Surf40 do you want a coupe or convertible ? You are going to have to figure that out first. I have owned Porsche's for the last 25 years and the same story now as back then.........buy the newest/best example you can afford. If that is a 2000 model year so be it. And don't shoot all your money on the purchase as generally you want to have some money available to go through the car to make sure the basics are up to snuff. Of course records from the previous owner/s is helpful to see what kind of life it has had. IMS can be an issue but for many it is not. In my case I had the pleasure of obtaining my 02 S from Jake Raby. Had the IMS Solution installed I'll never have to worry about that issue again. Love the car so much I'm now personalizing it to my taste. GT3 front bumper cover, GT3Tek rear bumper diffuser. 996 GT3RS side rocker covers well you get the idea. Jake is currently building a 3.6 short stroke motor for it she will be a killer to drive . Look at and drive as many examples as you can and then make a decision. A PPI via a shop that knows these cars can be invaluable to the buying process but is NOT a guarantee of success. Good luck.
