I have a 6TT tip and a 6TT manual. The tip is great for an all around car, probably why it has 180k miles on it. The manual is obviously more engaging to drive. The tip is stupid simple to operate even in traffic and it's still very fast.

On the Turbo I actually prefer the Tip over the manual, the continuos torque of the no-lift-shifts is awesome !!

But I could also be because I'm old now and have been wearing cowboy boots and shifting manual gears for over 50 years..lol

Speaking of White Turbos, here is another one.

2002 Porsche 911 Turbo - $95,000, White, 27K miles, less controversial interior color (Brown/tan).

Beautiful car.

"Owned the car since 2011 when it was 7800 miles on it"

I wonder how much he paid. 95k is a great trial balloon. I hope he gets it.

That is an extremely nice Turbo. Very elegant/luxurious interior. Looks like it has the Footwell Lighting option as well..

This one could prove to be a valuable data point to set the low water mark for BaT 996's. 2001 C2 with 155K miles and faux Aero bits.

I wanted to check up on this (up to $13,300) and looked at the countdown clock -- it ends at EIGHT O'FREAKIN'CLOCK Eastern time. And it's not even the last car on the docket.

That's it. BaT has jumped the shark.

I'd be more interested in the full repaint. No Aerokit no Taco.
