Why do dealers "punch the clock" ?

[deutsch100]

We have purchased 4 new BMW from Hamlet Shahverdian at Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas, CA & also recommended to a "forum friend" on my 7 Series Board who purchased a new 7 Series from him & my best friend bought her X3 3.0si from him. He has been with BMW for over 15 years and is awesome. Friendly, ZERO pressure, funny, was a BMW mechanic for like 20 years...so is very informed, reliable, honest and just a great guy. Highly recommended!

The only confirmation I had was the warranty declaration page that the dealer sent me to sign. It stated an in service date of 11/30, warranty expiration of 2/28/2015 and 55,000 miles. Since I didn't buy the car, I had no way of confirming with BMW that the warranty was, in fact, extended.

I've found a similarly equipped X5 at Sonnen BMW in the bay area. They've been fantastic. There was no warranty declaration page in their paper work because it's not a demo, they haven't "punched the clock" on it.

Might be worth checking the back story, the trolling, and the threads that had to be locked due to GAM30VR. He is not a contributor, but just hasn't got to the point of being banned yet.

Ahh, that makes more sense...was going to say that was way out of line as well, but given it was directed to GAM30VR, makes sense now....funny, all the forums have their "haters" that cant let it go....
