Ouch, IMS failure on Ebay

Too bad this sweet 2003 "s" went for $10,000 on ebay. I feel for this guy as he only had it for 2k miles. A picture is worth a thousand words. would make a great car for a Raby engine upgrade.

Quite the legal description and disclaimer if Porsche ends up paying for the repair. I like the part about working for Porsche.

legal?

"It will also state that we (the sellers) are the party damaged by the engine failure, and are the rightful recipients of any future settlement against Porsche in regard to Boxster engine failures."

Can he do this?

That is a good question. I'm not really sure about the seller's legal rights. However, they are the ones who are suffering a loss here. The failed engine has decreased their sale price significantly. The buyer has no loss, they're getting the car pretty cheap. So I think it would stand to reason that the seller would be the one to benefit from any future settlement so as to set things right.

Unfortunately, legally that is not going to happen as the seller sold the car with a “clear” title, not an encumbered one; any future settlement transferred to the buyer, so the seller is out in any future settlement. And, in any case, you would have to be nuts to buy a car with an encumbered title…………..

My favorite line of his ebay post was
"Individuals affiliated with Porsche in any way agree to pay double"

I guess I would be bitter if my ims crapped out after 2k miles.
