How to get Porsche replace my 2005 987 Porsche engine IMS bearing failure at 42023 mi

Yes I bought it toasted! but I prefer that case scenario than buying it running (almost dead) drive couple miles and then get stuck at a red light because of IMS bearing.

I think there is 0 (Zero) relationship between the life of the vehicle and if a person just start to own it running or not.

The matter is that there is a Porsche Boxster 987 with only 42k that got engine damage due to the common IMS bearing failure. And the thread topic:

You're funny.

How much did you pay for this car?

You bought it - the way you preferred it and now you're parting it out while wondering how to get Porsche to replace an engine in a car you are currently dismantling? And you have the poor judgement to trash them?

You need to take that roller you bought and try to get your money out of it since you were clearly advised to stay away from it by members here.

Exactly. Lame, lame.

My favorite part is where JFP tells him it is only worth $13k if it has $7k in cash stuffed in the trunk.

Yeah that was a home run, man the reading has been fun this year... What's dumb is he got great tips from multiple sources and ignored them all. then again his initial mission was a subie swap. I guess once he found that was going to require more than a couple new bolts he bailed.

I have just the solution for you.

Is it me or does this whole affair border on fraud? Call it the precursor to fraud, it absolutely shows intent to defraud.

Wow, thank you OP for the entertainment.

[feelyx]

WOW! Did I just read this right?!?! Amazing.......

This Clown's post reminded me of the "just been had" emotion that came over me over 40 years back when I opened the envelope containing my newly acquired Sea Monkeys.

Good luck with Porsche

My advice is to crawl back under your rock. Guys/People like you give victims a harder time. You bought a 3,000 pound paperweight and you want someone to GIVE you something? Soliciting advice to alleviate your ignorance is childish and your posting on Facebook is indeed fraud. You are not a victim. Whatever plan you had not only didn't work but it makes it harder for those who have had real losses to get any traction in a claim. Bad Ju Ju boy, bad Ju Ju. :ah:

He's just as bad as those people that tells his friends and relatives he has cancer but in fact he's just looking to scam them for money.

I feel like a fool for backing him trying to part out the parts...lesson learned.

[Kenny Boxster]

Man, this is revolting. While Porsche engineered flawed parts worthy of being trashed, the lack of scruples demonstrated by this poster has shed embarrassment reflecting all owners of Porsche. I am mortified at the audacity of some people...

I feel a real idiot even replying to this gonad. He's probably sat there smirking !!

Well, I'm going to give him the benefit of one doubt. When I was younger as a lot of you know my dad had a car dealership. I had a lot of HS friends who bought cars that were barely passing inspection many times to have "that" car. Sometimes it was worse than that they bought because it had Cragars or a Pioneer supertuner III. My brother and I got a lot of tang fixing some of those mistakes, seems like every girl brought us orange drink as a thank you for our refined wrenching skills! When I sold my 986 it was yet to be smoked in, pristine inside, I didn't want to sell it as a roller but it turned out to be the blessing everyone said it would. I can see how someone yearning for a Porsche and unaware that trying to get one on the cheap never is, could get snookered into buying one. I wanted to buy an Opel GT that sat nine years through school in a yard rotting, thank god my father vetoed that notion. The distinction with this lad is people with experience and multiple P car ownership tried to keep him from a mistake, in the end we make our own choices. I owned a modded X19 that we had to pound the rusted pistons out of to rebuild, thing is we had a full dealer shop, parts out the yang, three racks, factory manuals, training and plenty of time. Even in perfect health I wouldn't want to fix that Fiat again.

The first statement I thought you meant "Poon Tang", the second proved me wrong.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one lol, what a Ted Nugent moment. Between that and the "gonad" reference above it I felt a surreal '70's trip.
