Hi! I and my wife together with our 11 year old and a baby girl went to Raymond Chevrolet in Antioch IL after being bugged for the longest time by a telephone marketer since last year. We have always had the eye for the Traverse but thought we could not afford it. But, we were given a very good offer for a used LT '09 and unexpectedly took it home last Saturday. In my country-of-origin, I had a white Sentra, Civic, and a Corolla. I also had a white with red stripes color schemed sport bike. Since I got here in the US, I got a white Dodge Avenger and then now got a white Traverse for the wife and growing family. Although it is not intentional, for some reason, I always end up with white vehicles. Although we are Asians, I and my wife decided to get American cars so we can help Uncle Sam.
We've been making excuses to ourselves to ride it because we enjoy how smooth the ride is and all its conveniences. Our only concerns are: the button to open the lid on the center console was missing. We found some scratches on the interior plastics, some stains on the upholstery, and nasty wide scratches on a hubcover. We did not notice them when we checked out the unit because because it was already dark.
As you know, having a white car is a little bit more challenging. In my country-of-origin, there was a company who applies a chemical on the outer shell to protect the paint. Is there a similar service here? Or, Would I need it? What are your suggestions?
How about underneath rust-proofing, is there an available service here too?
