Apparently he might not have it at all!

I personally wouldnt want a brand new car that might've had some non-obvious damage from sitting there on its discs!!



So why the hell cant paint open a jpeg?

You reckon they'd tell him??? Unless he was due to pick it up this morning i reckon they'd get it repaired asap.

When i worked at skoda we had loads of cars done over in the compound one weekend. They all went to their new owners who were never the wiser to what had gone on.

Fucking cunts!

i went to a dealership the other day where they had one in stock for sale, they had left it outside on the fourcourt while things like a Standard Focus & Fiesta was inside & this place is not really surrounded by anything....crazy!!!

i wouldnt even think about it leaving it outside for that reason!


My local Allen Ford had a Ford GT for sale but they didnt leave it outside...

There is only one thing more annoying than having your pride and joy damaged like that and that is the thousands of tiny pieces of glass your bound to find each time you hoover the car out. No matter how hard you try your never going to get rid.

I'd happily refuse to accept the car just on that basis alone.

Shocking!

I cant believe they actually left it on pallets though! As though they didnt want to damage the car!?!?! Very strange!

Thats some bad shit right there. It'd be the last thing you'd expect. Hope he can get some tasty compensation from the dealer for the stress/hastle & tears

That dont help much anyway mate, they just bang a socket on. if they have the time, they'll get em regardless. Only way to prevent it is a decent alarm, which you would have thought Ford would have fitted as standard to these.

Damn decent of them to leave it on pallets, in a kinda odd way!

Left my old Renault with a garage not too long ago to have some work done and, unbeknown to me, they left it outside on a Friday night. Got the dreaded phone call Saturday morning to tell me it had been broken into. I was expecting to get down there and find a wreck (which i did, but it was the same as when i left it!! ) but I got lucky as well. Yes my stereo, some of my CDs and my battery booster had gone, but they didnt damage anything. You know what some cunts are like, they'll torch a car just for the 'fun' of it. Happy ending though, got a new booster paid for, as well as a stereo that cost twice as much as the one that was stolen!

Cunts

Can't see that there's exactly many of these wheels on the second hand market, shouldn't be too hard to find?

cnuts!!!!

atleast they put it on pallets tho to be fair to them, alot would of just pushed it off the jack and let it smash the floor... bit stpid tho as any focus with the RS wheels is going to be a suspect or if any turn up on ebay!

if i were the bloke i would refuse the car and tell them to get me another one and expect all the extras as form of compensation or a bit knocked off for the hassel... he is never going to be happy knowing the car had the window smashed before he even had the car himself, he will find glass for ever more.

what sort of alarm do these have and where the hell did they happen to find 4 pallets, could it of been an inside job by any chance as it looks a little to well planned than to happen to find it by chance
