Default paint peeling off front end....

Got my 2005 997S back in June 2010 from McKenna Porsche in Norwalk, CA.
We've recently had some badass rain the last 7 days. My P-Car is a DD and this morning I noticed paint peeling off the nose....
I left a voicemail to my salesman at McKenna saying call me when its convenient for me to drop off my car for a respray.

WTF !!!

yes.
I bought it POS (Pre-Owned-Certified)
I knew the front end was a respray when I bought it.
I just did'nt expect it to peel.

This reminds me of the time I bought a new BMW 7 series from McKenna in Norwalk. I bought the car at night and the car seemed fine. I look at the car the next morning and noticed a paint drip on the front fender and the hood was ajar. The car obviously had some body work done to it. I asked the salesman when buying the car about any body/paint work and he says “of course not”. I take the car back the next morning and the service manager says same thing “no body/paint work done to the car” and that he has seen worse from the factory. I had other issues that would suggest car was involved in accident. After several calls to the owner Danny (none returned) and several return visits back to the dealer the problems were fixed and I just let it go. Not the best customer service from this dealer.
