maybe in your country ! It is defenetly not the case in my part of Europe (Denmark, Sweden and Germany). Especially special automatics like TipTronic are attrative.
In america good gas milage and manual shifting (and decent car design, but thats besides the point) is a lot more rare so I guess it's less exclusive.
Also in Europe we have loads and loads of Porsches on the market which makes it a very healthy market where you often get what you pay for and an automatic that was more expensive from the beginning will not likely drop below a manual but with approx 5-10 year old cars there are so many factors this is a science.
To check this go to mobile.de the biggest car market - search for boxster or 911 from 97-99 you will get a lot of results, sort them by price and notice the majority of manuals in the lowest price range.
