The price of the Boxster you are buying today has already been impacted in a major way by the existence of the IMS problem, the publicity it has gotten and Porsche's lack of appropriate action on the problem. The problem has already cost Porsche more in upgrade sales of new cars than it would cost them to fix the problem in all cars where it occurs! Reputation is something awfully valuable to a company, the customer you have today is the cheapest one you'll ever get, to acquire a new customer costs an enormous amount.
Yes, the folks who developed the fixes have hyped their products (economics 101). Some of them have actually made money. Others haven't.
Yes, we get tired hearing speculative, whining, rehashes of the same old subject. But not everyone who frequents the forum is as informed as some are. So show them a
link or two, lets remember we were all newbies once. And if they are trolling, then the supplying of factual info will at least allow other readers to learn the facts.
