How about this.... Your dealer has seen 1 or 2. Now call other dealers and indies to see how many they have seen and get an average between them(hopefully alot of zero's). As of last month, some private research was done (and is ongoing) to see how many indies ( that service/repair Porsche's, though not 987/997 specific) and Porsche dealer/service there are. I can tell you the number exceeded well over 20,000 "Porsche" related repair facilities. I am not privy to the whole report yet, so I do not have the complete details, just a few numbers.
No.... this is not for any class action lawsuit.
So if just your dealer has seen 1 or 2 how many other dealers/indies have seen 1 or 2.... more or less etc. Then do the math.....
Also, there were just a little over 194,000 Porsches sold in the USA alone between 1997 and 2009, I wonder how many survived?
