Cracked windshield

[Mr Bean]

More of a dealer issue if you ask me. The dealer I I bought the car from is not accepting liability for a crack in my windshield. Before I picked the car up they changed it out for a new one, which would tell me that it has either been improperly fitted or there is an issue with the car itself. Either way, I haven't made my first payment on the car yet, which is due this Friday, and I'm wondering if I should just take the car back to them and forget about it. I don't want to get the windshield replaced and find it cracks again another two weeks down the road.

Any thoughts ?

Don't pay and they repo the car. If you have full coverage INS they cover the windshield. If not it is yours.
If you have time by law to return it you might consider doing so. Is this a major dealer or one of these scumbags on the corner type?

 

[Mr Bean]

That'll be the scumbag on the corner type. That's why I'm thinking of letting them have the vehicle back before I pay out on it. I'd sooner do that and then go and get the same kind of vehicle from a Ford dealer.

hThat'll be the scumbag off the corner variety. That's why Im thinking of letting them have the vehicle back and I can then go and get a like vehicle off a Ford dealership.

A repo will screw your credit

 

[Mr Bean]

I'm not understanding how it would be a repo, if I haven't actually made a payment on the car yet.

Is it a buy here pay here or do you have a loan, if its a loan your going to screw youself by not paying

 

[Mr Bean]

OK. Now I get it. After many phonecalls I have managed to get them to at least look at the stress crack. I have to make a 200km round trip which kind of sucks but at least I'm on the right path.

I'd go through insurance to have it fixed

 

[Mr Bean]

They refused to replace it, after arguing with them for over two hours. Wasted enough negative energy on it so called it a day. I'll change it out in the spring.
