Default Re: Dealer Emblems

I ordered/bought a new '90 Mustang LX and specifically requested that no dealer emblem was to be installed during dealer prep. They wrote a work order for several additional dealer items (floor mats, etc.) and noted my request on the form. The day the car arrived (several weeks later) the dealer prep guys drilled holes and mounted the dealer emblem on the back hatch with sheet metal screws--and they weren't even stainless screws. (Cheap bast**ds.) I was so f-ing mad that I refused to take delivery of the car. The sales manager leaned on me and I produced the work order that stated "Do not install dealer emblem on car." After two days of back-and-forth I finally hired a lawyer and the dealer backed down immediately. Initially I had demanded my money back but the dealer really wanted my money so they ordered another car and threw in some free stuff. Six weeks later I had the second car, five free oil changes, and free floor mats.

Don't get me started on dealer emblems...

(Unless they say "By Berger" and are mounted on a 427 conversion car. Then they're solid gold.)
