i worked at a tdealer for 2 years, and i have to tell you that more vehicles
are damaged on the lot than you'd ever think. in 2 years about 250 vehicles
were damaged on the dealership lot that i worked at...i kept a checklist in
my "cabinet" AND the will NEVER tell you about the damage if you don't
notice it b4 delivery. At least that's what they did at the dealer i worked
at.
