PDK sales have outstripped manual sales by a multiple of 3 in respect of volume. Assuming all other things on a car are equal the manual is undoubtedly a quicker seller. Those customers who I've sold too who have bought a Spyder to add to a collection of cars with a focus on investment have all bought manuals. Irrespective of the gearbox though there is no doubt that a nice Spyder is a special thing and although I prefer a manual car, the PDK is an awesome box that marries nicely to the car. I expect prices to continue to rise with the introduction of the new car only solidifying values further. We may see a similar situation over time as has been seen in the relationship between mk 1 and mk 2 996 GT3.

Tom 911vI had in mind that if I could get a well spec'd 981 for £20k plus my super skinny 987 then I would definitely change. First good drive this year, last weekend to Silverstone, and there's no way I can see the 981 being worth that difference. The 987 is a great drivers car and the market is waking up to the fact, evidenced by the resale values we're seeing at the moment. IMO, these cars will comfortably move into the £50k+ bracket even if the 981 retains the distinctive looks, rag roof and lightweight ethos for a little over £60k. They are just great cars with enough potential buyers to keep values strong.
