I totally agree with epbrown!
I've driven any number of 80's 911's as daily drivers over the years and they are easy to work on and reasonably comfortable, but as a daily driver in traffic on a rainy or hazy, hot & humid day, like today..I'll take my S2 any day of the week with working AC and a gearing that allows 2nd & 3rd at ridiculously low speeds for those heavy traffic days. It's also not bad in snow either. Plus it gets 26 to 32 mpg every day. I'm coming up on my 3rd year of ownership and about 34k miles. I like the drive feel of the 968, but I don't have any extended first hand experience with one as a daily driver. I would also tend to shy away from a Boxster under the year 2000 which pretty much leaves them out of your price range. Best thing to do is go out a drive a few cars, you'll figure out the right one to pick soon enough. If you do decide to go with an S2 or 968, just make sure it's got lots of service history. They are Porsches after all and Porsches do cost some money to keep on the road as a daily driver, more so than a weekender.
Good luck and let us know what you finally end up with!
