For the most part, Porsche's with Tip usually suffer a larger depreciation in comparison to the manual transmission.
Do we feel that cars with the PDK will meet the same fate?

I doubt it, as PDK is a new paradigm. I am afraid current tips will suffer as PDK replaces them.

Demand for the Tiptronic is as strong or stronger than the manual in many markets. However, like other expensive options (full leather, special paint, etc.) you won't see much back from it; re-sale value is mostly dependent on mileage and condition. I don't see PDK being any different, and seeing M3 SMG asking prices right in-line with manual cars backs this up.
And PDK won't impact Tiptronic re-sale. Used 997s are selling at very different price points from new and are therefore not competing for the same customer.

To the original poster, the PDK is lightyears ahead of the Tip.
Drive one and you'll see.
The PDK 2ndary market will hold it's value very well. Go drive one, grab a drink, sit down, and order yourself a new toy. Enjoy life, it's too short!

They do... Tip only accounts for less then 25% of total 911 volume. The new PDK however, is estimated to be on about 50% of the cars.

I thought that the Porsche sold more tip's than manuals in Europe. I could swear that one of the Euro online mag's made that comment because Porsche expects the PDK to influence the American Market to the same degree.

Depreciation curves are relatively smooth for all makes and models. In the near term the economy will be providing a much bigger hit to used 997 values than the introduction of a revised model.

Tip values (and PDK eventually) are a function of the market like everything else. Some, like me, want an automatic. There are fewer available. Also fewer buyers. It is a narrow market. Certainly the "stick" buyer will not buy one unless the price is so low he can't resist. The reverse is true for the buyer who wants the automatic.
While the PDK is likely a major improvement, I am more than satisfied with my
'06 C2 Tip. I'm old now and have owned and shifted over forty 4, 5 and 6 speed Porsches since 1968 (and a couple of automatic 928s). My tip is a joy.
And, judging from the year-old 2007 C2 with 6.6K miles listed below at $62K, the Porsche market is indeed soft!

I have not driven a PDK equiped Porsche yet, but everything that I have read indicates that Porsche has none of these teething problems on the PDK.
- Take a look at '97-'99 986 pricing then compare it to '00-'02 (base model)pricing.
- Look at 996 pricing from '98-'01, and then compare '02-'04 996 pricing.
In both instances the prices are far from smooth as people are willing to pay noticably more for the upgraded models. As I stated I believe that a similar gap will eventually develop between the MK I and Mk II 997's and will probably be even more pronounced due to the major engine and transmission differences between these models.
