For $10,000 you can get a nice 986 Boxster and have the car professionally refreshed and maintenance caught up. 1998-2000 are some of the best deals out there and I have found them to be very reliable cars if well taken care of. Having the IMS bearing replaced is good for peace of mind, as is having a good history of service. Audi TT Quattros are a great car too and the first generation is very affordable. Rather than a Corolla/Camry, how about an Infinity G35 coupe? Nothing wrong with the MX5 or Honda S2000. I was originally looking for one when I came across a 2000 Boxster S and decided to go with Porsche instead.
