Cactus,
The new owner is in Virginia and he just emailed me this morning and he said the dash has 3 cracks, one large and two small and the entire dash is warped. The car was shipped to him via a dependable auto shipper and the car sat in Denver for 13 days before being shipped (5 days) to VA. I'm just sick about the dash and I think he should ask for compensation to replace the dash!

What would have made the dash crack during transport?

The PO sent photos and the dash that is warped and the leather or vinyl cover is split in three places. I have a feeling that the sun (sitting in Denver for 13 days) did the most damage. Also the front Driver Side front chin spoiler is bent. Improper loading or unloading. The PO's insurance company told him that they would take care of amy claim that the Shipper will not pay for. That is good news.

Anyone know a good Porsche shop and auto uphostery shop around Virginia Beach, VA.?

It is so frustrating when you deal with a company that could care less about "your stuff". You would think an auto transport company would have a basic philosophy of treating the customer's cars with respect and concern!

I'm sure this will all work out, it's just time comsuming and frustrating.
