Thats what happens when you smack up a brand new model within 3 months of its release and its an import and then a dealer that drops the ball. and it is an insurance job as well...its not the vans fault, just a series of human errors...

It's not human error that all the parts had to come from Germany, it's bad business! The new model thing is no excuse. Once a new body style is finalized, there's no reason that they can't begin stocking warehouses over here with parts. This should have been a week to 10 day deal.

Yeah but the dealer messed up big time..only ordered some parts and not others...every screwup cost another 10-14 days...
