When Used-Car Transport Companies Deliver Your New Car...
This is what can happen. These photographs taken in Lansing, Michigan just a couple of weeks ago illustrate what can happen when auto makers start hiring cut-rate companies to deliver new cars, many of which used to only deliver used cars to junkyards and dealers.
This brand-new $60,000 Cadillac CTS Sports Wagon was tied to a car carrier by threading straps through the tire rims and wheel spokes. "This is completely unprofessional and dangerous," said Troy Hinman, an 8-year car haul professional. "You cannot tie down cars like that. This can cause structural damage to tires, axles, and the suspension, and I don't think new car buyers should accept their cars if they were delivered like this."
You may want to ask your dealer who is delivering their cars. If they can't give you a straight answer, you might want to think twice about who you're buying from.
