The car we picked out was in super good shape and as described. However, upon delivery, we noticed that the DETAILING, or lack thereof was grossly wanting. Here are just a few of the SLOPPY details that were left for US to address:
- A sticker from a former car lot was still affixed to the back of the car bumper "CARMAX".
- The alloy wheels had NOT been properly cleaned and had all kinds of residue and road grime still gunking up the otherwise very well preserved unscratched wheels.
- The engine compartment was really nasty and, most likely, UNCLEANED, not even a little.
- The positive post on the battery had quite a bit of oxidized battery acid "growing" off it in crystalline shapes.
- The areas around the hood, trunk, gas cap area, and doors, the interior edges were really quite untouched, and "scummed up" with very old buildup.
NOTE: We bought this car as a graduation present to give to my daughter as she prepares for college, and we had to stop back by my house to detail and spot clean the car, just so we could feel OK giving it to her later that evening at a family gathering.
Overall- the whole experience was quite excellent- EXCEPT FOR THE LACK OF DETAILING described above.
