For the 997's, when you read up the recommendation it to go 2009+ i.e. the .2 version with the 3.8 engine as the other engine has known issues.
Interestingly, a 997 Turbo is pretty much the same price as a 991 4s, which makes a difficult choice in my head. I have always wanted a turbo 911, but would a slightly slower newer model make more sense?
Forgot to add, another couple for you.
Ferrari California
Maserati GranTurismo / GranCabrio (same engine as the Ferrari, but much better priced car)
Audi R8 V8, these are cheap as chips now and a lot of car for the money.
