Default S6 Delivered.....

...black, nav, park, heated rears.

Beautyful looking car, delivered with broken Nav, squeaky brakes and a shimmy that feels like warped rotors! So the day after delivery it is going back into the shop.....great! at least dealer will pick up and deliver.

Default Unacceptable from dealer.....

...hope they're giving you a good discount, anyway!

P.S. Did some yahoo like me test drive it before you? At least I didn't warp my own rotors :^)

Default The shimmy could just be some rust crusting on the rotor surface...

that needs to be scrubbed off...especially if it just arrived from the boat or if it has been sitting on the lot for a bit...squeaky brakes could also be the same type of stuff, some rust or glazing...no sweat.

The Nav...? How'd it get outta the factory with a broken nav?

Default Sorry to hear that. Not a good start, but hopefully easily corrected

At least no TBB or Turbos to worry about!
Good Luck.

Default Damn, that's not good. They better make it "whole" or, IMO, I would give them all "1's" when

the all-important survey "comes-a-call'n". Don't knock the salesguy too hard but he should have made sure everything checked-out. I would hit the dealership hard on the survey when they ask about the pre-delivery inspection.

My salesguy double-checked everything when it came in (even drove it to stongard to get the application done; but then again, maybe he just wanted to drive a S6).

Default Are you sure it's new?

What was the mileage? There should have been inspections done at both the port and the stealership. Obviously both parties dropped the ball, and you should bring your wrath down on your salesperson.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I'm sure it will - ahem - shake out fine. What's broken on the Nav?

Default My 4.2 was delivered slightly flawed too...

Problems with the installed Motorola cell phone rendered the stereo ...and phone useless. Dealer caught this as I was heading over to pick the car up. A week later the psgr side front floor was flooded after a strong rain. Plugged drainhole due to a kinked hose, apparently. Dealer to care of both problems and actually bumped a few other service appointments to squeeze me in.
