Snagged this from g35driver.com (click on link below for story and details). Interesting that this dealership is literally 5 min from where I live

I am not sure if I saw it in the article, but how fast was this guy going?

Worst that should have happened is that they may have gone on the grass...but as high as they did????

Yeah, I would be wanting a fully loaded G35 pronto.

 

thats crazy. I hope the buyer gets alot in return for it.

 

No commission for him..LOL

 

I bet you the test driver only drove FWD vehicles before he tested the G35.

 

Why were the wipers on?

 

If you read the thread, the salesman was driving the car.

 

ehhh... he swerved to avoid a car on his lane eh... Me thinks that long road behind him was tempting and he took the right turn too fast.

 

If you know the guy, lexusK8, and he wants to know what a G35 coupe is like, either PM me or respond on this thread and I'LL review and test-drive a G35 coupe here myself in the D.C. area, post my report on CAR CHAT .......and keep the car in ONE piece.

 

wow, that's too bad, he's gonna get some serious talk. that must be some speed, he went up so high..... poor car....

 

Talk, unforunately, won't fix that car. And the dealership has lost a lot of money on that car even after it IS repaired.....it can't be sold as a factory-new car anymore because of the accident. The car will have that on its CARFAX record....and essentially go for a used-car price.

 

they will prob replace the bumper, and fix whatever was damaged, and sell brand new. It is not common for cars delivered to be damaged, and just get new covers, or dings removed. I am surprised it wasn't worse.

 

I agree...with a delivered car right off the transporter, and with very minor damage, but this car was being test-driven after delivery to the dealership and had an accident on the road. That probably is another matter.

 

"I think I'll pass on this one, but thanks anyway."

 

actually there are "new" cars coming in at the port and right there they get a blown engine already. what they do is just put on another new engine and call it a new car. i think the bottom line is if the car hasn't assigned a owner yet it can still be sold as "new"?
