Shame On You Holden

[DJ Majah]

I was reading in the Courier Mail (Queensland) yesterday about a bloke who bought a VY Clubsport a few or two ago. It was a limited edition, and bought it brand new off the lot. A few weeks later after realising the paint wasn't looking right, took it to a detailer, and had his suspicions confirmed. The car had been resprayed.

During dust storms, the car had apparently been damaged while sitting in the Holden lot. They simply resprayed it and sold it as new. Now this guy wants compensation, Holden are telling him to sit down and shut up, and his last option is to sue them.

I think loyal fans like this guy shouldn't have to put up with such rubbish from Holden. They should be ashamed of themselves.

thats pretty crappy i would seriously think about parking it outside the dealership with some big signs on it exclamating my disgust even better if you can get some wheel clamps for that untowable effect

 

[DJ Majah]

Forgot to mention - the dealership that sold him the car didn't even know about the respray.

WHAT THE?!?!?!?!? That's low.

So who actually resprayed it?

 

[DJ Majah]

Holden

before delivery to the yard?

You'd be pissed off with that. Surely he can get something done about it!

Unless it was the only car on the lot at the time (doubtful) how many other people have shelled out for the dust storm effect ?? Some heads should roll for that one.

A friend of mine went to a camp for "troubled teenagers" back in 1994. It was near northam in wa. Anyway, the kids were walking along a cliff face and down below was a train track. A train came along carrying hundreds of band new vr commodores, and being "troubled" teens they couldn't resist throwing stones down onto the nice new cars. What started as stones and some broken windscreens and scratched paintwork quickly turned into very large stones and boulders ect. They were going straight through the roof of the cars.

The poor train driver would have got a nasty shock when the cars eventually arrived in Perth. The point of the story is, What ever happened to thos cars?? After hearing the above story i wouldn't be suprised if holden just fixed the damage and sold them as brand new cars.
