2009+ cars holding value?

^ I would not touch an out-of-warranty PDK car with a 10 foot pole. That is strictly extended warranty equipment in my book. It's going to be a while before the average independent Porsche specialist is up to speed and who knows how 'wrenchable' those trans are in the first place. You might be better off getting one whole from a parted out wreck.

I couldn't agree more. The complexity of the PDK makes the fuel injection system look like a carburetor. If you're not an expert in digital mechanical control systems, you'll be paying big $$$$ to someone who is.

that is why i went with a 996 . the DI cars are holding their values well and boxster , cayman S models are hard to find vs. 911's . non DI 997's are holding well too, 987 cars are reasonable .

Direct Injection - a new fangled fuel injection that was introduced in 2009 on the S model Boxster and Caymans. IIRC DI was introduced on base models in 2010. DI gives you better hp and mpgs vs FI (how many acronyms can I put in 1 sentence?).
