If you really need the money, just sell it. If you need a new car at the same time, save yourself the hassle and trade it in for a new comfy ride with electronic steering that makes it easy on your shoulder.
However, if you don't need the money, "gift" the car to a kid, friend, loved one to enjoy and then if you recover and want the car again, you'll have it and if not, at least you've introduced someone else to the Porsche world and had someone keeping it running and maintained while you're away.

Well it is not an opinion or feedback. I am talking based on MY experience. PDK 997.2 took me 8 months to sell. I posted it on Cars.com, Autotrader.com Carguru ...etc..A friend of mine who also owned 997.2 BUT 6SPD with similar mileage and year took him only 3 weeks to sell and got 8K above what I sold it for.
Is this an opinion? NO, this is a fact! PDK are in less demand in the used market. If it is Brand new, maybe it is different story

Both brands seem to be doing quiet well after dropping the manual because of near zero demand. Porsche will get there too. Just a matter of time. Everything involving technology evolves including transmissions. Reading this forum, sometimes I wonder how many participants have replaced the PCM with an 8 track or cassette player combined with an AM only radio......

So every single buyer of a new Ferrari or Lambo as of a couple of years ago are left leg amputees? Both brands seem to be doing quiet well after dropping the manual because of near zero demand. Porsche will get there too. Just a matter of time. Everything involving technology evolves including transmissions.

997 though; manual all the way! The car just screams for it: it fits the old-school feel of that car very well.
Newer cars, outside of the lower power boxster/cayman: I would choose a PDK.
I didn't ever envision myself saying that, but after driving a 991 GT3 and a 991 PDK, I wouldn't opt for a manual on those models.

I have sold several cars on RL over the years, the only issue holding back cars selling on RL is the ridiculously high asking prices by owners who have too much of an emotional attachment to them or too big an ego to lose a few $$ or too high a payoff to the bank
Secret to selling and having your car actually go by-by is to be sensible and pricing it right.
2009 997S w/PDK - $50K??
-What color
-What options-
Service records
-Any accident damage?
All of these factor into what your sell price will be. I'm guessing if it is nice color conbo/clean with some good options like Adaptive Sport Seats, PSE(Porsche Sound Exhaust) maybe $50K will sell it considering it is less desirable PDK

$55k at that mileage and being a PDK cab. Would be $10-$15k higher if it were a MT and coupe.
