Hi Nick,
You'll enjoy it, no matter the year! $20K is a little steep for a 2001 S, I'd offer $15K. You should pull a CARFAX on it and ask if they have all service records. Take to a dealer or shop and do a pre-inspection, but only from a Porsche mechanic. These cars are expensive to maintain, so it's always good to make sure you aren't buying someone else's trouble.

Here’s some more helpful information:
