I have quick questions for you what was wrong with the PDK that it required replacement at 50k? I am looking at 09 PDK with 100k right now, is there anything major I should look for?

From what I have read, there is no reason not to drive these cars.
They are well built, 100k is nothing if maintained correctly.

Finally got there today! Hustling down to Santa Barbara for a good friend's wedding. 73° and sunny, top down, little blondie in the passenger seat. Very good times.

My 997S is about to hit 84,000 miles - still as strong as day 1 what a car.


My local Indy reported a 997 with over 249,000 miles on original engine.
