With both of the two particular cars in question, I'm not sure either is a great buy. Both have clean CarFaxes, but the 2000 has had six owners so who knows what kind of care each put into the car. In regards to the 2003, I asked the seller, who has been the only owner of the car, how often he changed the oil and what kind of oil he used. He said he's only changed the oil like 4 times. That concerns me to only do an oil change 4 times in over 10 years and waiting 10,000 miles in between oil changes on a Porsche. Best case situation would be that he plans to do a 5th oil change when he hits 40,000 miles, but that would still be once every 8,000 miles.

I think I had narrowed the search to either a 2000 S due to the lowest weight and IMS issue with the later models, and a 2003 S because that's the year that had the best performance of the 986, at least according to my research.
