Went to dealer to find out the trade-in value of MY 2000 base. Dealer said he might be able to give me about $11000 on a trade-thought this was kinda low so I will not be trading her in anytime soon.

11K = robbery? For who...the owner or dealer? (I assume the own is getting robbed via the stealer).

Its robbery for the owner, the car is worth more than 11k.

And yes, what I said previously is extremely unethical. But you have to remember, if you tell the dealer that you have a leaky RMS, they are going to take more than the dealer cost of repair from the amount they would offer you for a trade in. And to be honest, opertunity costs set aside, it would cost the dealer something like 150 dollars to fix the RMS assuming they pay their tech $20/hour.

But like I said, I would only consider doing this to a Porsche dealer. If I was to sell the car privately, I would tell them how it is.

But its probably just me venting since I bought my car from a dealer with a leaky RMS
