All I can report is what I see. What I see is between 10 and 20 percent.
That is not only false, but irresponsible. My dealership, the largest/bussiest in the state, has never seen one. I guarantee they sell and service considerably more Porsches than any independent shop. You only see vehicles needing service. At 10-20% that would mean over 100,000 IMS engine failures between 1997 and 2007 and that is crazy talk. On this forum, with a high percentage of used Boxsters, we don't have anywhere near 2% and these are Boxster's only. You sir are incorrect.
