Agree with everything that's been said. I would add if you have a $20K budget, look for a well sorted 986 S in the $13-14K range and keep the rest of your budget for repairs. The repair budget should last you a cpl yrs. The 1st yr will prob be exp as you uncover any deferred maint that needs addressing.

Look for 986s that have lots of maint receipts and has a good oil change history. This will be your best bet vs a 'cat in the sack' at the local used car dealer on the corner lot. Be willing to drive a fair amt to buy a nice one.

And remember: The cheapest Porsche you buy will be the most expensive Porsche you own.
