Plus, the way that you explain it, Ray, it sounds like the sales guy was just venting, like a "Shame on you" type-thing. Really, what's going to cost them more? Taking you to court, where even if they win, they get back a "used car" (you've driven it already, so depreciation has already kicked in), and they have spent a ton of money on a lawyer. It's lose-lose for them. They prolly will make out better by just having their techs replace the transmission and vowing to never do business with you again.
I wouldn't worry about it. Tell them that they can take you to court, and in the meantime, you're planning a cross country drive with your new car. :) Kevin Graeme wrote: > Be honest but firm.
