Purchase decision

Hello, I know these kind of posts don't usually go anywhere... but Pelican has helped me with many ideas in the past.

I am looking in the 25-34K range for a 911. I have settled on an example from 2002-2004 and am leaning (if I can find one) toward a 40th AE.

There are some 2001-2 Turbos with about the same mileage (~40-60K) that are also calling to me.

This will be a nearly daily driver, so it will see lots of use and maybe the occasional autocross with the local PCA.

So... should I ignore the 996TT for maintenance reasons? Obviously insurance will be higher. Not that this is an investment, but would the turbo hang onto what's left of it's value better? Obviously, the 40AE is a limited model, but it too will (continue to) lose value with(or without) use.

Just looking for thoughts.

Thanks!
