Roland, I bought it solely for the purpose of using it as a daily driver in mostly bumper to bumper commute and to run errands with it ( home depot, costco, grocery shopping, etc.), while still enjoying a car with great looks and decent performance ( stage 3 SC ). And that's exactly for what I used it until I bought the Maserati. The Maserati became the daily driver, but it's a bit too top shelf to run errands with it so then the 968 was reduced to just that task , for the last two years. Drove it maybe one day a week...if even that ! As for general impressions about the tiptonic, it's really not my cup of tea, to be blunt I find automatics dreadfully mundane, but it definitely is a blessing when it comes to traffic lights, bumper to bumper driving, and of course the age factor where the automatic's benefits become more appreciated. The buyer's interest in this car was simply the engine which he will transplant into another 968, in much better shape than mine was, but one whose engine blew up unfortunately. He'll part the rest of the cars and sell the bits. It's his business, and he has about six or so 968s in various stages of repair or disassembly . He used to be an engine builder and even did a couple of LS1 engine 968s which he sold. He still works on some engines, but only his own cars, though the majority of the time is spent managing the used parts business . 944s, 928s, 968s, 911s, and even some other makes cars..
Jay, he knows about Forums for a long, long time, just no interest I suppose..
