Given your usage goals I would buy the best one you can find & have a very through PPI done by the best Porsche mechanic you can find near the car & have the oil & filter changed during it. $20K should get you a great 986 S. Auto crossing in the future is no big deal as long as you are just there to have fun.
Pro driver ..

First off .. thank you (especially after 50 years .. heartwarming and almost a 1st)

PPI by the best near the car .. has been something I've learned over the past few months .. noted .. but again a ? if I may ..
anything special I should request? .. ie overrev's

20K is my target figure .. including any repairs/replacement items (suspension/tires etc.) so on that we agree as well ..

now for me the big question ..

would I be better off looking at a 2009/2010 ..
2.9 liter .. newer .. no IMS problem .. potentially more reliable ..

I have seen quite a few available at that price range (drove one with a PDK last week 60K miles asking $21.5) .. not overly equipped but ..
trading a few of my desired options for newer car/reliability .. ???

the driving thrill there .. she'd be well taken care of .. and used .. even if not a redhead .. or very noisy ..
