Default Am I the only One?

Found this thread about a brand new unsold RS4.0. The dealer didn't see a problem using it for some antics. Check it out and chime in with your honest thoughts?

That's the problem. They aren't doing that. Some poor soul will never know what their new baby went through.

My first thought was "keep the shoes off the dash!"

We all know how easily the interior of the xB scratches - I had mine a day before the glovebox door was nicked and scratched for life...

As long as there was no damage to the interior of the "antic" vehicle, and the suspension is fine, I see no problem with it. If there was damage then yes they need to sell it at a reduced rate.

"Buyer Beware"

I inspected my box for about 45 minutes before I signed any paperwork after it arrived on my dealers lot.

Personally, I would be more concerened with a potential customer taking a test drive and driving it in a manner I would call damaging (over revving, etc).

Thats why I ordered mine from the factory. Came to me with 2 miles on the ODO.

We know how to have fun just not at another cars expense. That is also why both of our Scions came with only 2 miles on it.

One i know how people drive the cars (even the employees) cause i know people who work at dealership. That would just be the icing on the cake for me knowing that 20 peeps had been all over my car.

Yes, that was done by the super mod cherrybox. Darren has been notified. I wish you could read the warning cherrybox gave me saying I was using personal attacks. What nerve?

I'd almost guarantee they won't. Scion knows about it now tho.

you guys need to lighten up. who ever buys it will inspect it and if they see something they don't like they won't buy it. The car is still under warranty. Find a real cause.

I don't think I'd like it if 20 people had crammed into my new car, however, don't feel it's worth personal attacks, if that is indeed what happened.

It's also bothersome to see threads and posts deleted so much. Unless someone posts a threat or one's address, I think posts ought to stay intact. Locking a thread is probably the only thing I can half agree with.
