Even though oxidation of the engine components is not a "quality" issue, GM is certainly responsible for the condition of the vehicle until it is delivered to the dealership. We have had cars show up crusted in salt and we bill GM for the paint treatment. It is not the dealers fault the car showed up that way but I'm with you, the condition of the vehicle is not up to par and I would refuse delivery as well. Sucks this dealer is acting sour and crying about it. It really isn't that big of a deal, these cars only have 5-6k worth of front end margin, not sure why they are being babies.
