I just got the car thursday night couldnt drive it because it wasnt insured. It was a bday present from my dad and the next day he took it to work because he was to take it to the insurance right after. He comes home and i find out that he had been in a minor accident! The front bumper is scratched and so is one of the head lights. Easy to repair im sure but still kinda upset because people on the road look at me and think im a bad driver because it is a new car and already a scratch. Can they fix this any time soon? Or do they not have the parts yet and i might have to wait a while till they can repair this?

 

let me get this straight. you just got a car for FREE and you are complaining?



Post pics and we can tell if it' easy to fix or not. There are many dealers who post in this forum so they can tell you if the parts are already available.

 

itll prob be somewhere around $400 to fix it if u take it to a shop, ur dealer might take care of it for u for cheaper...

 

also i noticed that my passenger seats arent memory they dont go back to where they used to be when moved? is it just for me or is it everyone else? and i dont know how to post pictures?

 

The scratches may be able to be buffed out... depending on how deep. I didn't know the seats had a memory function. I had them on my Honda and don't recall them working either. Maybe we're not using them right :oops:

 

This has been posted before. The memory is only on the driver's side and it's not like some special electronic gizmo. It just goes back to the same slot when you have to put it forward to let someone in the back

 

also can someone give me tips on breaking in the car i have an auto and i know i shouldnt rev over 3000rpm before i hit 1000miles and should i waste most of the gas before filling it up again? and when should i do my first oil change? Is there anything else im missing in this maintenance?

 

 

just drive normally. don't get on it much. the computer will shift when it needs to shift. if you had a manual then you would need to pay more attention but with an auto, you don't have much choice in the fact.
