Would you have gotten PDK if they offered it on the 986?

That is the entire problem, there is no rebuild; they won't sell you parts, and the process requires more special fixtures and tooling than an engine rebuild. And I don't see that changing, as they are not the only OEM that won't let anyone touch the SMG transmissions..................

Hum that low mileage 2008 with Tip I'm looking at is looking a lot more appealing

That's not a problem because, what, 90% of all the new Pcar owners lease their vehicles? What kind of crazy people would buy a Porsche anyway?

I rather doubt the validity of that number; far more of my clients own theirs, particularly as retail leases are such a financial losing proposition…….
