I would, but definitely they have to lower the price or pay for the detail. I've seen very few (counted w one single hand) dealerships that actually care about the paint


Good job on that thing... Even though I love black cars this specific model of camaro I love it in the bumble bee yellow chevy has. vroom! lol

Well, most of the dealers in my area seem to be the excepton. One particular dealer that deals with Toyota,, Lexus, Scion and Chevrolet consistantly deliver their detailed new cars in top condition even though their holding lots are all outside. My wife and I recently took delivery of a 2009 Scion with absolutley no problems.

When a BRAND NEW car comes off the lot with swirls and RIDS it makes me wonder where its been or been through.

Nice paint on that Chevy. I have seen some black Yukons around here with some horrendous orange peel. The paint condition seemed fine but you could not see crisp reflections.

It is very difficult to find a dealer, at least in the tri-state area here, that takes good care to the cars and doesn't drive them through an automated wash before delivery. I've seen a few in Yellow as well, definitely fits the car!

Proper dealers do exist fortunately, they have just gotten more and more sparse due to most of them making cut backs and just hiring kids with buffers to prep their cars....if they even prep them outside of a wash. I could take you to an Infiniti lot on the main line here and just walk along the front row of G coupes, some are swirled so back you can barely tell the color in sunlight!

It is nice paint, but its rather soft! The C6 corvettes and the ZR1's are evidently guilty of this as well! Too many people are concerned about a clean car, not a detailed one

Re: Oakes - Detailed: 2010 Camaro SS - New vehicle Prep

Thanks guys! I got to take the car out - friend owns it, didn't mind if I took it out - and it's a cool car, who can complain about 426hp?
