i am a bit on the fence with this one. if you buy a loaner car, you should expect some things wrong with it, including chips and scratches and dings. it is a used car, hence the better price. so the fact they are going to fix everything including the scratches 'and take care of it' in my opinion goes above and beyond, in an attempt to satisfy the customer. hence, like in any give and take relationship, them having the car for an extended period while not ideal, could be tolerable.
however, if the car was brand spanking new, i think some frustration for such a long delay would be truly justifiable. a loaner car, is still not your car, and putting 'miles and wear and tear' on someone elses car is less important to me personally than driving MY car.
kinda like when i priceline to get a cheaper four or five star hotel, i expect to get the room overlooking the parking lot, and cannot really complain about it. :tongue:
