2020 Fresh Off Truck Damaged

Story told to me is it was being unloaded and car in N and strap wasn’t tight and rolled off into something. The guys who ordered was just a “little” pissed.

Only options on car were the dual screen and seat comfort package.

That's really too bad. Wonder if the buyers are going to keep and fix or re-order?

More damage here than meets the eye. This will take more than two months to repair at a cost north of $9K, IMO.

$9k? Try $20k+...
I hope the buyer didn’t take delivery and think the damage is “minor”. Value of this one forever reduced... too bad.

I would refuse delivery and hope since this was such a stripped build they would give him one off the lot similar spec to what the buyer wants at no extra charge

Keep you posted the total cost to repair. This pic was taken at the repair shop where the dealer sends all repairs. I asked my buddy who owns the shop how it’s fixed and told they will cut at seams and piece back together. Showed me where a few of the seams are. I will try to take pics when I can as I stop by to hang out.

He is also trying to see what the dealer would let it go for.

Hard to believe, given how hard these are to get right now and how much profit dealers are making!
I call complete BS! And the terrible part is this repair won’t be on the Carfax since dealers can do it “off radar”.
Anyone buying a sliver G550 should check. Can you post the VIN?

Damn...That hurts. It has officially become a Copart vehicle. I would cry if it were me.

Doubt I will be given the VIN but it’s my buddy’s shop and they don’t play with basic cars at all. I believe him when he tells me they took it back and crushed it.

Told to fix it the whole back section would have to be taken apart at the seams. So good luck getting a brand new section right now. Plus then the issues with lining the door back up. The dealership this came from is owned by Nick Saban.
