Robb411,
Don't feel totally bad about the situation. All dealers suck. Maybe a generalization but I found out that they can not be trusted. For example, Pinnacle Infiniti sold me a car on a Monday that 1. they did not have possession of from another dealer and 2. tried to switch cars with out telling me, except for the financing manager already processed the paper work on Monday and I already had the first cars Vin number which I gave to my insurance company. As the story unwinds I find out later when I have to re-sign everything and realized that the VIN number was different. I thought that was shady. Then when I went outside to look at the car that was on the lot it only had half of the aero kit and was missing the front chin spoiler. Of course they played dumb to noticing that. I actually found that out prior to knowing that they switched cars. I know the one I was supposed to get came complete. So after much haggle, they promised me the chin spoiler. Two weeks later and I had to pester them three times to get it, it is finally in the shop today to get it on. About an hour ago the service guy called and told me that they installed it but found that the clips that hold the middle on were missing so they need it for another day until the clips get there by the morning. But let me tell you that they lied their ass off about ordering the right parts then ordering the aero package and not the kit. As it turned out the car is actually the first one I test drove from the another dealers lot. That dealer didn't want to deal on the price but the other dealer did. I found out I got the original car I test drove later that night when I was looking through the glove box and found the other dealers windows sticker and some advertising material. A bunch of no good dirty bastards that will lie, cheat and tell you anything.
Dude, if it ain't one thing then it is something else. As far as my rear spoiler goes, it was installed aftermarket, I have the third break light in the rear window, disconnected of course, but mine looks like the picture in the top view. Also I have metal shavings falling out of my trunk lid from the lid being drilled. You can hear them in the lid if you open it. It is getting quieter now since most of the shavings have worked their way back out.
Currently I'm driving around a 2003 I35 loaner and this thing sucks. It only has 20,000 miles on it , the inside and outside definately looks beat. The headlight lens have a hazing or film over them and the stupid rear window screen malfunctions.
Let me tell you what, I'm not impressed with their service. To top it off while I was waiting for my loaner, which took twenty minutes to get, I over heard one of the service reps giving some guy a hard time on the phone because he wanted Infiniti to look some rust on his car and the Service Rep was feeding the guy a load of crap. So the rep tells the guy he has to find out the schedule to get him in, put the guy on hold, slams the phone down, runs over to the receptionist and chews her a$$ off for the call and then goes back and tells the guy to bring the car in at 10 on Saturday, all without every looking at a schedule or checking with anybody. If I wasn't there I wouldn't believe it.
To top this all off, my sales man calls a half hour ago and asks me if I like the car but is more interested if I got the damn survey and if I filled it out yet. "Remember all excellents..." Yeah, I'll remember - I was purposely holding off on ever filling this out until they finished the transaction.
But back to your situation, yeah it sucks. If you paid for something then damn it you better get what you paid for. That was basically the whole jist of my story above. I paid for a car with certain options then don't be jamming something else down my throat and selling it for like.
I would definately bitch about it. Hell that is three hundred that you can buy something else with. If I were you I would run this up the line as far as you can go. Take it to the top level of Infiniti Corporate if you have to.
