What, the hell, is wrong with you; man?
i wasnt even trying to **** anyone off and you go off on a tangent. Im not ****ting on your car, or anyone elses. Manual cars are more desireable esp now, since, you know people don't buy them as much new.
Also, if you ain't first, yer last; thats what my daddy used to always say.
Well, they both have a point, and I truly don’t think ABSTAND was trying to diss pancing’s car. But I can understand how it came across that way to pancing. Even though a higher mileage tippy isn’t worth as much as a lower mileage 6-speed, it’s still a great car and one to be proud of.
pancing - when I first got my 996tt (which was my 4th Porsche), it got denounced here in this forum as a ragged out piece of track trash, even though it’s an X50 6-speed with a some very desirable mods. Hell, one guy in here even went on a crusade to have me banned - I had the audacity to say that cars selling in the $30k’s aren’t all POS’s.

I agree Dock, Pancing's comment '85k Tip' is a factual representation of what is more desirable within the 996 model range; Abstand took it personally.
The take away here is now we all know that Abstand has a POS 85k tip... and to GWITTs point - I think Abstand is proud of it.

Eh my car is 80k 01 manual, its not desireable to anyone but me. Zipties and plastic bonder hold it together.
Nobody’s saying an 85k mile tippy is a POS, it’s just that the reason it isn’t a $40k plus car is that it isn’t a 45k mile 6-speed. It’s up for sale by a small dealer who probably got it at the auction for $26k or $27k. It’s probably a little rough (most at small dealerships are). According to the ad, the price was recently dropped by over $3,000. He’s probably had it on his lot for a while and is trying a fire sale price before dumping it back at the auction. 996tt tiptronics are wonderful cars, and this one would be a great buy for someone who actually plans to drive the car. Not every car can be a low-mileage, pristine garage queen. And thank God for that - I’d much rather enjoy driving a higher mileage car compared to obsessing over every mile and rock chip I put on a garage queen.
Great comment J, I completely agree. When I was looking there was a local tip with 116K (IIRC) that I drove and was priced well at 32K. Figured he'd take 29-30 pretty easily. Ultimately, I passed on it because I wanted a manual and didn't want to compromise my "dream/me" car, and I paid a lot more for a 3rd pedal. The owner of that tip is on here too, it's a great car.
I have considered picking up a lower price, higher mileage tip for a DD, but the better half won't go for it until I clear our some other vehicles first. Tips are great, especially if you are urban and sit in traffic a lot.
