I have never bought a car I really hated until the dealer failed to follow through on service.
My first new car was a Chevy Beretta GT. Loved it, ran great, ran 80 MPH from Georgia to PA averaging 30 mpg. The one day at a stop light it stalled. I got it home and then called the dealer. They were [censored] because I was 120 miles under the warranty limit. They kept the car and claimed it was bad gas, dumped a full tank and charged me $200. Went to pick the car up and it wouldn't start. 6 months later they relaced the block, the head, the cooling system, after I had to file a claim in court. They intitally made me drive a rental cavalier so I ran 15,000 mile up on it then a service rep from Detriot came to meet with me and the Military Jag Officer. The gave me a Caramo to drive off the dealers lot and the rep told the dealer he had 7 days to fix the car.
Day 6 they told me the car would be ready so I showed up to pick it up and they said the seals were drying (yes, they said it) I noticed it was not in a service bay so I looked around the lot and found it in the body shop with a red hood on it. Story goes they damaged another blue beretta so they plopped my hood on it figuring they had time. They then pained the hood blue but it didn't match, then they paint the hood and front fenders, and it still didn't match. Eventually they painted the car but faded it to the rear so in the sun you coud se it got gradually darker at the rear. I was just happy to have it back, I was 22 year old, impatient. I got in the car, got one exit and the temp guage was pegged. Pulled into a Kmart, let it cool down, drove to a sister dealer of the one that "fixed" my Beretta, showed them all the work they did to it, the dealer was impressed, it was "better than new", gave me $2000 over book to buy a new Saturn Twin cam SL2 and I was out of there. Best part, the next day the dealer called to tell me they sold the car and the block cracked. I told them to call their sister dealer.
I never bought another GM for 18 years but I still fondly look at Beretta when I spot one.
