2014 cpo base with pdk replacement at 15000. I started negotiations for a trade on a 2017 (while the car was in for the repair) and the dealer states my cars value is much less because of the warranty replacement. All activity reference this car has been with this dealer. Is this correct? I can't find anything online related to my current situation.

I'd try a different dealer

Yeah, I'd say that's an excuse for the sake of negotiation. I'd think enough folks would prefer a car with 15k less miles on the PDK to make it a wash against those who would think it was a negative somehow.

^^^ This.

I just had major warranty repair on my 991 and Porsche NA said they do not give less for trade in because of warranty work. It's the dealer pulling your chain.

+1. Warranty work by the dealer should never diminish the value of your car.

Sounds ridiculous to me. I would be happy with a new PDK if I were buying a CPO car. I would go to a different dealer. You can always sell the car outright to any dealer if they will give you close to the price you want and then buy the car you want somewhere else.

I agree that the value of his car should not decrease because of the PDK replacement, but when did Porsche NA start taking cars in on trade?

As a buyer, my thought would be "COOL, new PDK!"

PNA told me their dealers don't ding the car for warranty work.

Dealer doing what dealers do...try to BS you to make more money.

Well just to play devils advocate here, I work in a dealership myself and I hear "this car has had its XXX replaced, it must be a problem car" all the time. The average consumer is an idiot unfortunately...

One of the benefits of buying a low mileage CPO car is that the original owner had to deal with the initial kinks and getting them worked out. The PDK was a kink that is now worked out. See another dealer.

dealer is giving you total BS!!!

What would have happened if you put new tires and brakes on your car too? They probably wouldn't even take it.
