I'm sure I'll forget about the whole thing in a matter of days and if a check arrives sometime in the future I don't expect much.
Everyone in the US is so focused on themselves they cannot see forest for the trees

Class action was my area of expertise and I settled over a billion representing plaintiff side, but most of my work in my 28 year legal career before retirement was representing companies in class action and collective action lawsuits.

The point really is punishing the manufacturer or company to try and prevent the bad behavior from continuing into future decisions. Is it perfect, no and you are not getting rich of it. Get a job if you need money. The point is deterring future bad behavior.

Again, it ain’t perfect by any stretch, but It is all America has in the system currently in place.

I may have missed it, but what determines if you get 100 vs 200 ? I got the 100, but it seems most are getting 200 . Is it original owner vs non original owner ?

You get half if someone also makes a claim on the same VIN. Both PO's also filed for this suit on my past Cayman GTS and My 991.2. So I received 2 checks for $100 ea.

I submitted a claim for it back in like September 2022. I bought my 2009 4S cab used in 2013 and sold it last year 2022. I submitted a copy of my purchase and a copy of my sale agreement. On Monday May 1 I received a check for $200. Gave it to my wife.

Got my $200 check a couple days ago.
Very nice for doing nothing for it.

I submitted 5 claims in July 2022. They confirmed they received all of them in September of 2022. I have not received anything yet. Hopefully soon, but anything gained will be a nice surprise.

This is interesting. Bought my 2010 C2S 10 years ago and I am the second owner. I got a check today for $746.88. That was a bit more than I expected.

I did a mobile deposit for my $200 check last Friday. This morning, I got an email from the bank stating the following:

"We placed a hold on a check you deposited at a financial center. The full amount isn't available yet. Hold Reason: A hold was placed on your check(s) because check specific information indicates item may be returned."

What's up with that? Anyone else get the same message?

I was pleasantly surprised. I received check for $738.24. I’m original owner of 2011 997.2, base six speed. No sport Chrono. To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to the basis for the class action case, but I have the impression that it may have had something to do with these cars not achieving the claimed MPG. If that’s the case, I wonder if they would stop payment on the check if I were to say something along the lines , that I never payed the least attention to expected gas milage when I made my decision to purchase this vehicle.

Same exact...to the penny...amount I got for my 2009 C2S PDK that I bought in 2012 and sold in 2020. Have to admit, only car I have missed after selling it.

Received check for $355.20 yesterday and have no idea how they arrived at that amount based on what others have reported... not that I'm ungrateful.

Bought my 2009 997.2 C2 PDK from a doctor friend eight years ago with 15K miles, now has 31K.
