Well, I picked up my Silver VX the other day.
When I was going over it I noticed:
- The paint was speckled with what looked like little bits of rust. It was obviously fallout from wherever it had been sitting. It was so dirty I wasn't able to tell the difference between chips and dirt!
- Watermarks all over the paint
- There was two scratches on the paint
- Rear scuff trim was not put back in properly after fitting towbar harness - sloppy work
- Interior was only semi-clean with smudge marks
- Smudges on the windows
- Underbody hadn't been cleaned at all.
Needless to say I wasn't impressed. When we purchased my wifes $21k Honda Jazz it was immaculately spotless, it is reasonable to expect the same when purchasing a $75k 4wd!!! The dealer promised to have it fully detailed inside and out, touch up the scratches and top the tanks up at the first service.
When driving home I noticed that the front seat rattles constantly when no one is sitting in it and the rear seats make a similar rattle over bumps. Has anyone else experienced this? I also noticed the dash resonates at idle intermittedly and at certain RPM (~1400).
When I got home I noticed that the windshield washer fluid reservoir was empty and the radiator fluid had been overfilled and subsequently sprayed the driver side of the engine bay. What the hell did I pay a delivery fee for?
So what was supposed to be an excited time has been severely dampened by the above. Apart from the issues mentioned, the car does drive very nicely and I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of the stereo. Pics and build up thread coming soon...
