The announcement will be made on Friday. No idea if it will be a progress report or a full update with solution.
I suspect "compensation" will be the same across the board. In this day of the internet there is no hiding. Apparently this is also high on PAGs internal agenda. My guess is it will be a cash back for each week of delay/downtime a client who owns a car faces. Thats what Im hoping in any case. $2000 USD a week would be quite nice. If you car isnt delivered I doubt it will apply logically (i.e. that's a relay not a recall).

I just keep thinking that if it was simply a sub standard bracket by a single supplier and a short run of cars with that particular part, those cars could be isolated easily and the rest could be doing smokey burnouts. Frustrating.

Just dealt with nearly identical BMW situation last year. Owners had to call, ask for comp, and negotiate. Most were in the 1-3k range for 3-4 wk stop sale. Perhaps Porsche will just step up and offer a consistent compensation for all.

Thats what I'm talking about.
Now we can get thru the rest of week! One day at a time. thankyou!
--Interesting on Compensation.. that would be great.. My sales guy says to ask for the BT option.. but all I want is a great deal on a McCan so I can have at least 2 Porsches like everyone else on the Forum..
-- They will be coming out like hot cakes..

Of course if you don't get the 914-6 you will catch sh*t from a whole other group of guys.

You are right Mike. I have been on the other side and always felt like we didn't have enough time to react. Now I am on this side and it feels like eternity Once this is all over we definitely need to have few beers and walk around the wagons and admire the beauty. I will shut up now and drive later
Cheers

Rob, FWIW I had a personal conversation with someone high up in PCNA's customer service organization and compensation is definitely something that Porsche was going to discuss internally. You may be right about some of the specifics, but I think a general framework for compensation will be announced. Just my belief....

If the Stop-sale exceeds a month I can see on average a $2k pissing match happen. I'd expect at least that for Loss of Enjoyment. I don't care if it's a 1% er problem. They need to make it right.

silverrules, we're all feeling the frustration even though we may know how it has to play out. Not saying we shouldn't vent, but just thought I'd throw in a reality check. That last part sounds like a great idea; I'm buying the first round.

Marcus, if it exceeds a month, I think $2K would be low. The compensation suggested in my conversation with PCNA was that for a cash buyer it would be equivalent to the monthly payment if the car had been financed. My car was almost $170K (including tax and license) and the monthly payment on a 5 year loan for that amount at 2.5-3% would be over $3K.

Another possibility and the extended warranty might be added in any event. But when my 996 was in the shop for a month, I received a check and I expect that would be the case this time too.

Former Vendor
Is it possible that PAG is in a tough spot as they don't think they can fix the design flaw permanently and they don't want to be involved in litigation and decide to Issue refunds to current owners in exchange for the cars? Porsche then writes off $140M and ends the GT3 era.
Think this through; Some cars have caught fire. For a fire to exist there must be a fuel source. This is almost surely due a gas leak, or somewhat less likely an oil leak.
The leak is due to a faulty component, or a component failing due to an environment issue such as heat, abrasion or vibration.
These are normal issues and a solution can be found. Guaranteed.
