And for those who may be wondering: I did NOT pick up my Magnitude last week as planned.
As noted, drove 12 hours to go and get her, hotel, fuel, etc. But the issue with the floor (and I mean in a very conspicuous spot right in the middle of the floor) was a deal breaker for me and I walked away.
A "tile" in the linoleum had been removed (supposedly due to a dent in the floor) and the repair was just going to be a major eyesore, probably would peel and curl in a few weeks, etc. That linoleum needs to be one solid sheet...once a "piece" of that solid sheet is removed, it will never be the same. At least in my world.
Dealer tried to have me take it by offering additional incentives but in the end they figured out I was not about to do so. It was shiny, clean, all opened up and ready for further inspections...and boy, that F550 is SWEET but my prudent side (and Gritz Carlton comment leading the way) said walk away. So I did. Was not easy. But best choice.
Ordered another and should arrive by around Thanksgiving. SWe are still most excited and other than the floor issue there were only very minor other issues during the rest of the walkthough. It is a great sized coach for two, the Ford F550 is super nice and the floorplan is not too big, not too small...just right.
Once I pick her up I shall report back.
