[Shotimes] Re: (OT) Cars damaged during a test drive?

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

But think of it this way: if you bought a brand new car and found
out the windshield had already been repaired, wouldn't you be
slightly miffed and take the car back for another one, or to get
the entire windshield replaced?  I would.  I'm sure that's what the
dealership was trying to avoid.

And I've had a windshield chip replaced before.  It is slightly
noticable.  And depending on its position on the glass, might not be
repairable at all.  If it's anywhere near the drivers line of sight,
most places won't fix it.

And I do agree that the insurance company should be responsible.
