Anyone had any issues with their Tiptronic cars? I got a Dad who's looking at a Tiptronic Boxster S. I have very little knowledge about the Tips. I have heard of some problematic ones before 2000. Anyone had issues with theirs?

73k miles on a base 2000 so far, my tip is rock solid!!!

Expensive as hell to get serviced (Oil change) north of $300!

the tips are fine, I have seen some higher milage ones 90K + start leaking due to to front pump failure, and then you will need a new one. But for the most part they rock solid and bulletproof

brad please say your talking about the pump needing new and not the whole transmission????

We may be selling my wifes 2003 Boxster TIP - granted it only has 22K miles, but, knock wood, the trans has been great.

I actually have grown quite fond of the TIP and its versatility!!

YOU PROBALY COULD GET AWAY WITH JUST A PUMP, I RECOMEND THE WHOLE TRANS BECAUSE AFTER PARTS AND LABOR A PUMP REPLACEMENT IS ABOUT 2500-3000 AND YOU STILL HAVE A HIGH MILAGE TRANS
NEW TRANS IS ABOUT 6K OUT THE DOOR FOR A BOXSTER ITS MORE COST EFFECTIVE
