Default Manual vs. PDK

What kind of premium would you put on a 2014 C4S with 22k miles if it was manual (vs. PDK)?

Would $10K do the trick in today’s market?

I would say that's about right, and + another $ 3 K if you can show you always used Mobil 1...

I've seen that figure mentioned here on RL several times.

...Probably will sell much quicker as well (??) - what would you be asking for it? I passed on a lightly optioned 4k mile 2013 manual at a MB dealer right at the start of COVID for about $75k less about $30k trade- in offered for my 2005 base 997 with 43k miles (which I still love nonetheless) but I regret to this day not taking advantage at that point...

Obviously, there are many factors, but apples to apples, I could see a 5-10k difference based on spec. I really wanted a manual, but I got everything else I wanted from my PDK car and even told the dealer if it was manual I would have given them the asking price (delta was about 7k)

Having just gone thru this, $10K is about right, from what I saw in the market.

I agree with the $7-$10K BUT there is a guy on YouTube that appears to do extensive analysis and he showed prices between manual and PDK were the same. That said a PDK is a $3K option and it sure doesn't bring a premium over the manual. I know I paid an extra $8K for a manual on my 991.2. Best $8K I ever spent........

Maybe consider a $15-20K premium that will then be negotiated down to $10k?

I know I paid 7k-10k more for my manual .2 C2S, which is fine by me as I was looking for months. Tons of PDK cars out there, not a lot of high option manuals with no sunroof.
