Buy the Best example you can afford.
Don't rush, take your time, test drive, read and research, especially "IMS" issues on these cars. Look for a low mileage car -its just mitigating your risks on old parts needing to be replaced. For $11k I'm sure you can find one with 35k-50k miles or under. Obviously more money for an S model.
Decide what year 986 you are targeting. Check out the different options, the more the better. (i.e. heated seats, cd changer radio, windblocker, bigger wheels)...
Get your future brother in law to check out the car, PPI, a once over if you are not a tinker type.
