RE: My $h!#y luck!
Sorry to hear about the bad luck my friend. I would insist on a downward pricing adjustment. It is not a new car if damaged after leaving the factory. The same rule applies as if the car was sitting on the dealers lot and got damaged in a hail storm. They MUST make a pricing adjustment for a damaged vehicle.
Don't take NO for an answer. D*** feather merchants will stick it to you if they can.
