Could be good news for those looking for bargains on 986's or 996's, could be bad news if you were looking to sell either. I seriously doubt it (this article) would have a major impact on resale values though, they have already fallen substantially.

Couldnt agree more. Everyday someone is showing up excited to buy one of these cars...the IMS is old news. Sounds like we need to worry about the 26 other known issues and how to overcome those

Prices are right along with all the other German cars that were NOT built by hand. MBs and Beamers all nose dive when out of warranty and with high miles. And rightfully so!

I would think if you have the LN IMS Retrofit done, your car would be worth more money... no?
