Manual? How quaint. Do they still make those then?

The one at Bolton has been on there for at least a month and was on at below 59k but they increased it last week.
Think because there was this one which sold last week http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...
Ex press car which made me bit unsure about it otherwise I was seriously considering that one.

Not that easy if youre looking for used 991 with one of those old fangled manual boxes

Seems to be very little demand for the manual box, either new or on the used market place.

Unfortunately not, still just the PDK with that clunky, obstructive, grafted-on gear lever. No wonder "nobody wants manuals" when the only (pretend) one available's bl**dy awful. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

If it had a real manual (6-speed, rifle-bolt short-shift, 60 lbs lighter than 'involvement-killer' PDK) then there might be a lot more demand and we'd all have that option available to us in future. soapbox

The stick shift is nearly finished, imo..Everything in life that is more practical will sell better, its a fact of life nowadays.

Personally think there is probably reasonable demand used, 4 out of 24 sold in the last week but either high spec Nearly new or like the one I mentioned above at very reasonable price for the spec.
Problem is only 1 S coupe on pucl and even if you only have a couple of must have/ or mustn't have on the specs it cuts down your options completely.

Bolton car is non 'S' which would limit its appeal to many I would guess.

More likely to be a non S for sub £60k. Make sure it has Sports Chrono Plus...

Its a shame. Sure, auto is faster, more practical and convenient but I just miss that engagement a manual gives on a sports car.

I've never driven a PDK, but did have a Audi's DSG on an A4 a few years ago and it was boring (and that was supposedly a gamechanger for auto's!).

In 10 years time will manuals have a strong premium over autos?

Are any new cars 'keepers'?

The great majority of new buyers change regularly.

No. As soon as the interior, steering feel and rear end are sorted they will be left for dead. The 991 is a car which is respected but not loved.

52!!! I'm genuinely shocked and feel for you with this

Does anyone know what sort of 3 year balloons Porsche finance are offering on 991s now?
