Buy the newest car you can afford. In my case, I wish I spent $10/20 000 more as, at just over 2 years of ownership, I think I'd have spent less, overall. And I've done a lot of work, myself. Having said that, these cars seem to need a lot of work around the 60-70 000 mi mark and it should be all done on the car you're considering. I've done ( by 75 000 mi) pads, rotors (4), brake fluid/ flex lines (4), clutch, flywheel, IMS bearing ( LN engineering), tires (4), refinished wheels,idler pulley, AOS, MAF, struts/ anti-roll bars ( not needed), exhaust bypass pipes and 997 short shifter ( performance upgrades). Currently installing the idler pulley and chasing a short in the right FR light assembly. It needs a roof, next. Hopefully the car is less needy during the next 2 years or I'll bail and get something newer. Choose carefully.
