I am entering the market for a 964 Tiptronic coupe to use as a daily driver and something the wife can comfortably hop into.

That's right, I said Tiptronic, which from my search appears to be a reliable transmission.

Not interested in Convertible, but am curious about Targas but I don't think I want the extra noise or seal issues.

I basically am looking to make a 964 Grand Touring daily driver. "Comfort" suspension, as quiet inside as possible (add sound dampener & weight!), SUV right height due to hilly area that I live in, upgrade the stereo, etc.

Love these cars and the support I get from Rennlist.

Nothing wrong with a TIP. Jut throw it into TIP mode and thrash the hell out of it. No over rev chance and great in traffic or hills.

.....and it makes a formidable DE car, once you learn its idiosyncrasies.

I stated out the same. I wanted a tiptronic coupe with stock suspension. I ended up with my 91 coupe tip 3 years ago and have absolutely no regrets. I thought about adding sound dampener but came to realize Porsche did a great job from the factory and is very quite inside as is.

hi,
my first 964 was a manual, RIP now, just got a 962 C2 tip... took a while to get used to (days actually)..
but genuinely NO REGRETS. i keep reading tip boxes are bulletproof, which is very reassuring.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH.

Here is another car I would like to buy but owner doesn't seem interested in selling. Slow responses to emails and I actually made an offer via email and voicemail and haven't heard back in days. Still listed on auto trader. This is not a situation I am comfortable with for a long distance purchase.

I was provided a PPI by the owner, not very comprehensive, but it stated oil cooler line leak issues and needs new belts.

I saved this car to my Autotrader account on October 23rd so car has been on the market for a while. Asking $18k , 100k miles, VIN: WP0AB2964PS420506

My plan was to take it to Stuttgart Performance Engineering and having Matt De Maria take a look at it for me. Owner was willing to do this.

Here is another car I am passing on, a North Carolina car with some time in Miami.

Rennlister 911Jetta (Udo) let me know about this car and was nice enough to go take a look at it and take it for a test drive. The Rennfax shows the car needs some cosmetic attention. Udo also let me know he spotted some rust under the front windshield which is a potential big red flag unless that gets fixed by the dealer. No service records and no manual. Although I believe the dealer can contact the former owner about this. Hopefully Udo will chime in with his observations and test drive experience.

Anybody interested in Purple with black interior? This one just popped up in Phoenix Arizona. 58k miles. Not for me.

How about this 93 C2 Tip on eBay? Worth a look at the asking price.

oops.... Missed that you had already passed on this one as it is silver. I'd almost be tempted myself if it weren't Tip. $17K seems pretty fair as an asking price.
