I've heard that the "classic" air-cooled Porsche 911s (964 and 993) with Tiptronics take a huge price hit. The dealers who specialize in the air-cooled cars won't bother with them because they take forever to sell.

When I'm shopping for a car, anything that isn't available with a manual gets crossed off the list. I would never have purchased the E91 if it hadn't been available with a manual.
