Sorry for the delay. Received a check yesterday and in return I've agreed to stop saying bad things about BHP. But I drew the line at their request to make a statement saying we'd reached an amicable settlement

I took some pics of of the wrapped car, hope this link works. Let me know if not and I'll try another means.

From the pics the wrap looks very well done. Now get out there and enjoy that fine car! With the driving pleasure you will likely soon ignore the blemishes.

If any of you chaps are thinking of going into business for yourself, please read this entire thread on what not to do to grow your customer base.

Glad its finally over for you Lozzy. Happy driving.

I'd say the damage has already been done. I hope it will cause BHP to consider the situation differently if it should ever arise again.

Ah, so they were paying attention to the PR hit they have been taking. Good to know. An unlikely acknowledgment given their approach to resolving this conflict from the start. I have no reason to believe that they will treat the next person any differently, but at least you know that they did become concerned about the reputation they have created.

The GTS is a very special 911, I sincerely hope you enjoy yours to the fullest.

I just read the whole post, Sorry to hear about your experience Lozzy, not your fault at all. In the first few pages some tried to put blame on you for not going there or not doing enough, that is like telling a crime victim he/she is at fault for wearing a fancy watch or going out with a lot of cash etc. It is just ridiculous, PBH acted in bad faith, and they should have taken your car back right away, it surprised me that they did not.

I bought my 991 sight unseen from SC, the car got to Miami exactly as described, BTW my transport performed an inspection prior to boarding the car and called me because there was a scratch on the rubber spoiler lip and called me and asked me if he should still load the car.

Anyway, your ordeal is done, PBH will never be the same to us and now enjoy the car which is what is fun about the P car.

wow i just went through 52 pages after reading this makes me disgusted with BHP , those are kinds of dealers that should lose business from everyone and go bankrupt. they lied to u, gave u a car that needed a new paint job which decreases value in exchange they got ur ferrari f430 and made a quick sale.

PBH is trying to find the dollars to replace a 993 Turbo S they lost to theft now after their insurance denied their claim. What a cluster organization..

Time to ceremoniously burn that rear tag frame. No point giving these shysters free advertising.

Glad things worked out, at least in some way to your satisfaction.

Glad to hear this has at least been somewhat resolved. The wrap looks great.
