When collecting new car...
-
When collecting new car, I'm sure most of you will check the car thoroughly for dents, scratches, loose parts etc.... However, what happens if you do find one of those defects? How will the SE react? What will the company do?
My guess is, they will just get their mechanic to fix the problem for you... You will still end up with the same car that you saw... I dont think they will get another car for you right? After all each car is registered differently and different colours and accessories options also....
I suppose that if it's dents and scratches, they will repair it and then do paint touch up... and if it's noise during driving, they will fix it too, but no guarantee that the noise wont come back again... just count yourself suay....
Am I right to say that there is no way they will change another car for you on the collection day even if you found defects? (excluding extreme cases like the engine wont start etc.) -
Change a new car? U think what? Suka suka can just change a new car? Do u know a car once registered is under your name? Not to mention the intricacies when a bank loan is involved.

Yah that was what I said right? So if the car comes with minor defects, you just have to wait longer for them to repair it... as for serious defects, just count yourself suay.... -

Ya i think cannot change new car too, but mayb can ask more freebies and stuff, afterall they r responsible to give u a brand new good condition working car, so while changing the car may not be possible, i think it is reasonable to ask for some form of free gifts like vouchers or nice rims or watever, no harm trying!!Originally posted by freakass:When collecting new car, I'm sure most of you will check the car thoroughly for dents, scratches, loose parts etc....

However, there was a case about BMW not too long ago. An owner bought the car and it gave so many problems. He sued BMW's Performance Motors. Recourse is a lengthy and costly affair. This only happens in Singapore BTW.Originally posted by freakass:Relax bro.. dont need to be so hostile... i am not AhSiah....

nego with the SE to pay compensation...lol

How bout the case of the guy who bought a brand new bmw, which started to leak and caused stains to the leather.
When he asked for a brand new car, performance motors refused to give him one, but instead offered to rectify the damages. And the guy sued them.
What are your opinions?..Btw, anyone know whats the outcome of the case? -
Before u collect ur car, it has to pass thru the pre-delivery inspection (PDI) dept.'s inspection. After dat they will hand over to ur SE who will check the car again before calling u for collection. They wouldn't wanna kena complains from customers too. Dat is y sometimes when they can't deliver ur car on time, it is becoz the car didn't pass @ their stage. (some SEs r more meticulous?)
If u'r not satisfied when u check ur car, they will rectify it asap. They can't change a new car 4 u coz ur car has been registered under ur name. Once registered, ur log card will state the car's chassis & engine no., color etc + all ur particulars. So, even if u change ur mind about the color of ur car, they won't do it for u.
Note: if there's any flaws/dents/probs dat u'r not comfortable with during inspection, u don't have to accept it. Coz if u return the next day with ur new car & tell them about the problem which u 'overlooked' the day b4 (they'll presume dat it was ur own carelessness), u probably need to pay for the repairs.
