    Very, Very sorry to hear about this.
    This is not the first, second or third time this has happened
    at this dealer. There have been other customers cars damaged
    in the past. It is documented on Rennlist and Pelican.

    You can file a loss of value with most insurance companies...and they are liable. How do I know? I've worked in Management for dealers for 30 years. This isn't my first rodeo. You need to take issue with this like a Bull Dog and don't let go of the stick. The only curve ball in the scenerio is the lease.
