It wasn’t meant to be

While literally signing the paperwork to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, the dealership’s detail shop crashed the car into a workbench. Suffice it to say, we didn’t buy it - and it’s either going to auction or ...they will repair it under the radar/ off the Carfax and sell it like nothing happened.

I’m annoyed, DH is annoyed - we wanted this car - it had high miles but was pristine, one owner, dealer maintained and had a lot of life left in it for what we needed it for. Plus we had even taken it for an extended test drive with their permission, in the pouring rain, to make sure it fit in our wonky garage. No issues or damage while we drove it. But yup, they crashed it, in their own detail shop!

Worst part is, I think the detail technician might have lost his/her job over it - just before Christmas. Sigh.

That stinks. At least no one was hurt. Hope you find a new car that’s a great fit also!

Thankfully yes, no one was physically hurt.

Oh no! I’m so sorry!!

A few years ago when my husband was going to trade in his car, the appraiser crashed it as he was driving it. He ended up not buying a car, so the dealership had to fix his, and then of course it was marked on car fax as being in an accident so his expensive mustang sports car was now worth next to nothing due to the dealership.
