Very big point missed in your post - what's your budget?

These are high-end sports cars. Older ones may have a reduced value, but they can be costly to maintain. Newer ones will be cheaper to run, but much more costly upfront.

I would recommend getting the newest one you can afford that's in good condition.

Budget will be directly tied to your DIY abilities
Be careful about all the scary reading out there. These cars can be seen as the Plague of the earth - - There not but you do need to know what your getting into

You certainly could get into a 987 or a Cayman
