Going to look at a 2000 3.2 S I have found 2 of what I consider the best examples I can find but one is manual and the other a Tiptornic. Now the car will not be tracked or races just a summer car to go along with my 1991 300SL I have been told stories of both but the real facts are: Tip: £2.5k cheaper, EVERY reciept for everything in a big folder. £1500 brake overhaul just completed. in stunning condition with 80k miles Manual STUNNING CAR fully loaded with the sports seats 60k miles full history and has a nicer coloured roof and extras this is my favorite but its as I say £2.5k more. help as I am totally undecided as to what to go for. thanks
 
Manual for me - hate Tip (but love PDK!) (BTW, you're not allowed to advertise your business in your signature!)[;)]

Go for a good test drive in both and by the end of that exercise you will know exactly which one to buy IMO it has to be the manual as the Tip really didn't suit the earlier Boxsters at all
 
I have a manual 2.7 Boxster and an auto Focus. I must admit in real world driving the auto box is very convenient, especially if you live in a city. Faced with your dilemma I would think hard and balance your use in the real world against the times you can play racing cars and really use the gears. I would choose the best car regardless of the box.
 
Go with your gut feel ....ultimately your call. Personally tried them both and like both but for me by an edge manual wins.
