yes but the 03-04's were also the heaviest 986's. And the power bump was not huge.

glass top is nice, but you can have this upgraded in some areas for as little as $900.
And the upgrade of a newer top makes the whole car look newer.
After 11 years that glass top might start looking a little worn.

Overall, I think 1997-1999 is essentially the same car, 2000 - 2004 same car, 2005-2008 same car, 2009-2011 same car.
I would concentrate on mileage in each category, a good amount per year, say at least 2,500 miles, is ideal.
Once mileage crosses over ~60K miles some big expenses will be on the way if you intend to keep it more than a couple of years.
