You may want to check in on the maintainence on a 993,I heard the spark plug changes are like $600 for example.
996s are cool, but it's still too similar to the 986. I've already started working on my Dad's 996 already because it's very similar to the Boxster.
How about an old 964? Those cars can look SWEET!
