The base 996 has superior performance to a base 993. Lets just get that out of the way. Sure, each car has its own maintenance issues - 996 has the RMS and coolant tanks - same as your boxster. 993 has Valve guide wear (which can mean a $6-8K top end rebuild.
The 993 and 996, however, are VASTLY different in feel/sound. Steering. Brakes. Exhaust. Suspension compliance. All make these cars incredibly different. IMHO, the 993 is still "overbuilt" in its build quality feel. The 996 feels "cheaper" in comparison.
Test drive em both and make the call your own!
