- 2021 Supra Premium 3.0
- Thread starter
- #1
Picked up my new 2021 3.0 Premium in April with 20 miles on it after my test drive a few days earlier. I bought it at a dealer in Mt Laurel, NJ. Got it home to Allentown, PA in sunny, no precipitation weather. Started looking underneath the car when I saw quite a bit of white splatter inside the wheel wells. The further I looked, the more white deposits I found. Upon closer inspection it was salt - was so pissed I called teh dealer and wanted another car but they said this was something they couldn't control and would not take it back. I have 500 miles on it now and it never goes out in the rain.
Has anyone ever experienced this with their new car?? I can only assume it got hit pretty hard coming across the ocean with sea water - it is the only thing that makes sense to me. Paint is perfect but the mechanicals I have spent hours trying to clean ups. Exhaust was rusted but several of these items will be upgraded. anyway but still sticks in my craw.
Anybody with suggestion about salt neutralization techniques. I have made it much better but still have work to do. Nice way to introduce myself to my new Supra. Love the car but this is annoying as hell. Dealer sent me a check for $500 but not very satisfying. Am I complaining too much?
