IMO, currently the crowd the 986 ( and old porsches in general ) attract is primarily gear head / weekend driving event enthusiast / and Porsche addicts.
Now that the price of your average 986 is already way cheaper than a brand new Honda Civic! The average "bling" crowd .. meaning the soccer mom, mid life crisis doodes .. has mostly moved onto newer, "better" show off rides .. like the 987 or 997. This bling crowd is the crowd that will potentially let these IMS horror story scare them away.
Replacing them is the new crop of teen drivers who wants a 'Porsche drop top' to show off instead of buying that fiscally responsible Civic. This is the crowd that will make up their mind after perhaps glancing at ONE post out of an entire thread. If the IMS issues also scares this crowd away when I want to sell my car, honestly I'm fine with that.
The primarily gear head / weekend driving event enthusiast / and Porsche addicts crowd will be the one buying my car be able to appreciate it much more.
My 2c.
