Class action would be a terrible thing.

Could you imagine Boxsters being worth more as scrap and for parts than as running vehicles? Try to sell one if the media really hyped up this issue. No doubt it is a very real problem, but what would our cars be worth after an Audi 5000 unintended acceleration style of media coverage? Remember the Pinto? What do you think of? How about the Corvair? The list goes on. The issue is real,yes, but the media would destroy any resale value of our cars.

Having your motor grenade would be unimaginable to deal with. It would have happened to my car if I hadn't have done my pre-purchase homework . I went in with my eyes open, having researched. Google for "Boxster engine problem " or "catastrophic engine failure". There's lots of info out there. Isn't everyone reading this post on a computer and on the Internet?

I hate to say buyer beware, but it'd the sad truth, and it's no consolation to anyone whose pristine low mileage car has just popped an engine.
