The vehicle that you purchased is greatly discounted compared to purchasing a Japanese vehicle from a local dealer near you and therefore there are some tradeoffs for this discount as defined below. Buying from a OEM dealer, you are purchasing a legacy brand, but it is very expensive, and aftermarket parts are VERY expensive. The unassembled crated vehicles, when shipped, are well protected with a crate. However, as adults, we are all aware of the work ethic in the USA and people in freight logistics companies can be careless with handling products.
These are not Jaguar Powersports employees, and we have no control over these people and companies. If you are getting a crated unassembled vehicle shipped by an 18-wheeler trucking company, then Jaguar Powersports accepts no responsibility for damage that occurs during transit, and this damage is not covered under our warranty. We strongly advise against getting your vehicle shipped unassembled in a crate due to the factors above. There is a high chance, perhaps 10 to 20% or so, that your vehicle will receive some damage in transit shipped in a crate. We recommend that either you pick up the crated vehicle at one of our warehouses or we ship the vehicle to you assembled by a car hauler. In the event that you choose to have your vehicle shipped crated, you are accepting responsibility for any repairs needed from shipping damage. Jaguar Powersports will work diligently to provide replacement parts for any broken or non-usable components.
If you choose crate by freight, you are agreeing to have your product shipped under these conditions, knowing there may be minor scratches to the paint in some areas or other relatively minor cosmetic damage. You are agreeing, in exchange for the greatly discounted price, that you will locate matching paint and repair any minor scratches yourself to your satisfaction or use as is. Thus, minor scuffs and scratches are not covered under the Jaguar Powersports warranty.
With the exception of a vehicle which is damaged so badly in transition that it is a total loss, you are agreeing to take possession of unassembled crated vehicles shipped by 18-wheeler trucking companies regardless of damage and to work with Jaguar Powersports to repair any damage. In the event of a vehicle damaged so significantly to be a total loss, you are required to contact Jaguar Powersports immediately, while the trucking company is at your location, and send us pictures. If we agree that it is a total loss, you are to refuse the shipment, take pictures, and we will file a claim together for replacement of the vehicle by the trucking company.
In regards to assembled vehicles shipped by a car hauler, Jaguar Powersports goes to great lengths to ensure that there is no cosmetic damage, and you understand that over 99.5% of our assembled vehicles are delivered void of any cosmetic damage to plastics or other non-paintable components. However, some small percent of vehicles may have some very cosmetic damage. In the unlikely event of cosmetic damage of this nature, you are agreeing to either repair it yourself or live with the product as delivered in exchange for purchasing a greatly discounted product compared to purchasing a Japanese made vehicle from a dealer near you. In the unlikely event of a minor cut in a seat, you agree to repair it with a repair kit that can be purchased for a few dollars via an online search.
