Nothing wrong with a Tippy, at least you will never see over revs range 5 or 6

Why don't you want a tip? A tip in Alanta traffic would be a joy to drive. I switched from a 6 speed to a tip because of Houston traffic. Don't miss the 6 speed one bit!!

Well I think the PDK will not let you downshift that far down the gears right? Other than that, it is a topic very much written on this forum. That's all nothing that my Durametric Pro has seen on most cars I check.

Jerry,

That's an awesome car and a great price! Too bad it's a TIP.. That car is about 10 minutes from me... Keep looking... You will find one. Are you interested in Speed Yellow?

Jerry,

I'll keep my eye out for you. I Have a few friends in the used Porsche biz... I'll let them know what you're looking for... Blue is rare and so is red......You want PCCB's? Let me know...

Hey Thanks alot Phillip. Im holding out for a private sale so I dont have to pay my local gubmint $5700 dollars in taxes. Thats $5700 I could put into a nicer car or mods. Unless I can find a Dealer willing to lower their price to offset the tax payment.
I am looking for a car $80k or less. Red, Atlas Grey or some sort of Blue.....Black or Tan/Natural brown interior. Preferably less than 25k miles, manual trans, sport seats, Locking diff. As close to perfect condition as possible.
Would like to have PCCB but dont really care one way or the other.
