Fwd: Re: friend discovers new ttq with bondo (after purchase)

[joel nevin]

This wouldn't happen to be Lewis Motors would it?
Take the car to another dealer, and see what they say,
Kinney motors I believe is the only other one in
Vermont. Everyone that I have talked to, who has delt
with Lewis will never deal with them again. The are
very arrogant and don't treat their customers well.
Story:

Was looking at a 90Q20v there, took it for a test
drive, after test drive looked around car, noticed
that the rear bumper had scuff in it and was
mis-aligned. The salesguy said, "well, we can't do
anything about it, if you don't buy it someone else
will" Then proceded to try to kick the bumper back
into alignment. I left and never went back.
