Completely out of the blue I received this post card today:
Notice to Porsche Owners in Georgia
If you leased, purchased or registered your new motor vehicle in Georgia, you are not required to submit your dispute to NCDS or CAP-Motors prior to filing for state-operated arbitration with the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection (OCP).
if you with to proceed to state-operated arbitration, go to www.consumer.ga.gov/lemonlaw or contact OCP at xxx-xxx-xxxx for further information.
Umm...say what? Anyone have any background info on this?

Got the same thing - was just about to post. It comes from the GA state government consumer protection.
The WEB address on it is for generic Lemon Law info for Georgia - nothing specific on Porsche.
Now that I read it more carefully, I suspect that all GA car buyers got one for recent purchases - just to clarify the lemon law. Either that or some Porsche information provided at purchase was out of date or incorrect and this updates it.
At least I hope there's no good reason - that I'm soon to discover - for filing a lemon law claim with Porsche.

That's what I wondered. It looks like a lemon law form letter, but the fact it is addresses to "porsche owner" made me wonder.
I tend to think you may be on track about some form or paperwork Porsche has been using being out of date or in error.

If I understand properly, lemon laws protect your rights to warranty repairs. If your IMS blew and Porsche dealer refused to replace it, you could invoke this law.
I think this applies to used vehicles, too, if there was something seriously wrong that the dealer knew but did not disclose, like indications of a failing headgasket.

Lemon laws covering used vehicles are not the norm. In most states, lemon laws apply to new vehicles purchased with a manufacturer warranty.
