The dealership has had my car for a week now. I finally got them to fix all the rust. Turns out that I was explained the rust warranty wrong when I bought the car. If I had read the warranty paper better I would have discovered that my rust was indeed not covered. Only "Penetrating body rust" is covered.
In a good faith gesture the dealership decided to split the cost of doing the repairs with me. I was told the total would not exceed three hundred dollars even if it turned out to cost more than six hundred. Three of four days he said.
I want my car back. The rental they gave me has no balls at all and doesn't have my sub in the trunk. I miss my bass.
Christine made the joke that they might be "Pimping my Ride". I laughed at that and yet secretly hope... It was just a few spots of seemingly minor damage. Why the hell is taking so long do you think? I called on Friday and he told me:"They finished all the work and then Bob pulled the carpet back in the trunk and found rust inside." A little confused I asked "Doesn't that mean that it was penetrating rust and that the rust warranty should cover it after all?" He assured me that it wasn't "penetrating rust" as the rust warranty company defined it and that the car was now with GM body work specialists. We talked a bit longer but because I was driving I didn't follow very well... I just caught him mentioning that it could possibly be free... I ended the call and merged in to traffic on the four seventeen.
On another note... I hope to have some good news to report to you all in the upcoming week. All five of you keep your fingers crossed for me.
