When all the new cars have been PUNCHED as sold so the dealership can hit MPA or program money and you don't know that the warranty date has started on those cars and they did not use any of the money to add an extended warranty to them.
When the GM gets mad at a sales professional who's check is bigger than his. Considering with out that guy his check would be a lot smaller.

Pound Sand
I've found that some dealers will jump through hoops to assist a new vehicle customer with an issue to maintain a passing CSI from the manufacture, yet if it's a used vehicle customer, they're told to pound sand.
I suggest that dealers take the same approach with a used vehicle customer as a new vehicle customer. It only makes good business sense to monitor all customers satisfaction insuring a future service and purchasing opportunity...
Set the standards as high as the manufacture at minimum for both new and used....
Customers for life...
