Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Getting closer to buying a C4s - interesting comment made to me today that Tip gearbox cars are more saleable than manual gearbox cars and much preferred. Curious to see if that is the case.

POST 2Original post

all depends really, on what someone wants. 70% of the turbos (996) that have been made were tiptronic boxes. All i would say is go with what you prefer, try both out and then see, after all there will always be a buyer for the right car. Hope this helps Steve

POST 3Original post

Excellent advice. I opted for the Tiptronic and love it but you need to drive both and then make up your mind. All the best Chris

POST 4Original post

Hi Bal, All excellent advice and will largely depending on what you feel more comfortable with and your use (town / motorway / track etc..) There are a couple of threads going back where comparisons about resale value, reliability (RMS etc.) have been discussed..... http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=182876&mpage=1&key=tiptronic&#183635 http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=294595&mpage=1&key=tiptronic&#294875 (started by you in 2007 ..! [ ]) Good luck!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the feedback and links. I did laugh when I saw one of the links had been started by me! I clearly had not bought a car since then for various reasons, but was close to having a C4s Cabrio today (Manual), unfortunately it fell through....

POST 6Original post
