If there is a paint defect that impacts both, it suggests a multi-panel paint repair done on the car rather than after being disassembled. You finding that there was actually repair work done at the port after transport adds credibility to this theory.
Isn't the dealership required to disclose shipping damage or damage at the port if repair costs are more than $1,000? Thought I read that somewhere on here at some point over the years.
