Looks nice. Duh , this one a Tip. I guess for the other one you mentioned in another post. Were you able to negotiate the price due to the clutch and brake job? Has a PPI been done ?

Cuda911

As above, make sure to get a good PPI. In the pix, the car looks fantastic. The tip is a great transmission IMO.

Dehcho

The owner of the other car apparently doesn't want to negotiate. I emailed him and I have heard nothing.

The 2002 Tip, is a local car whereas the other one is across the country.

Love everything about the 2002, just not sure about the Tiptronic..

When I started looking for a Turbo, I had the mindset that I was not going to make any compromises and settle for a Tiptronic. Long story short, I ended up with a Tip. It was much better than I had read about, and the transmission definitely "wakes up" when getting into some aggressive driving. I would equate it to a new car being switched into sport mode. Shifts become more crisp and it revs out more freely. I think until you push the car a bit, you will not really appreciate the potential of the tip. Is it ever going to give you the control and raw driving experience of a manual? No. But it is quite good in its own right. This coming from a guy who prefers manual transmissions...

I think the most important thing, as some have mentioned, is what modifications you have planned for the car. For big hp builds, the 6-speed will most likely be a better option, but the tip should handle around 500~550 whp.

Car looks great btw.

Dehcho

Thanks,

I wouldn't be doing any upgrades at all..

Dehcho

What do you guys think of the red interior?

Thx

Brett

mig.

I actually really like the red and more so that the exterior is red as well. I reckon that will age well. I would be tempted to go back to a red console though to you know, tone it down a little...

Cuda911

^^^ Yep... the red interior works well with that shade of red exterior. I'd be a proud owner of that car for sure!

Do you mind if I ask what the seller wants for it?
