At first PDK out of warranty cars will follow typical depreciation, nothing out of the ordinary, then as the mileage on these start to climb people will start getting burned on PDK repair bills.
With Porsche forums on every smartphone and tablet, stories of $10-$18K transmission repair bills will accelerate the pricing nose dive.
If you thought the IMS got a lot thread clicks wait until this new fangled PDK experiment approaches its sell by date. These Porsches will become like those once super expensive $120K Merc 600's that can now be had for cheap but no one dares go near them. Repair costs do not scale down with sinking resale and Porsche seem to like building things that are hard to take apart. Aint offering super discounts in their parts depts anytime soon either. Porsche is slowly becoming Merc.
