An out of warranty Porsche with PDK and high mileage will be avoided like a Cadillac Allante...Track guys don't want them, folks with modest budgets can't risk buying them. An already small universe of brave Porsche buyers gets even smaller. Resale prices drop severely due to higher supply than willing demand.

I see a niche business of shops stock piling whole PDK transmissions from wrecked Porsches.
shop:"Need a reubuild? I got a take-off from a 2009 right here for you... I'll sell it to you cheap."
Me: " uhhh what's cheap?"
them: "cheaper than that rebuild!".
