There was an article a while back in Excellence that compared three Porsches that
could be purchased for around $15K: early Boxster, 968 and 911 Carrera or SC.
If I remember correctly, the writers favored the 911 which was slightly modded.
I really doubt one could find a 911 like the one in the test for $15k but they seemed to think it hit the profile.
The are all great cars but vastly different in terms of driving and functionality.
I currently own a 1982 911 Targa, 1994 948 coupe and a 1997 Boxster.
For me the 968 is the preferred daily driver of my group. It has great performance, room for golf clubs/bike. good a/c and heat and surprising gas mileage if driven reasonably (not often). It's the Porsche I don't worry about in that its quite reliable but not so nice that another stone chip flips me out. The maintenance is not cheap so make sure you find one with good records and no major needs unless its priced accordingly.
Having said that, my favorite of the bunch is the 911 - it doesn't get driven much but it puts a smile on my face every time. The Boxster is a nice and fun car but a convertible as a daily driver is not for everyone.
