Anybody point out why this is so cheap?, it's for a friend, he doesn't mind Tip's & a set of 18" alloys can be had for £700 from classifides, So over to 993 boys, what is it missing?

''TIPTRONIC'' says it all i think....
Unless there is a major diffrence betwwen 996 tip & 993 tip NO it doesn't.
I have a tip and frankly I would have it over a manual, I don't know if I would pay £2k more for it new, but in used you get it free, if not even cheaper than a manual.
You have to bear in mind he & I are useing these as every day cars in a city & playing with them at weekends.
If it was purly a toy then fair comment, but we dont want to start anymore hairycheasted threads today, well not until after lunch.

Nah - I agree don't worry about the tiptronic, as all the real drivers and real men will be driving GT3s, not the lowly 993
i still reckon unless its been wrecked and badly repaired , even if u had to do discs, even a steering rack and a few bits ur OK ..........if u did anything at this stage at least u d know theyd be ok for a good while longer .........common sense and using both eyes best technique forward
Re: tiptronic vs manual, there is a big difference in the 993 (much more so than the 996). One of the finest 6 speed manual gearboxes ever made, versus a 4 speed with a torque converter.
BUT for some people the tip does make more sense because of personal circumstances (disabilities, city living, etc.) or preferences (some people just like autos!).
Tell your mate to get down there and have a good look at it, or get someone to inspect it. Looks like a good car from the pictures and description.
