current status of the 964 tiptronic value-wise

[creaturecat]

current values? more or less? price differential vs manual?
Singer driving minimum prices upward. - it seems like that would be the case
they apparently not fussy re: manual vs tip.
Singer just asked buddy to source 10 cars, in Japan - none available.
a few seemingly overpriced tips sitting around locally - some look fairly decent .... perhaps not overpriced ........ dunno.
thoughts? anyone?

I would figure at least a 20% discount for tip vs manual.

[creaturecat]

20% - that's roughly my take on it, percentage-wise. thx.

that about correct but consider harder to sell when its time

This could be a good arbitrage play. As the boomers get bad knees and inevitably die off, tip will be in higher demand than manual. You heard it here first. At some point, tip will command a 20% premium.

A conversation about my street car made me think about a track parallel. I was talking to a friend who works at Black book about my street car. currently there's a premium on manual versions of my car because they don't make manuals anymore (R8). my friend said, "you know that premium will go away in the next 5-10 years." I asked why he thought that. his answer had 2 points. first he said, younger drivers just don't know how to drive a stick so as they enter your buying population, they will "avoid" the stick cars. second he said, look at the auto industry, they're not making a manual Lambos, Ferraris or C8's. I think the stats on last year's corvette sales were 8% manual. they are responding to the market.

The way they make these dual clutch pdk's now they actually outperform manual (so says the head of engineering at Porsche)

And ... Millennial's, especially those in tech make over 6 figures by year 3 and none know how to drive a standard transmission...

hard numbers, car in question.
44k US?
for a nice one. 50000 miles a 9/10 when taken at face value. subject to ppl, of course.
seem reasonable?
no. i don't have pics to share.

I have a customer with a 1991, tip cab. Fair car, good driving, 100k miles, not bad but not perfect. He is at low $40's. Think I could get Singer interested in that?
