I was in your situation very recently. I had to make a choice between a new 987 or a used 996. After a few test drives in both I opted for the 987. I made the choince because I live in S. Fl. and love the wind in your hair feeling I get to and from the beach. I also like the mid-engine layout better than the rear engine. The 996 is a great car no doubt and I would love to have a Carrera eventually as a second car, but I am a purist and my first choice was the two seater. Neither car is a bad choice so long as driving it is fun and enjoyable for you. Good luck and have fun.
ps I will be posting some pics of my new 987 soon.
