I recently put a deposit on a blue 2020 GSF with the two-tone interior. The day before I was supposed to pick it up the dealer crashed the rear quarter panel.

After waiting 2 years for a local USB/carbon, this one was ruined the day before I was supposed to purchase. It just sucks.

That really sucks. Sorry to hear that

Are they getting you another one??

Pretty impossible hard to get another one I'm guessing. Having them fix it would be the best option and give a good discount.

How bad was the damage, just cosmetic?

ArticKnght

That is just heartbreaking to hear. If it is just cosmetic damage that is easily repaired, it would be worth picking it up still. That is a 1 of 13 car in the 2020 MY.

If you accept repair, they must replace the damaged panels.

Damn man, that is the worst! Was that the USB GSF in Englewood NJ?

JAYGS4NYC

Yes it was. Pass rear quarter had scrape damage with bad paint loss. Needs to be resprayed - I can't live with that kind of repair on a 70+k car. Can't live with it. I'm too picky.

any pictures available? depends on how much they're willing to discount and they aren't filing an insurance claim on it (so it stays off the car's record) I would consider it since it's cosmetic issue only. Agreed $70k+ is a lot to spend so you should get what you want but you also aren't buying a brand new car either.

USB is a very hard paint to color match, even for dealership. $70k gives a lot of options, get the deposit back and run away from this one.

Here's a guy who's living through his USB paint mistmatch nightmare.

If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be. I wouldn’t be able to live with it either.

As someone with a slightly off-color panel, I'm going to echo what everyone said and pass on this if you can't live with a slight difference. I bought my Molten Pearl GSF from Canada and I saw it through video and pictures, but not in person before delivery. The car is in great shape, but a rear panel was clearly scraped at some point, because the paint appears differently at different angles. Thankfully most of the bumper appears original and matches from the left through the middle of the car, but the back right is different if you are standing behind the car (in the first angle, you can't tell, but in the second angle it's obvious). I also have to imagine Molten Pearl is nearly impossible to match, so I am just going to live with it. Also, finding a low mileage Molten Pearl is nearly impossible and I love the Canadian spec features.

I can assure you that the factory paint code will look different on plastic bumpers. This was the case with my white GSF.
I walked into the Toyota showroom and noticed this anomaly on brand new cars too.

My indy shop had to color match my bumpers
