Bought a new 06 Mustang GT. Took delivery of it late, and it wasent cleaned good. Been sitting in the garage since I bought it only drove it once. Gave it a good washing today and noticed a few things.....
Overspray--The car has lots of it, little black spots over the whole car, I know it can be taken off with a claybar but I don't feel I should have to do that to a new $30k+ car.
Clearcoat Scratches--I ahve noticed 5-6 small hairline scratches in the clearcoat/through the clear. You can feel them with your fingernail. I think one is even down to the primer. Again it is hairline widths, maybe two hairs, but they stand out. I had some friends even noticed them just with the glancing over the car.
Scratches in the glass--The glass ont he passenger side, looks like someone took a ring to them, has some pretty deep, fealable scratches.
and lastly
ORANGE PEEL!!!!!--The whole car has orange peel. It is really bad, its not in the clearcoat, its down in the paint. Its VERY noticable, my dad saw it and he doesn't have that great of eyesight for little things like that. Its not on area like the spoiler/bumpers, just on the Metel parts of the car I think. This is totally unacceptable IMO.
I will not accept the car being repainted. What do you think I should seek as a resolution for this? Looking for ideas before I go to the dealership in the morning. I have already talked to them and they want to look at it, and said they might have to give me a new car (Should I only accept this?)
Am I being to unreasonable. Anyone buy a new car recently, a ford to be more exact? Does it have orange peel? I just went by the local dealership and the cars there where dirty so it was hard to tell if they where like that but they didnt look like it.
Thanks,
Josh
