Having been on the receiving end I can safely say that gettin' flamed before you've had a chance of cocking it up does not help matters... a CD playing will have been checked extensively during a sale's check have no fear

Yes I see you point Flerbs

So far the dealer has been excellent - selling cars is great business for them. The real proof for an excellent dealer however is how they deal with a customer and their problems. I am giving this dealer every chance to show me what they can do and then and only then will I report my balanced views on the matter.

TBH - the car is not a wreck, nothing is falling off, they are no major mechanical errors, the faults I listed are minor and frustrating but should be easily rectified by a dealer. Here is hoping

Isn't science fun?!?! Eye think so!
