If you are in Northern VA, a tiptronic isn't all bad.

I bought my Boxster from a seller who lived in Columbia, MD and used it to commute to Tyson's Corner - at least initially. The car was 7-years old when I purchased it, and had only 30,000 miles on it. He told me he was using it on weekends. My theory is that he got tired of shifting all the time while commuting.

The downside for me was that I had to replace the clutch at 80,000 miles. He probably put 100,000 miles of wear on the clutch during his 30,000 miles of ownership.
