I live in a state that adopts CA emissions policies, and the salesperson I spoke with the other day said he hadn't heard of any stop-sale orders. The subject came up when he asked me if I wanted to trade in my 3.4L 981 on the car I was purchasing. After responding with the obligatory "LOL no" I told him I was surprised they were even offering, but he said it wouldn't be a problem. Of course, who knows what would have actually happened if we'd gone that route.

At first glance I think I agree with you, but the lawsuit seems to say that it's all cars, not just SC cars. I suppose it's possible both those cars have SC and Porsche expects SC to have the finger pointed at it after discovery ... maybe?
There's just a lot of supposition at this point.

It's a Stop Sale order, why would that stop them from BUYING your trade?

The open-ended duration of the order, for one thing. At a bare minimum, he could be expected to cite the order to 'neg' my trade-in value. "Best I can do is $50, this thing's just going to sit in the back lot until Biden is out of office," etc., etc.

Seems easy enough for anyone living in an inspection state to bring their SC optioned vehicle to an station and have them test the engine in Sport and non-Sport and see if it fails emission tests.

It may be BETTER for Porsche to buy these cars as they come in for trade if they think there is a proportionate payout like VAG dieselgate. Better to hoard inventory and reduce the 10K checks. The dealers may also benefit from the check as well as get $ to perform the fix.

Hm. A lot of info is missing here. Is it an SC thing? Or is it the shift maps caused by SC—which would suggest SC + PDK cars?
One thing I do know from two years in a Cayman S PDK: Cruising around in Sport Plus with PDK is ridiculous to the point that it's hard to see many customers doing so. I remember mistakenly selecting Sport Plus once and turning into a supermarket parking lot only to have PDK shift down to first gear aggressively—while the pedestrians didn't abandon their carts to dive for the bushes, I got a lot of nasty looks…

I'm appalled that anyone would manipulate smog equipment. With that said, if anyone wants my personal experience and advice on the best way to install Fabspeed Sport Headers and how I am enjoying them off-road - let me know.
But send me a check anyway Porsche (hint just add some more options to pay for it). ****ing the greatest car ever. Reliable, after initial depreciation, it essentially stops depreciating, and so fun to drive. Now they're sending me a check too? I love this country.
