Ouch... hope they get things straightend out. ALWAYS check a car over before you buy it. No way in heck would I of bought a car with defects in the paint.
They told me they looked it over, but I'm more anal about cars than my parents. I'm thinking about getting DCX involved with this because the dealership basically flat out lied to them about the vehicle (colors, availability, them being the only ones to own one).OUWxGuesser said:Ouch... hope they get things straightend out.

OMG....the ONLY ones I've seen here in Cleveland are Sunburst Orange, I've been trying to find another color...lol, yesterday I found a metallic red (I don't know the official name), but it was to be delivered to the customer in about 20 minutes so I couldn't test drive it...the damn things are sold as soon as they come off the truckXxsrt4xX said:They told me they looked it over, but I'm more anal about cars than my parents.

Something’s definitely not right.Xxsrt4xX said:They told me they looked it over, but I'm more anal about cars than my parents.

And maybe get the Sunburst Orange to replace this one!sr4tuner said:You should under all circumstances contact them and put a stop to all this nonsense. The dealer is messing with you and not getting your parent's what they... if youre really really lucky you can get him fired.
Its good to hear things got worked out with your dealership, I am sure someone will hear about the sub-standard satisfaction you had with the sales person.Xxsrt4xX said:**Second update**
Alright, stoped by the dealership this morning. Spoke with the sales manager an told him about the BS story the salesman gave my parents. He seemed to care......Then we spoke to the service rep. They will be contacting DCX about redoing the paint. The "hard to close" drivers side door is a known problem according the svc rep.
And they will be realigning the left rear door as well. They were pretty much kissing our arses. I just hope they fire that salesman.....what was his name......oh yeah......Fabio!
Anyway, once the repairs are made, I'll let ya know how it went. Oh, one other thing, these dumbasses also left greasy fingerprints in the car after it was allgedly "detailed".....f'ing tools!!!
MARCH 13 - PLANT PRODUCTION UPDATESXxsrt4xX said:My parents just picked up a Stone White Caliber the other day. So I stop by and gave it the once over. First off, driver's door is a bit*ch to close. Paint is all screwed up (chipped from factory, debris in paint, holes in paint), left rear door isn't aligned properly, and it was not detailed when they picked it up. Anyway, my father tells me that he wanted the sunburst orange and the dealer said it was not available until September. I was like WTF! The dealer also told him that he is the only one in the entire United States to actually have one of these as all of the Calibers currently at dealers are demos only.....again WTF! I told him to go back to the dealer and create a big deal about the paint and call their bluff on the other shizz and have them get him the Caliber he wants. Okay, now that my rant is over, I have aa question. Seeing as his car will more than likely have to be repainted, if he complains about wanting to get rid of it and get the orange one, do you think the dealer will oblige his request?

Thanks for the help Dan! I just really hope they reprimand him for his really crappy salesmanship. Come to find out, he just started working for them a couple months ago.DodgeInfoCenter said:Its good to hear things got worked out with your dealership, I am sure someone will hear about the sub-standard satisfaction you had with the sales person.
Being the first Caliber in the NJ area, having your parent’s car absolutely perfect should be top priority. Think of yourselves as ambassadors for the Caliber in each of your areas.
Once again I apologize for "Fabio" and hope your parents enjoy there new caliber.

Sure you're in the right forum?? Why would a Caliber have a tow group package?HemiDakota said:MARCH 13 - PLANT PRODUCTION UPDATES
