And sorry for my infrequent visits, it just gets me a bit down, I try to forget it. I'm not a wealthy guy in the grand scheme of things, saved up a long time for the Ferrari and now my dreams of exotic car ownership are down the toilet. I paid over $100k for the Porsche and it's worth about $50k. Thanks for the positive thoughts and kind words.

I said it earlier in the thread: those in business to retain customers know that customers are happier when they report a problem and you solve it in a first-class manner, than if they never had a problem to begin with.

Interesting BHP called this morning and offered $5k. It's not much but they know they've won so they probably didn't even need to do that. It will pay for the wrap (satin gray) and the wheels (satin black). Won't fix the roof or the long term paint issues but that's life. I'm tempted to accept just to be done with it and get on with the driving.

i think you're finally winning - they know they owe you, and it's just a matter of how much.
importantly, it doesn't make sense to take the first # they give you.
if nothing else, you should provide a counter - and i suggest a peculiarly odd #, (ie. $9,715) and tell them you will not budge.
p.s. you've heard the old joke about winston churchill - this applies to BHP as they're ready to pay, and it's just a matter of how much.

I would still drive it though the front door
Honestly, not sure what I would do. A bird in the hand yada yada but $5k doesn't come close to making it right. I do understand that you are tired of dealing with it though. Its real easy to sit here and say I would keep fighting..........If you can get past it then just take the $5k. I couldn't ever look at the car in a good way and I would just have to sell it and get something different. Maybe a 458

“Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?" Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!" Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”

Average them and subtract that number from what you paid. That's what my counter would be.
