Sounds like a good deal but PLEASE get a PPI by a qualified independent Porsche shop or a dealer. It will be the best $300 that you have ever spent.

If all checks out well, then you know that you're getting a good deal. If there are issues, then you'll know why its priced so cheap. With this info in hand, then you can make your best deal and generally know what to expect.

Then after you buy it, have $2,000 in cash (or credit!) at the ready for whatever comes up.

As for the tip vs manual, drive both and see what you think. Don't buy something you don't like just because its cheap and if you like it, then who cares what someone else thinks?
