Loaner question: What does the dealer normally give you?

[Dan]

Actually, the wife drove the SUT for the first time a few weeks ago. She liked it but says its not her thing. I have her trained well.

Dan, did you get your truck back? More importantly, did you plant the dairy? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes, and no. The truck is back and everything is fixed.

I returned the loaner right from work so I didnt have a chance to pick up any groceries.

I did happen to leave my garage door opener in it though. Back to the dealer...

In many dealerships loaners are a product of the sales office and not the service department. I've never done the rental car thing but have always gotten demos from the dealers I bought my vehicles from and that always goes through the sales office. As Hummertech pointed out, this generally is a buyer perk not a perk of just bringing your vehicle there for service.

Of course some dealerships might offer more service than others but, as stated, you are going to end up paying for it any way one way or the other.

Drove away in a green Malibu, pissed. The thing stinks so bad I can smell it on my clothes today at work. I emptied a bottle of Febreeze in it before bed, left the windows down all night, and it didnt touch the stench. There are spent matches on the drivers floor where someone apparently was lighting smokes and throwing them on the floor. There are other unidentifiable odors which could be coffee, chili, or something I don't want to know about.

Its unwashed, unvacuumed, I had to clean the inside of the windshield since I couldnt see crap in the sun from the smoke haze, and the front marker light is out and people can't tell if I'm turning. The thing only has ~9000 miles on it too!

Take it back and tell them the check engine light keeps coming on and you fear for your safety. If they don't give you something else, threaten their pets.

I understand that the dealer might be more accomodatign to me if they knew I bought the car there. However, while it was not purchased by myself at this dealer.... the prior owner did by it there. That should mean something. Not alot. But, something.

Really, the Buick wouldn't be a big deal if we weren't getting 10" of snow tonight.

[Dan]

Yeah yeah.

Its a bit better today after sitting out in the parking lot with all the windows down. Its going out in the driveway tonite like that.

Before I bring it back I'm going to stash a few eggs and a paper carton of milk under the back seat.

I'm taking mine in for service tommorow....It's a caddy/hummer dealer. I'm hoping I get something nice becuase I have a hot date after work. I know it shouldn't matter but I would much rather show up in a H2 or a Escalade than a POS. That's why I dropped the $$$$ on a new Lux H2!
