forget the purple one... Go for this one.... A no brainer if you want an early car...
I still think that for your 1st 911 you want a decent SC. You can find them in your price range...
You do not NEED to buy it now. The search is half of the fun.
Plus you could polish your stick driving abilities.
Oh and as a side note we just spent $2k to fix a "MINT" 20k miles 993.... These cars are expensive... Parts are expensive, specialize labor is expensive...
Get a car in decent running condition.
