Spotted this damaged brand new CGT (pix)...
spotted this CGT while picking up a car with my friend today at Pfaff. Heard the damage was done during transportation (this is a $60K CAD damage) and the owner refuse to take deliver..... I wonder who would

Hi Ken.....
Here's my take.....
I don't believe that this damage could have been done during transportation.
I really think that it is dealer handling damage....here's why......I've seen two CGT's come off the trucks that PCNA uses exclusively for this car and they all have elevators on the back and are as fussy as I have ever seen a truck driver in my almost two decades in this bizz.....so it couldn't have happened backing off a truck and grounding out...for example....which is exactly what it looks like.....or being backed into an immovable object by the truckers. I think their detailer or someone smacked a wall.
Anyways...ouch !!

I also heard this from my salesguy...teh first buyer walked and it has been sold to another buyer...at a great discount...apparently it was not tied down on the truck from the port.
