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.
