Just got off the phone with Porsche. Seems my 997 falls into the IMS failure division. Unfortunately, it appears that since I am the second owner, without the ACPO extended warranty, the settlement would only cover 25% of the cost of repairs. From what I hear, this can be catastrophic....... as in the range of $20,000. I was looking into the IMS retrofit, and wasn't sure what to do. If it fails and my motor scatters, $20,000 in repairs. Porsche sends me $5,000. $15,000 lesson. IMS repair kit plus labor $1,500. Am I missing something here? If not, my kit will be on order.........
