I didnt read the entire thread, but where I read the 10 year limitation indicated that the IMSB or engine repair must have occured before the car reached 10 service years and 138,000 miles.

For example my car is a 2002 and I just replaced the IMSB I am not eligible because the expense has been incurred more than 10 years after the car has been in service. Had I repaired the car last year I would be a class member. It appears that the judgement states if you got 10 years or 138,000 problem free miles then you are not getting anything, but if you repaired your car or experienced a failure within that period you are due compensation.

This is fair given car manufacturers typically extend warranty's to 100K miles or 7-10 years when a problem such as this is found. Honda did this for my 2001 Accord transmission (replaced 3x), the old BMW E46 M3 problem, and BMW 335 problem.

I'm suing Columbia House Records for defrauding me of albums when I was a teenager if anyone is interested.

All this does is to underline the point that all modern Porsches are not be owned for more than 100K miles or you will A) have to be prepared to spend an outrageous sum of money and B) lose nearly all of the value of the car as it approaches that 100K marker.

Which makes the Koreans, also builders of mass produced cars like Porsche, total geniuses for offering 10 year warranties on cars that cost 1/5 the price of Porsche. Err why are people paying the Porsche premium again?

Think about it. It will be easier to sell 20 year old Sonata than it will be sell a 20 year old Carrera. Whose engineering was better given that neither is a racing car nor has a racing engine?

I'm in, as long as it will apply to my 8-track tapes as well. I've noticed lately that the sound quality on many of them is starting to degrade rather severely. I've also had a couple of internal magnetic spindle failures resulting in several miles of tape wrapping itself around every moving part in my quadraphonic deck. Someone needs to be held accountable!

So is this the secret decoder ring for IMS issues?

This is the list of VIN's that can make claims:

• Model year 2001 - 2005 Porsche Boxster vehicles manufactured with an IMS between May 4, 2001 and February 21, 2005 with VINs in the following ranges:

o WP0CA29851S620508 - WP0CA29831S620619

o WP0CB29811S660405 - WP0CB29801S660492

o WP0CA29821U625959 - WP0CA29891U627644

o WP0CB29861U664289 - WP0CB29841U665473

o WP0CA29892S620061 - WP0CA29802S620238

o WP0CA29832U620061 - WP0CA29892U626107

o WP0CB29802U660062 - WP0CB29892U664319

....etc., there's long list in the settlement details

What did they put into the Porsches whose VIN's aren't listed?
