… at some the stuff that goes on before a customer gets a car and they never know about it.
I have inspected vehicles which are being sold by the original owner where I have found evidence of body filler and paint not from the factory.
The owner swears that he never had the car repaired, so he must have purchased it like that.
This has happened at least 3 times.
Either the dealer damaged it or even before the dealer took delivery, at the port.
Most of that damage gets fixed and is never reported.
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro

Many years ago, I knew a guy who worked in paint group of the Subaru plant in Lafayette, IN. He said it was common for cars to get dinged / scratched in the lot after they came off the line and before they got loaded onto transport (or as they were being loaded). Those cars were brought back in and reworked.
I think we as owners have dreams of our cars being perfect little angels when they get delivered (or acquired used) if they look good, but variation and rework is part of almost every manufacturing process. Of course, that doesn't apply to mine .

"The dealers told Veldhuijzen that the car actually sustained minimal damage (another big rear-engine advantage, people: much better recovery from rolling forwards into a lake) and the car will be prepared for delivery."
ouch! if that were my car there's no way i would accept it. i wonder if the owner will even know about this. i'm guessing that with social media et al that he will but sheesh!!!

The water is less than 18" deep at that spot. Wet radiators.
Plus scraping damage.
Not a huge deal.
