Interrogotories can be objected to and forced to provide answer by Court.

As wins go this is far from big. I'm certainly happy for anyone able to take advantage of it but you'll have to excuse me if I don't see this as a material victory.

I agree. The only thing I was hoping to savage from this was to get some official word on the single row IMS identification from the official source.

And considering the 996 was manufactured through the 2004 MY, it's safe to assume that most 996 owners are excluded. This settlement is a winner for the lawyers and maybe a select few who: (1) scour the web for 996 information, suffered a failure and know the settlement even exists, (2) have a late delivery '03 or an '04 model with a VIN that falls within the select defined ranges included in the settlement, and (3) own a car that has suffered a failure. And, if you aren't the original owner you're coverage is diminished materially.

The fact this is happening south of the border means people here in Canada can take Porsche to small claims court as the limit for claims is now $20k !! 
What happened with IM'S will set precedent for any IMS claims on the m96 m97 line!!

So why only to 2005? There are Boxsters, Caymans and 911's that supposedly had the same IMS failure after 2005 (or it's an urban myth).
What's the scoop?
Anyone have access to PACE that can download the actual numbers?
Thanks

Wow... Lots of pages to plow through, both the legal documents and rennlist posts!
To me, looks like it falls out like this, assuming the proposed settlement is fully signed off:
Winners: These guys get worthwhile checks

What about guys with cars with build dates in 03 or 04 who are withing the 10 year period, that haven't had the failure yet,and the car was bought used from a Porsche dealer? Do we get full or 25% reimbursement in case of a failure?

The 10 year limit is from date placed into service, which is after the build date so Yes, you're in.

Ya don't know why i was mentioning build dates when i knew it was the in service date. Mine was in September of 2004. So i am in, does that mean 100% reimbursement in case of a failure?
