Well, let's see. This thread started out about the lower prices of Boxsters these days.

After that?

Lets get on back on track. Tips are fine, stick too.

It is all good.

Bottom line, I thought the low price was partially due to the fact that it was a TIP, it seems I've learned that is not true in other parts of the world. We learn something every day!

Tips are more in demand and retain there value vs manual if you search anywhere in the nation...
That said I am soo glad I have my Tip and not for the original reason I decided to get it...my better half cannot drive a manual.

This weekend I took a spirited late night drive here in NJ through a handful of my favorite twisties and loved every minute of the tip shifting...

...keeping the revs up while carving out a few good turns with the growl of a non modded, non S is enough bliss for me! (alright, it is desnorked)
