Stick to your guns and get a replacement car, it's in no way acceptable IMO.

Funily enough I know someone who picked up a brand new mondeo the other day and one of the back doors has been resprayed. It's a shockingly different colour and flat aswell compared to the other panels.

You paid for brand new mate undamaged/repaired - that's what you should get, stick it to 'em

I used to work in the motor industry in sales, we used to get a lot of new vehicles with damage during transit to the dealership. They used to get a mobile body repairer out to fix the scuffs etc. How good was the PDI inspection if this was not found?.

Do not accept any bullsh*t from the dealer and demand a new car, best of luck

We are going over to the dealer tomorrow with the car we are going to stand our ground and go for a NEW car like we were supposed to get in the first place, i am going to reject the car on the grounds of it not being new and damaged/repaired, obviously they should be providing us with a coutesy car while this is being sorted, they have a wrx s like ours as a demonstrator do you think we should ask for that as a courtesy car ? like for like for the inconvinience!
Iam mighty pi##ed off

Went back to dealer this morning and showed them the car, they said they would offer me 3 years free servicing told them we wanted a brand new car like we ordered. New car now on order got to keep the original one until new one arrives, 10 days delivery time, will be going over that one with a fine tooth comb!
