Seriously though.....

I feel bad for this guy (based on what I read quickly) but we don't know the whole story which is where the truth lies. Regardless, based on what I read I don't think he's entitled to a nickel. If his "case" wasn't compelling enough for Porsche to good will a new engine then there is a reason. I've read postings from Boxster owners who, well out of warranty, have gotten an engine good willed to them (even 2nd owners).

Bottom line.... lot's of cars have lot's of problems. Many less problems than they did 10yrs ago let alone 20..... It's called progress. Unless it's a safety defect possibly affecting a person's life, then there's absolutely no reasonable responsibility for the mfg. If I were in his shoes, I'd hope Porsche would help me out, but I would certainly have no expectations of them doing so.

A friend who wasn't able to get a new engine good willed to them once told me: "If your biggest complaint all day is that you have a blown motor in your Porsche.... then you really have nothing to complain about" Couldn't have said it better myself.
