Looking for some input from you guys. I can get a 2007 turbo coupe with 5k miles for $88k. It is adaptive sport seats, tip, and ceramic brakes among a few other things. Color is decent too. Any opinions from you guys on this one?

 

Tippies will always go for a lower price. Sounds like a reasonable price for a 6spd. See if they can go lower.

 

I do not agree with bonehead. When I was searching there was no price differance between the two. I know I will get flamed for having a tip ( which I prefer ) always remember you get the 6 speed for FREE! I love rowwing the gears like others but as I get older it is not as fun and the auto's continue to get better. If you like the car I say it is a good price. Good Luck.

 

Bonehead is correct, there is a price difference between the two, and that was before the PDK came on the scene.

In todays market you can expect a discount of 6-10k for a tip.

To the OP if you like the car in all aspects, it is a decent price for a tip with that sort of mileage. Due your research on ceramics, if there is no cpo then it may get expensive, fyi

 

My comment was not meant to offend. Just an observation of the trends I've noticed. As dinorocz said, they often go for several thousands less. And with PDK out, the prices are even lower.

 

I'm surprised TIPS are discounted that much. Most turbos I am seeing now are auto. I have a 6 speed C2 and don't enjoy shifting in traffic, leading me to drive the car less.

 

The TipS on the 2007 997 Turbo is a good and very strong transmission (Mercedes). I still belive the $88K pricetag is too high, you can get one for less - except if this is your dream configuration with just the right color.

 

I feel the same, not here to offend just to offer info. ( just remember all info is free ). I agree the pdk will/has hurt the tip cars, but the tip is a proven piece of equipment that works really well. I beat the heck out of mine at the pca de event sat. at pbir and it did not miss a beat. Back to the op post, I say if you like the car beat up the salesman!

 

I doubt you will get that car for much less. No harm in offering. I picked mine up with similiar options for a similar price, but there are people looking specifically to buy tips. Tip with PCCBs is rare. There is a member on this forum looking for that combo, and he has only found cars in the mid to high 90s. There is no tip car going for 8-10 grand less than similiar equipped 6 speeds.

Does the Tip have rev matching for downshifts?

 

Nope.

Is it CPO? Here in SoCal, tips are a bit lower than 6spd in price.

 

Get the tip, you can pay a little less AND go faster than either of these two clowns

 

Just because you took down Pesce, don't mean nuthin' to me. Bring it, Anthony!

 

CPO would be an extra $2k.
