IMHO I wouldn’t touch any of the newer stuff, Porsche specialist I use has had countless 718 etc in to have bits replaced due to cheap manufacturing.

Having had a 3.2, 986S, 2 x 996 GT3’s, ‘74 3.0RS rep and a 996 Turbo, and with your budget I would go 996 Turbo and budget for some tweaks/maintenance all day long. Failing that get a well looked after 996 C2 with no sunroof and cable throttle and chuck some money at it to make it yours. sports and classic have a great example for sale currently. ▶️ Watch this video https://www.facebook.com/share/r/CMx...ibextid=WC7FNe
