There is a 987.1 for sale which is relatively reasonable(U$25000), and yes, cars here are expensive due to the 300% import duties and taxes.
I would get the car on the condition that I will be able to do a manual conversion. Is it possible? Manual gearboxes are relatively affordable(on ebay).
Kind Regards,
Ash

You would be far better off, and probably would spend less money buying a manual and importing it. You literally would have to take the entire car apart to convert it, and then it would always be a "Frankenstein" vehicle. Either live with the Tip or bring in one that is already a manual. Even in our domestic market, such a conversion project is looked at as a colossal waste of time and money.
