I bought my Audi from that dealer but my experience was slightly better...

Drives me crazy that they aren't doing shit, could be a Rio for all I care, they should still be responsible.

I know the mechanic that crashed it lollll

Wow, that guy is MUCH more patient than I am. At this point, I would be in jail.

thats mechanic is retarded and I would have slaughtered his entire family by now

lambo is a super stable car ontop of it lol

I've once heard of a story where a Dodge Dealer salesmen wrecked a Viper on delivery before the buyer came by to pick it up. The dealer denied responsibility, but however, this got wind to Auburn Hills and they not only replaced the Viper, they canned the dealer.

There would be blood shed if it happened to my car.

And I definitely don't have a lambo.

"I want a 2011 Superleggera for free, and yes you assholes can pay the upfront taxes and fees on it too"

Laughter, "...or your fuck up will hit international media one month from today. What do you think the backlash will do to your sales?"

Slander? "Truth is an affirmative defense to slander motherfucker."

Extortion? "No, that would entail revealing sensitive personal information, I'm not threatening to tell your wife you are fucking the milkman, I'm giving you an ultimatum: replace my car *you fucked up* with the best car you have on your lot for free, and if it's not better than mine, order one, or I go to international media and tell them your mechanic fucked up *my car* driving recklessly...this is your one shot at customer satisfaction and saving face."

/how it's done.

(you can still sue them in civil court if they don't satisfy your needs.)

only one dealer is allowed to sell lambos in montreal any way.

Gee, goes to show that you can pay a ton of cash and still get s**t!

I bought a brand new car years ago from a Ford dealer-of-s**t and the entire experience was pathetic.

I buy used now and found that I pretty much get better quality in both vehicle and service.

Many legal ways to nail assholes like that. As for deadlines, if it was my car, they would have three days to replace it. After that, the bad publicity begins.

Major assholes.

Well if there wasn't anything comparable on the lot, I would give them a month for the Superleggera, only because that's how long I would expect the absolute minimum wait to be ... my boss tried to buy a GTR last year (or year before, it's pretty much a blur to me) and found there was a 9 month wait period.


Also assuming I had the same car he had.


If my dealer wrecked mine, (which they wouldn't, but if they did), I'd want 2009 or 2010 LGT for replacement (wouldn't be a total cock: it'd be embarrassing as hell if they took my car out for a speedride and fucked it up).

International media doesn't give a rats ass about stories like this. These things get tiny coverage of a paragraph tucked into a local news section. So all of these cracked up threats of "we will take your business down, you'll go broke because of us" is just consumers on their high horse that have zero concept of how shit works. Get a grip

No business owner in his right mind would offer compensation PLUS. market value of a few year old Gallardo right now is well under $100K. Even if it went to court, no judge would ever say you must replace a $90,000 car with a $180,000 car just to please the consumer. That's right up the alley of an attempt at a frivolous lawsuit.

This is why Dealers and mechanics have insurance! To pay for damages to vehicles caused while in their possesion. All of your sue this media that bullshit makes me sick. Trying to get something for free. Earn something, don't look for an opportunity for an undeserved handout....that's got spoiled pissed off brat written all over it. I'm not saying be happy if something happens to your ride, or whatever but don't think you're entitled to the world because of it. A heating a/c guy fucks something up in yoru house, he fixes it, he doesn't build you a new house.
More realistically, a guy makes a driving mistake and turns left in front of you, rearends you whatever the case.... and wrecks your car. Do you demand he replaces it with something worth twice the value? It's a traffic accident, that's what it is, that's how it gets treated. Police report, possible charges, insurance to cover damages, case closed. It doesn't matter that it's a Lambo, and it doesn't matter that the mechanic was driving it, he's insured and employed to do so.

I agree with you for the most part.
However I dont agree he should just deal with it.
I wouldnt want it back after.
That Lambo has now been in an accident, and has lost value. He should be compensated for that lost value. Obviously not with a superleggera

you try selling a VGA lambo

this is quebec, the land of the VIN swap, my bare frame of a sunfire i junked last year according to car fax is driving around in the gaspe!

you shifty quebecers.......haha.

Posted by team haymaker you shifty quebecers.......haha.

it's not just Quebec folks... Hell, I've switched VIN plates before. Over in Vermont, its done all the time and hapless NY'rs will buy the cars and get pissed off that they can't register them because they have been wrecked/rebuilt... enter the VIN swsp.

This doesn't seem like a case of simple accident. These mechanics were out in heavy(ish) traffic fucking around with someones fast and expensive car. Instead of taking accountability, firing that mechanic and working with their customer for a solution: instead the dealership decided to send a big "fuck you" to their customer. THAT is when the ultimatums get made and then action, activism, and plausibly deniable revenge occurs.


They took the car for a "test drive". Witnesses described the speed (on St-Martin in Laval) as incredibly reckless with several redline upshifts (1st gear ends at 112kph, 2nd gear at around 150, and 3rd at about 180. Do the math).


I meant usa/canada as the "international media" and the news eats stories like this up. "mechanic takes car for test drive at over 100MPH, totals it, screws owner..." it would hit TMZ, probably quite a few stations.


Oh, I was under the impression it was a new car. Fine give him an acceptable replacement.


Businesses want to save face, reputation matters, it's a concept even mcdonald's gets. Even when we get scammed it's better to lose a few bucks then piss people off. Because they go and tell five people who tell a few people who tell a few people...


Sure some people roll over but then you have the general psychos who will call in complaints if you don't appease them.


Then there are the truly ambitious people who turn into pyscho's when crossed and who know and utilize the many ways to fuck with people's lives ... it's the intent and motivation that's required. Give them that intent.
