Glad everything worked out in the end, I can only imagine how stressful this must have been!
New car looks great, as did the first, but in a very different way. You can’t go wrong with a white RS.

Congrats and glad it all worked out!

How does one sum up this thread?
Leaving your Porsche to any detailer or tuner should one have to say, no test drives, ive been noting my mileage? Nothing i want to do, but do we have to? Perhaps!

some of my own bad experiences are:

I left my 993tt at a detailer (well known in sweden) came back with a big dent/tear in the front bumper, he said it was from before......

I know for sure Porsche Center Borås took my 993tt for joyriding, man that was irritating.

I think we just have to be more clear to who we leave it to, regardless of ones previous relations to the business.

A few more things...

1. Want to thank Burt at Merit Partners for his professionalism with the new car. Super helpful, great guy, car came as expected and he worked with me given my situation. If you are in the market or ever looking to sell those guys are absolute pros and a great buying experience.

2. Insurance numbers, happy to share once the check clears. Biggest surprise, salvage value and just how expensive these are to fix.. ... both of these helped to total.

Great to hear the outcome. As others said I do not think I would have been this patient. Glad it worked out.
