So I did my usual Friday afternoon stop at the Dodge dealer. They really do love when I come in there. It seems nice and quiet until I walk through the door, and then people start moving in all directions to get out of the way. They look like a group of roaches scattering as soon as you turn on the light.
So here is (apparently) the story. In efforts to provide better quality control for vehicles, Dodge has teamed up with the government to do spot inspections on randomly chosen, newly built vehicles. A lotto of sorts.
Woohoo! Guess which lucky person hit their lotto! The good news is that my truck has passed a supposedly VERY picky and stringent inspection. So in theory, I should have one heck of a good truck. That, or the manager at the Dodge dealer can really shovel the old bull chips around. We shall see if and when the truck actually arrives. It should be shipped early next week and I should actually take possession late next week.
He used the word should a lot. I should kick him in the hind end.
Speaking of hitting the lotto, I hope they are refunding you some cash for the delay… After all if a customer is late on a payment, they tac on interest- right?
I won’t hold my breath. Although I did talk to him about getting price breaks on some accessories.
Heh. Wait and see how many miles are on it when it arrives. The testing involves driving it. I’d push for a warranty extension if it’s more than a few miles on the truck.
You did tell them to be sure there is no dealer sticker on the truck, right? No free advertising! I have talked to people who traded keeping the sticker on the vehicle for lifetime oil changes.
Good luck!
Oh I can hardly wait to see when it finally arrives. I have already refused to change the oil on my trade in.
