97-99's are essentially the same car. 2000 - 2004's are essentially the same car as well. 2005-2008 is the same. 2009-2011 same car.
Look for the lowest mileage within each category but not too low. It should be logging at least ~3K miles per year with evidence that fluids were changed on regular schedule. On the other hand, If the car has more than 60-70K miles and expensive things (if including labor) haven't been changed like: the clutch/ims/rms, shocks/control arms, water pump/coolant tank, rotors/brakes,etc. you'll be shelling out over $1,000-$2,000 a piece for each of these. And its not at all uncommon to have many of these needing to be done at once or very near each other. Just like that you could have multiple repairs that account for nearly 30% of the car's purchase price. There is no getting "a deal" on a high mileage Porsche.
While very low mileage Porsches are a potential risk.
