I really think people should read the OP's posts more clearly. His mate doesn't want anything older than a 964 and is NOT a DIY sort of fellow.
Discussions of 914s and 911SCs are irrelevant to this guy. And they are truly apples and oranges to something like what is going to the 996 market in the next decade. The former cars are air cooled classics made in limited numbers before Porsche went mainstream. The 996 is the beginning of mass production for Porsche. 996s are never going to be collectible unless it is a Cup or GT3 variant.
That doesn't kill this guy's idea of how to cost effectively own one of these cars. But comparing owning an SC from near new to a 996 or 997 just doesn't work.
