Oh please explain it bud lolIs it just that some of you don't know what obligation means? Help me understand your confusion so I can explain it better.

you are the one confused. You think the dealer's obligation is putting you in a new truck. You need to get out of the mindset that the dealer owes you a new truck at no cost. Their obligation is to fix the truck at no cost to you, that is it.Is it just that some of you don't know what obligation means? Help me understand your confusion so I can explain it better.
It. Is. Not. No. Cost.Yes I would be pissed if my truck was damaged, would I ask for a new truck, probably yes but I would not be mad if they said no. I would expect them to fix it into brand-new condition. Again that is their obligation. And yes some of you are expecting to walk out of there with a brand new truck at no cost. I’d love to see how some of you act if you got into a regular car accident. would you expect the same thing. As said above there’s not gonna be one dealer out there that is going to handover the keys to a brand new truck just because they damaged yours by accident.
Obligation doesn't necessitate legal action or authority.Oh please explain it bud lol
You just don't know what the word means. No worries.you are the one confused. You think the dealer's obligation is putting you in a new truck. You need to get out of the mindset that the dealer owes you a new truck at no cost. Their obligation is to fix the truck at no cost to you, that is it.
Exactly. They just need to sit down and figure out some numbers everyone can be happy with.I don't think anyone is expecting a brand new truck for free. What we are saying is the guy should get a new truck for a HEAVILY DISCOUNTED PRICE !! If it was me I'd expect to fork over a few thousand bucks for a brand new 2022. Then they can have my 2021 p.o s. wrecked truck & try to sell it to some poor sucker. Which is why I would NEVER buy used !!!
nothing wrong with buying used. You just have to know what your looking at. Sellers trying to sell a messed-up vehicle are expecting to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. Not every buyer is retarded. plenty of us have gotten great dealers on used vehicles.I don't think anyone is expecting a brand new truck for free.

accidents happen. its a part of life. Are you going to have a hissy fit when you get into an accident on the freeway? **** happens. Don't act like you have never gotten into an accident.Exactly. They just need to sit down and figure out some numbers everyone can be happy with.
The answer sure as hell isn't "it just happens."
You're back on this again? Me wrecking my own truck on the highway isn't the same as some kid wrecking it being an idiot in the dealer parking lot.accidents happen. its a part of life.

Where in my comment did I say anything about legal action? The only thing the dealer has to do is repair the damages whether they do it themselves or send it somewhere else for the repairs. Keeping the customer happy is a different story. If they want to keep that customer then they may offer a discount on a replacement vehicle or free service work or something like that. The incident is a headache for both the customer and the dealer. Look at it from both sides. If you were the deaer would you simply hand the keys to a new vehicle? I highly doubt you would. You'd probably kiss their asses a little to keep the customer happy but you wouldn't do thatObligation doesn't necessitate legal action or authority.
Sorry we aren't all perfect like you.You're back on this again? Me wrecking my own truck on the highway isn't the same as some kid wrecking it being an idiot in the dealer parking lot.
Were you the one who wrecked his truck or something because that's how you're acting.
Oh, and to be clear, I've never been in an at-fault accident.
How else could a dealer be "obligated" to fix the issue? Really only two options. Hint: keeping the customer happy is a small part of it.Where in my comment did I say anything about legal action?

Not perfect, but I've got enough common sense not to cause that much damage to a vehicle in a parking lot.Sorry we aren't all perfect like you.
And the dealer is giving him the option to fix the truck or make a deal on a new one. Other than the inconvenience what's the problem thenHow else could a dealer be "obligated" to fix the issue? Really only two options. Hint: keeping the customer happy is a small part of it.
And yes, if I were the dealer, I'd figure out how much I could get for the repaired truck, subtract that from my actual costs, and decide if I wanted to eat that cost to make up for one of my employees doing something stupid.
I bet the number is low enough that I'd do that if I were a decent person.
Dont know the reason but they are called "accidents" for a reason, otherwise they'd be called on purposesNot perfect, but I've got enough common sense not to cause that much damage to a vehicle in a parking lot.
Haven't since 2002. Knock on wood. Have taken plenty of evasion maneuvers to avoid them over the years though.accidents happen. its a part of life. Are you going to have a hissy fit when you get into an accident on the freeway? **** happens. Don't act like you have never gotten into an accident.
we all have.Haven't since 2002. Knock on wood. Have taken plenty of evasion maneuvers to avoid them over the years though.
If they're treating this like making a deal on any truck, they're wrong. If they do the right thing, it should cost the dealer and/or the OP little or nothing.And the dealer is giving him the option to fix the truck or make a deal on a new one. Other than the inconvenience what's the problem then
