NOTICE OF PORSCHE IMS SETTLEMENT / You may have a right to claim money due

[thom4782]

My 986 is more than 10 years old and it has NOT had an IMS failure yet. It seems to me I have two practical choices:

1. object to the settlement and hope the court decides in December the settlement isn't fair
2. opt out of settlement and preserve my right to seek damages for a future IMS failure

The third choice - accept the settlement - would guarantee that I would not receive anything for a future IMS failure because of the 10 year rule.

Do other agree that I am interpertng the settlement right? If so, I will probably opt out.

I think they should have extended that to 15 years due to the amount of low mileage owners out there who are "taking care" of their cars. If a defective IMS is going to fail, it will, and performing scheduled maintenance obviously has no direct correlation here, or the defendants would have won.

I do hope people who have incurred this horribly inconvenient damage in the past get what they rightfully deserve. For those people looking to the future, I think the pool is tiny, especially as the next year passes. The last model year of a car doesn't usually sell very well. I never see facelifted 986s around anyways. In fact, 986s are as rare as hen's teeth in a very Porsche-loving town. Have not seen a single other one since owning it.
