I was you 3 months ago. IMO you are asking all the right questions. My advice is to take your time and find YOUR car, don't settle or rush into it emotionally - at the same time, don't overthink it. It's clear you want this car. Walk away if it doesn't feel right and DEFINITELY get a PPI from a PORSCHE SHOP that knows the 996. You want a well maintained car with all records and only a couple owners tops. Speak with the mechanic who has worked on the car - ask questions. Expect to have to put a couple bucks in after purchase (negotiate obvious needs off PP to offset) - I made a budget that included purchase price and work I knew needed to be done / wanted done. I drive my 2000 996 C2 daily (30 mi) and LOVE IT. Best purchase EVER. Very DIY friendly car and super fun to work on - within the first week I did the engine mounts, trans mount, plugs, filters, oil etc. I am lucky in that regard - there is a DIY shop near me with lifts, tools etc.
To sum this up -- "It's so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." FB
