Default 997 Observation BAT Tip/6MT/PDK

Of the 24 997 Turbo auctions only 2 of them have been PDKs. The rest are 6 speeds and and Tips.

I guess having a PDK on a Turbo is pretty satisfying.

They are the fastest/quickest for sure...I specifically wanted a manual (2007 no PDK option) but had I found a PDK that met my parameters I would have jumped on it (a guy who has owned his 997.1 TT for 2 weeks.

I would drive the MT in 3 days and the PDK in 4 days of the week if I can. That would be a perfect week.

In a Turbo, I think PDK is the best gearbox. In a normally aspirated car, I’ll take a manual transmission any day.

Here's a 997.2 manual trans that was just listed. Strong bid of $75,000 right out of the box. (no affiliation).

If any US buyers are interested, since its a US car, you may be able to return it to US w/o paying duty. (search)

Assume it won't be sold at that or current U$76,000 bid as that only works out to ~$100k Canadian and the going market rate here is closer to $130k+ CDN for a good condition low mileage 997.2TT 6 spd coupe.
