RE: My Car Has Been In An Accident!!! (Don't Rely On Carfax)
It might be worth a call to the dealer if you want to make a fuss and exchange it for something else. You could mention how many followers you have on Steemit and how much good publicity it would buy them if they treat you right. And you could argue that you've had to make serious unexpected repairs in the first 30 days and want to return it under the lemon law.
It looks like a pretty sweet car to me, though. If the mechanic says it's sound, and you're happy with it, maybe it's not worth the fight?
The Prius I've been driving for the last three years was pretty badly beaten up...by my grandfather. He knocked three of the hubcaps off and bent the frame by driving it over a parking lot median before we took the keys away from him. Now the plastic undercarriage panels just hang down because they can't be fastened into place. I could have it straightened out by an auto-body place but my mechanic said, "Meh, if it's not giving you any problems, don't bother." So an accident isn't really the end of the world.
Hahaa Thank you :) Thats a really good Idea, I didn't think of using my Steemit followers as a way of getting what I want! Luckily no serious repairs thus far! But thats good to know, I was really scared that I would be "stuck with it" if something serious was damaged.
I am happy with it, So this time I won't fight it ! But If it were serious I would fight it all the way.
Wow!! Probably a good thing you guys took the keys from your grandfather. I'm glad the car works fine for you! But I know it can be a bit disappointing seeing the car you care about with "dings" or small issues that aren't worth the repair. I think we often assume all accidents are the end of the world. But you are right, They aren't :)
