It is not my side of the story - I am not involved and do not have a side. There is a lot more to this situation than what you had expressed which is why I added those details.

Yes, every company has upset customers but in the end it comes down to how you manage them and rectify the situation. Many would argue - including the guy who had given them more than a million dollars - that in this case Koenigsegg dropped the ball. In fact they dropped it so badly that they were forced to buy the car back from him and pay to keep him quiet about it. Then several months later they violated that agreement on another forum by trying to put words in the former owner's mouth and suggest that he had been perfectly happy. Really poor form no matter who you are dealing with but a big mistake on their part as he unleashed a tirade on them in return.

And sure - bring McLaren into it. Hate to tell you but I am not McLaren. I do not make their business decisions and any stories that may be in circulation about happy or unhappy customers has zero bearing on what went down between Koenigsegg and their dissatisfied customer.

If the paint on the side of your brand new Agera R looked like this when it arrived, tell me, would you be pleased??

Are you sure that only a spoiled child would have reason to complain about that? Seriously??

The paint is not what why everybody on that and other forums called the person a spoiled baby with money. The paint was solved by koenigsegg with no extra charge. Its not a big issue. Shit happens during transport.... I can point you out a handfull of cases were they did alot more then just put words in the buyer hands and tried to silence him. And from what i know it was exacly the oposite. And even the fact the the person in cause is a moderator in the forum was not enought to him get away from changing posts later. He was disaproved by everybody on the forum for pushing his position. You should set your facts straight. I just brought mclaren to the discussion because what they are doing in the middle east is far more worse than what happened between this costumer and koenigsegg and also to give you an exemple of what happens some times. Shit happens you know..... But sometimes neither the brand or the costumer can control unespected situations.

I just read up on the thread in discussion. Pretty crazy and we obviously don't know all the facts. This has been ongoing for years, and we all know how bad an unhappy customer can be.

I would say if there are many more owners out there with similar experiences, we could all agree something is up. But I won't make that judgement from a single owner.


On another note, why does the black paint in that picture look like painters tape was used to mask it. On the far right side of the picture, the black has a straight line where it should be curving. And how does the paint bubble like that within days?

That was Koenigsegg's claim - I struggle to see how that condition happens in transport, but I am sure exRockstar will explain it for us.

Maybe a full forensic CSI-style report can help

I wasn't talking about the scratches in the carbon fiber in a separate area of the car. I was talking about the damage to the paint on the side of the front clamshell shown in that photo.

Let's review...

LA Artist writes: "Um is that really transport damage on that picture, looks like a bad paint job to me."

You reply with: "Yep, but the car had scratches aswell on the roof."

Now - what else could "Yep" be referring to than a confirmation to LA Artist that the paint damage shown in that photo happened in transport? I'm just hoping you can provide an explanation as to how that occurred since you are so sure that is what happened. If you need to draw pictures in order to explain yourself, then be my guest.
