Dealership dropped something in cylinder head during spark plug replacement

I must, I must, stay away from this thread but somehow.........I just can’t look away.

 

Which detective shall we measure?

Like watching 2 fat girls beat the crap out of each other, outside a bar, because they're both pregnant from the same toothless redneck.

 

Yep. LOL

 

This is hilarious, I think I saw that on TV or YouTube.

Are you sure your not the crazy ex girlfriend lol

 

Probably in some legal mess right now which is why he’s not posting

 

My guess is they’re going to offer him a new Prius since they can’t sell them to anyone.

 

You did! It’s called jerry springer

 

Ok ok. I only got this settled last Tuesday. Props to the reddit doxing.

The outcome for me was as follows. I'm not stoked but I guess it worked out ok.

They were willing to give me the low end of the replacement value of the truck (but way above kbb or private party sale), which was taken from list TCPO prices of available similar inventory in the market and they said they'd need to go to insurance for any higher and who knows how that would end up. Maybe I got played there, maybe not. Seemed close to making me whole.

I did need a new car so I asked them to take take that amount as a trade in and sell me a RAV4 hybrid at invoice less holdback, which they obliged.

So now I've got a new family car and no Tacoma. I'll have to put this account on hold until I get my treads back.

Thanks again to everyone who helped. Sorry for the long pause as I waited for the deal to close. Also, excuse my hesitation in not publishing full vin, the open internet weirds me out.

 

I guess congrats. Not quite sure you made out on that, but at least its over.

 

Since OP does not want the full vin posted I won't post the carfax report.
On 5/20/19 (day before this topic was started) a carfax report was created by a dealer
Maintenance inspection completed
Front brake pads replaced
Rear brakes serviced/adjusted
Oil and filter changed
Tires rotated
Maintenance reminder reset
Fluids checked
Tire condition and pressure checked
Brakes checked
Engine checked
Battery replaced

No mention of the issue in the report or the for sale add.

 

I think "engine checked" is sufficient

As long as you are happy that is all that matters.

And this is why you never trust the dealer records on a vehicle
