The problem with this question is that its being asked out of context. OP refused at least 2 cars after special ordering them and want the dealership to take the loss. Dealership offer to fix any defects but OP refused and demand to order another car.

If I order a new $90K car and it comes in needing paint I'm not accepting it either. That's on GM and the dealer to work out.

Sure you dont have to but its not the dealers fault and because of the multiple refusals he was denied from ordering more cars which resulted him in attempting to smear the dealerships good name

The dealer should have worked this out with GM IF the goods were damaged (especially if it happened more then once) and not try to pass it on to its customers as a new car..

Standard business practice to fire a customer like this than continue doing business

So you are saying the dealership should just keep ordering cars till a perfect one comes out? In the mean time dealing with gm on multiple cars most likely resulting in losing allocations. Not all customers are that **** and will accept a repaint. Let me ask you this. What is stopping the dealership from repainting it before showing it to OP?

Bondojohn;
Accept with specific conditions:
1) No carfax report.
2) No other imperfections ie. interior or exterior.
3) A legal written agreement/rider that will extent the paint warranty as it pertains to this repair, above and beyond the factory warranty.
Please note: All automotive dealerships are tasked with fixing/repairing their inventory for sale? There are a whole host of reasons why new cars are damage, and are sometimes beyond the dealerships control. ie. transportation, manufacturing, quality controls, snow plows(LOL), and negligent handling by employees.
In actuality, I think you may be surprised on how many brand new cars sold today that have had dealership repairs- without disclosing to the customer?
Issue of Quality: We all have seen cars in custom car shows, were the paint quality exceeds and/or matches many factory finish?
Many thanks,
Ray

I used to be an insurance adjuster and we had an office at the local MB dealer. You'd be shocked how many cars went from the delivery truck to the body shop then out on the lot!

Its a known issue that there is paint issues with gm. There is nothing one dealership is going to say to fix it. The issue at hand was op is blaming the dealership for firing him

This tread is not good as too many unknowns... If all things are true per OP, I would not take the car either, why would I?? The dealer and GM should find out why they are getting damaged cars, where is the QA???. Again, I would NOT take a "new" car that is damaged or needs paint. Do you think Porsche, BMW or even Kia would do this (get a damaged car and try to sell it to the customer)???

I'm surprised the dealer took an order and didn't require the buyer to make a deposit. After this fiasco, I'm certain they will make it a dealer policy, you order a car, a non-refundable deposit will be required.

Not BS, I had it happen to me. I bought a used Camaro years ago that was inspected meticulously by myself and a good shop. No evidence of any prior body work then or after owning it for 9 yrs/80k miles. But by year 5, the right rear quarter panel had faded to a distinctly different color plus blending into the door, even though the car was garaged.
Other cars that I knew had some repaint stayed perfect, but you won’t know about a problem until too late to get your money back.

Was it two small pinholes on a torch red door? How close to fender/ quarter? If in the middle should be no problem, BUT the clear being two coats to the edge might change the hue a little BUT the big thing would bring getting the orange peel to match!
