I hope the guys from Whaletail & Nine Apart are part of this forum because they should be reading all this feedback. I will approach them with extreme caution and ensure all the details are in writing before I hand over a dime to either one of them. I plan on visiting them once the weather gets a little better as I rather deal with them in-person than over the phone or email.
Personally, is it really worth the effort for used - yes - USED parts at 50% of new and deal with maybe a shi7hy attitude 50% of the time or just buy OEM from the many vendors who offer a reasonable return policy without verbal backhands to your face?
I mean if it is a part that is out of stock because the age of the car or rare car part - yeah get that. But a late model part??? Really? You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to a junk yard - there I said it in relation to a Porsche part - before I would take their 'doing me a favor' attitude.

What part of junk yard do we not understand? Yes they sell Porsche parts - but they are still in the 'recycled' parts industry - an industry that does not have a great reputation as far as customer relations. Same when you Google that company whom I won't name whom had a reality show a little while go in LA.
