Don't believe the quote below.
There is very little difference. 0-60 times tell the tale, and that little difference is only relevant with an expert driver. An "S" tiptronic lessens that difference to the point that it's completely irrelevant. Unlike some that are just stuck on the rear badge, I've driven both many times and can't tell the difference.
There are far more important points to consider, like maintenance history and overall condition.
