Of course they are outlined in the contract. In fact I have a copy in front of me. If the dealer choses to live by the letter of the law it is excessive wear and tear as stated which includes:
Inoperative electrical or mechanical parts
dented, scratched, chipped, rusted, pitted, broken or mismatched body parts/paint, trim or grill work
non-functioning, scratched, cracked, pitted or broken glass or lights
missing equipment, parts, accessories
torn, damaged, burned or stained interior
.....and the last three are extreme and I am tired of typing!
Again, if you were to trade a vehicle with these types of damages it will be deducted from your trade in value. I have appraised many vehicles. The dealer has to account for these damages and get them fixed to resell it. If you believe that the dealer is eating the damage you are only kidding yourself but this may help you sleep better at night.
Again, you will pay either way!
