You don't own a boat, do you?

A car that cost as much as my boat would be obscene.

It's not in a garage either.

Jeez that would suck having all of that damage! Hmm maybe I can pick my 2011 up a bit cheaper

I remember one time at my house we had a sudden tornado warning... literally five minutes later I look over my house and sure enough I see a dang funnel cloud. I sit in the basement for a while then start hearing tree's falling all over the place and stuff. The sirens quit so I went to look outside and it starts hailing golfball sized hail....... I look over and there's my Mustang sitting outside. I thought for sure it would have severe damage from that. After the storm was over I went and took lots of pics of the hail and stuff - it was just huge chunks of ice. I went and inspected my car and there wasn't a single dent. How it didn't get dented is beyond me

I talked to a guy at the dealer again today and they plan on fixing every single car and selling them with no discounts whatsoever. I'm sure when the unsuspecting buyer comes in after they're fixed they'll say "This car had a little bit of hail damage, but was repaired by our expert staff and now she looks good as new." I'm sure they won't go into the extent of the hail damage. But, then again, if you didn't know, would it really matter?

I would definitely get a discount or just go to a different dealer and get one that hasn't had the damage - lol. I suppose it wouldn't matter to me as long as the car was absolutely flawless, still covered under every warranty, and had no record of being in hail damage. I'm pretty sure that they all have hail damage in their records now right?

I've seen it first hand in my old dealerships and NO you don't discount it, you fix it RIGHT and put them on the lot.

All this talk, man you would think the storm hit barret-jackson for gods sakes
