A 78 911SC and a 89 944S2. Daughter still fit in the back seat and both could be had at a reasonable cost at the time. The S2 was essentailly in new condition with just 17k on the odometer but had incurred almost 70% depreciation. The 78 SC I got at what now feels like was the buttom of the market. Bought it for $16k and sold it for $18k after owning it for three years and spending about $3k in maintenance and repairs. Cheap tranportation if you ask me. If I would have had the room I would have kept it but I didn't and I needed at least one car with more leg and headroom as my daughter out grew the back seat. I'm still resentful about the fact that she outgrew the SC.

I'm trying to justify to my wife the need for something larger than a three car garage. I'd happily trade house square footage for garage space. She not buying it......yet. The strategy is to get her more personally hooked on having her own Porsche again. It's addictive so I think my odds are pretty good.
