taken from another forum:

From what I was told, to perform this recall on his 2003 350Z, the rear suspension and fuel tank needed to be removed. Well, when they put his car on the lift to perform this service I guess they didn't take into account the laws of physics and well... GRAVITY!







So, after the rear wheels, rear suspension and fuel tank were removed, it became a bit FRONT HEAVY and THIS is the end result





wait for it...

Long story short, the dealership = and they are now buying it back from him and he's getting an IS350 And I don't care WHO are you, there is NO fucking excuse for this shit.

it's an '03. They offered him an '04 with comparable miles and he was like "I bought the car with THREE miles on it so I know what my car has been though. I don't want some car that's probably been beat to hell for the last 2 years, so no." Which led to a "deal on an '06" Still no.

He WANTED an IS350 anyway and I guess this AutoWay dealer also owns a Lexus dealership. So, from what I was told, they are gonna pay him a couple grand over the retail on it, which works out to be about 1/2 the price of the 06 IS350 that he's ordering. Worked out well for him

You know, as awful as that is... the dealership really didn't have to do anything other than repair the car... at least they did something. ... :buck2:

ehh not really. It opens up a can of worms because repairing the car doent make it even...you need to pay them for the loss of value to the car after being repaired. Would you buy a car that had fallen off the lift and most likley had frame damage....the cars not meant to be hit that way. The dealership made out by selling him another car from their dealership...theyll fix this car and resell it and prbably make a ton of money from the deal still
