Echo: post pics please. Welcome to the forum. You found this place pretty fast. It took me three months, and wanting answers to a Stinger question, then I saw this place immediately with a Google search.

Get that dealer crap off the back of your car a.s.a.p. Going to have to give you 25,000 demerit points for driving off the lot like that.

I was just telling my wife I need to get that crap off....now, the sticker was not on when I drove it, sneaky detail guy stuck it on while I was signing paperwork.....

question - is that protective film still on the trim over the doors, or just a 2020 model detail?

Ford Mustang GT, last week I came home with an STI on trial, I thought I wanted it but I HATED the car and talked the dealer into trading it for the Stinger after I read up on them and drove one, I had a completely skewed perception of Kia’s but I’m a believer now!

Yes, they did a very quick job detailing it and left all the protective film on in a few spots, I think they just wanted me gone, I changed my mind a couple times and didn’t put up with them trying to push me for additional warranties as well as I pushed very hard for the best price I could get, honestly wasn’t the greatest dealership experience but I got the car I wanted and feel I got a decent deal.

 

[RedCal]

Ah! makes sense, most car sales experiences are not great, so if you got a deal you are happy with that's what really counts

In twenty-six months of owning and driving a Stinger, I've only ever seen ONE HiChroma Red out on the road.

Where in Canada are you located? I am in the Abbotsford, Vancouver, and Oliver area in BC pretty often for work, I love it up there

Dealer crap removed!! Now I need to give it a good detail and get the leftover adhesive off, can anyone explain the ceramic coating I keep hearing about for the paint?
