Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

greetings,
with the 951 sold, i'm looking at early 996's. Tiptronic is mandatory - and there are a couple of really nice examples that i've found that are in consideration. But i haven't seen any tiptronic TARGAS out there.
i realize that targas are rare, but HOW rare - and how much smaller is the list when a Tip is thrown in?
i'd appreciate any leads on 996 targa/tips that are for sale....thanks!
I did a used search on the Porsche site. I found only 3 Targas with Tiptronic transmission and all 3 are 2003 model year cars. Two of the cars are Artic Silver with Black standard interior and the third car is Seal Grey with Black standard interior. Here is the info on each. Hope this helps!

the really do command a bit of a premium, don't they - considering that there are 02/03 coupes that are in the 40's...how much more were the targas new in reference to a coupe?
Those dealer prices are quite high. Targas sold at similar prices to cabs when new, and although they are less common, I would think the used market would be similar to cabs as well.
That speed yellow Targa is pretty cool, if you are looking for a Tip. The dark roof actually tones down the "flying banana" look a little. And the car is loaded with options.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
