I know this doesn't have anything to do with an S2000, but it does have to do with Honda. I wanted to get some quick, well-rounded answers so please don't move it (yet).
My buddy purchased an Acura TL-S and is getting the runaround from AHM. Here's the details below, let me know what you think.
-What do you guys think is a fair solution?
-What would you guys do?
-He's already contacted BBB (this dealership has a history of unsatisfactory "issues" with them).
-----------------------------------------------
Horrible ownership experience
I purchased a new TL-S for my fianc

Jesus! Get a lawyer! Why even hesitate. He is getting the run around. Immediately get a lawyer. His is loosing countless dollars on re-sale value. He is right about the california law. USE IT. The money you spend on a lawyer will be worth it. It will probably be less than that lost in re-sale, PLUS the ability to sleep better at night knowing you aren't taking it in the a** from AHM! If I seem bitter it's only because the same thing happened to me with Volkswagen of America. It wasn't a previous damage issue, but simply the dealer/manufacturer failing to take any responsibility. Good luck.

Here are some of the pics. I know they aren't that great. There are small dots & holes in the paint job. The trunk is also misaligned where the right side is higher than the left.

BMW lost a lawsuit on this several years ago to the tune of $4million on one car. A judge knocked the award down to $2million. All over $4000 in paint.

He noticed the paint issue nine months after purchase. Print this, bring this to the dealership and you'll get your car.
