Low mileage is a plus. I don't think you can buy a nice manual coupe anymore for under 40k. I do believe that a deduct of 20% is about right. This would put the same car with tip at 32K. I would step this up for the low mileage, as long as there are minimal stories. Our 993 is a Tip, but a very highly optioned one built from the exclusive program, with a little over 70k miles. I paid 28K two years ago. Since we have added PSS10 and 18" Motorsport wheels, lowered and corner balanced. I would not sell the car for under 40k. Most people who feed into the stigma about the tips have never driven one for any length of time. All of our other 911's are manuals, but the tip is the one I drive most. It all depends on what you are going to use the car for. Buy what YOU want and forget about the stigma. Yes, resale is lower, and yes, they are much harder to sell, but if you get the car for 20% less and plan to keep it, who cares.
