Porsche prices are all similar. Buy cheap and you will have to add money, to get to the car, you could have bought and driven home. There are enough to create a very stable pricing points.
That being said buy the best car you can afford, if you can’t buy the car you want, move to the next one.
If you think plumbers and electricians are expensive, call a few Porsche shops. For every dollar you spend on upgrades, your value on resale will be $ 0.40 on the dollar if you are lucky. Let the other guy spend his money and enjoy the discount. Boomers have driven the prices sky high, then they get the car and spend volumes of money, get the car back and then realize the car is small and hard to get in and out of, clutch pedals aren’t as much fun as they used to be, etc. I have driven 911s since 2005 and BMWs before. My 1984 Carrera has almost 180k mi and it’s my only car, daily driver. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. If your car has to meet smog requirements the CIS cars have their own challenges, the DME cars are getting hard to source parts, as well, fuel injectors are unobtainium. I am using aftermarket and they are even getting hard to source.
Driving a 40 year old car has always had its challenges, be aware. Get an electrical problem prepare to be stymied, I have all the manuals and have been an Aircraft Mechanic since the early 90’s. In a 40 yer old car there will be gremlins, which are solvable, given enough time, either yours or your mechanics. Search my posts for some examples.
That being said they are going to bury me in my car…….
