- Lawyers are well aware of the issue and do not see a path to pursue a legal solution.
- Independent experts are well aware of the issue and are not motivated to participate in the legal process.
- More companies will see the IMSB situation as an opportunity for profit. Some will be trustworthy, some will not.
- With sellers, buyers, maintainers, and experts all aware of the issue, the market price of a used 986 has already adjusted for the perceived risk associated with Boxster ownership and the IMSB issue.
- The prices for used 996's have also adjusted accordingly.
- This situation is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future.

I agree with all but the 1st line.
I believe the LN IMSB is a permanent solution to the IMSB issue & the cost to implement the solution is offset by the depreciation the original issue caused if you are purchasing a 986/996 now.
