98 Boxster base or 06 base?

Hi Guys,
I'm new here but was using the forum to do researches for my first Porsche. Thank you for all the wonderful posts and i have learned a lot.

So I was original aiming for a post 2005 model but then came across this 98' 986 and I test drove it and it seemed great. It doesn't feel like a 17 year car. The car has 2 owners was mainly garaged and the 2nd owner only puts 1000 miles on it every year so right now it only has 41k miles on it. But the service was not done regularly(not every year) since the car wasn't driven much. And the tire was not changed since the 2nd owner take ownership(10 years).

There's also a 2006 base that I will test drive tonight which has only 24k miles on it, 2 owners as well( the first owner put 7k on it). The car recently had 60k mile service done and new tires and brakes. But I wouldn't have time to do a PPI since the owner wants the deal done fast.

The 06 base is $13k more than the 98' one.

Which one do you think would be better? I will only drive the car on the weekend and plan to keep it for a long time.

Thanks!
