Yes I have seen that before, they use to paint all panels and bumpers together in paint shop now I believe bumper covers are painted at different times. I have vehicle that side trim looks that way in certain light. Does it look that bad in sun light?
well.
couple different ways to go about this - but my initial thought is that when I've bought using the supplier discount, I already knew the price they were supposed to charge before I went in - there's a supplier website that allows you to build a vehicle or find one in inventory and it shows the supplier price. going to go out on a limb and guess the OP didn't go that route.
My opinion - it's their error and they should just eat the difference. Hopefully there aren't any emails/texts that cloud the situation as sometimes the acronyms can be misleading - as in a lot of people throw around "GMS" for both programs

That paint match looks terrible. Completely unacceptable for a vehicle at this price point

You couldn't see this when you picked it up? I'm not saying they shouldn't make it right....but you have a heck of a lot more leverage before you exchange funds. I looked mine over for a good half hour inside and out before I went inside to do any paperwork....

Agreed. The door guards on my 2010 have discolored a bit but the front/rear bumper covers are a perfect match.
If you financed through the dealer (which I think you did to receive all of those incentives) it seems they have 10 days to "finalize" the contract and can legally rescind it within that time frame.

If you self-financed tell the dealer to pound sand. They were already paid.
And no, if you sign a new contract for $2500 more they won't care about giving you any incentives like free oil changes unless that's their standard contract item. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
Used car dealers use this scam all of the time. They want "to get you into your new car today" and will do anything to do that so you sign the contract, drive it home, get attached to your new hoopty, and want to marry it. Then a few days later (they have 10 days), after the wedding, they say your financing didn't go through and you'll have to sign a new, more costly contract to keep your new spouse.
