If you are looking for a reasonably priced, reliable used sports car -- where things like the A/C work -- you can do worse than a 996 or a Boxster.
I've seen a few 996s in the mid to high teens in nice condition, with the IMS done. I think there is a thread on one somewhere here. I think $14-15 will likely be the depreciation floor for these cars. (excluding wrecks, ragged/flogged examples, or those with 150k on them.)
There are a lot of low mileage examples out there, and if the IMS/Clutch, AOS, and cooling system have been seen to, they are very reliable cars.
That is a lot of car for the money. A completely different driving & ownership experience from an air-cooled car.
Comparing the two is a question do I want a classic car or a modern car -- not really "what kind of 911 do I want".
