Nice car from the looks of it, but does need some catching up on maint and driving. I buy mine at the depreciated end of the spectrum, so I can't be trusted to put a price on it. My advice would be to buy this one if you can get a satisfactory price and then take it straight to the shop for fluids, tires, IMSB, and a good check of all the plastic and rubber. If you start racking up miles expect a couple surprises such as a coolant leak or the other window regulator to go out. Expect that on any 'new to me' 986 though.

Thanks all

I appreciate the feedback and expanded my thought process. Working out of a semi vacuum can skew your thinking. The 03 is an easy better option and I know he's expecting a counter on the 16,800. I played with the numbers last night and read all the feedback this morning. It's more up front but a better car and longterm more cost effective and enjoyable.
