never buy a porsche with no history

Condition is worth paying for. I did this with my RX-7, and I don't regret it a second.

I'd go with the 85 no doubt. You're obviously buying this as a car for nice days that will only see occasional use, why inherit someone elses problems?

Not sure if you want air cooled for sure or not, but earlier 996's are around the same price point from what I have seen (although I am not a porsche expert).

85. turbo will give you problems down the line and $29k is too much for something that looks abused.

Just for kicks, what are your thoughts on a low-mileage 1997 C4S Carerra (no fake turbo tail) with all the records and such?

I really don't like the post-97 bodies for the most part and stepping back into the 80's scares me a bit on a Porsche.

Reliable? Relatively easy to maintain?
