Hi,
I dunno - RMS is a real problem and one every owner should be concerned about. To do otherwise is to bury your head in the sand.
Multiple RMS issues are not unknown and while uncommon, are just short of that IMHO.
Does that mean you should not buy it? Maybe.
It depends upon how much you're willing to put up with in terms of downtime and maintenance expense.
Aftermarket Warranties are only good for those who need them - it's insurance. The only way they can stay in business is to have more Warranty revenue than Warranty liability (pay outs). This means that most people do not get their money back except for some very expensive peace of mind.
Were it me (and it is), I simply dedicate $1,200/yr. toward a maintenance fund. That way (one way or the other) I get 100% benefit for the monies I set aside.
I do all (or at least 95%) of my own work, I have the time, experience and the tools to do so. I can get by cheaper than many others can.
RMS doesn't worry me. If it occurs, I'll fix it - no choice. But, it does concern me. For the cost of these cars, for a manufacturer like Porsche to put out such POS engineering, and leaving it unaddressed for more than a decade is, IMHO, unconscionable.
But, as long as people keep buying these cars, there's really no reason for Porsche to do anything..
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
