Um.. well. SC's can be had from $8K (rough) to $16K (very competant daily driver) cars.

993's seem to be low $20s to mid $50s depending on mileage/condition.

Boxsters (986's) run from low teens (12-13K to mid 20's) for nice Non-s versions.

While I don't recall your price range, it would appear that an SC or 993 could be had for the same money as a Boxster.

SC's and 993's don't drive anything like one another. Sure they look similar (the roofline never changed) but the power/luxuries of the 993 are not present in the SC. The SC has a nice light rawness to it. COMPLETELY different cars.

Don't overlook the 964's either (1989-1994) as an excellent blend of SC and 993 virtues.

Sounds like you have a lot more test driving to do
