Took the car back to have the paint chip fixed. Originally, the saleman proposed that the paint chip be touched up, instead of having the whole panel re-painted. Of course, it was totally unacceptable to me. After about a month of scheduling, re-scheduling, and re-re-scheduling, I finally took the car in on Tuesday. The sales manager took care of the fix and provided me with a loaner car to drive. As I have discussed with him, the panel will be sanded down and repainted.
I pick up the car on Friday 11/11/04. The paint chip is fixed. The car now looks brand new...:-)
