Someone is going to pay too much for this car; if you like it offer what you are willing to pay without listening to all us screwballs.

According to the 06 manual the car is not broken in yet at 3000 miles. What this really means is that it was not broken in correctly according to Porsche, probably been run at 6-7,000 RPM more than a few times, already or down the road may burn a little more oil than 'normal', which noone can agree on anyways. You would have the CPO, so so what?

Manual/Tip? Used tips are worth more than manual (check KBB, Edmunds, etc.) regardless of what is often posted here. I've had both and would want a manual if I were still doing a lot of track time; for any street driving, whether in congested areas or running 'twisties' somewhere, the performance differences are insignificant for 99.5% of us. I find the overall convenience of the Tip far more important on a day to day basis.

Tips are for women, gay men, and pirates.

Well, I don't have **** and I don't rob ships, so by your (experienced, I'd surmise) relationship standard I must be limp wristed. If you were a little closer I'd invite you to watch my back end (don't get your hopes up, I mean the car's) as I pulled away from you.

No. Pirates can't get their wooden leg into Range Rover Sports.
Don't know about the others.

Some reponses were quite constructive and others just a waste of internet bandwidth.

Thanks to everyone who provided constructive words of advice and stayed away from the gay ****, homos, women and pirates comments.

You are very new to Rennlist, as we all once were, and I still
am.

You will find this forum has a lot of humor mixed in with a wealth
of information.

As you are aware, in order to become well off enough in life to be able to
afford a 997, you must have a personality, which includes a sense of humor.

Do not take comments made by members which have a touch of humor to them
as being negative. Instead, enjoy the humor, add what you can to the
forum, and don't be condescending.

BW,

I bought a 06 2S Tip CPO full leather, carbon pkg, red dials, 7k miles in October 09 for 58k. No regrets, a great ride. I did install a PSE, the sound is lame otherwise IMO. Good luck.
