Furthermore, for anyone else considering cheap E-bay mounts I would not recommend it for obvious reasons, and they really were not that much cheaper, btw they are or were advertised as OEM.
Kudos for admitting his warranty doesnt cover the engine falling out, passing the buck and shrugging?

Furthermore, anyone considering doing business with this guy after learning how he does business, should have their head examined.

OE and OEM are not the same things.

For a couple of hundred bucks you could have a customer that raves about the support he received from this dealer, and most likely recommend this dealer to friends & family, in the end, the dealer will pass the buck -

I find it ironic that the mounts failed so quickly after they were installed - hell, if I was the dealer I would utterly embarrassed that I bought parts for a car and they failed with 2 weeks after installation - The DEALER picked the parts supplier - why? Because it was probably the cheapest mounts he could find -

Don't buy el-cheapo any parts for your Porsche, you get what you pay for.

Small questions if I may
So the two rear engine mounts are needing to be replaced ..... should the third "front" between the transmission and transmission crossmember be also changed in " good measure " so all are new.... or would the third one be an extreme pain to replace ? Insight always always appreciated.

Wow, new motor mounts will really tighten things up! Usually the transmission mount is in much better condition and doesn't need to be replaced with the same frequency as the motor mounts, but you'll have to inspect to ensure their condition.

I’ve all 3 in good used condition for sale.

the transmission one has to be pressed out. May be tough with transmission in the car.
