I bought a 2001 Boxster last summer for $11K with decent miles (6x,xxx), lots of records and the IMSB done. I bought it to drive to the Porsche Parade in Vermont (3,000 miles worth of driving). Absolutely zero issues so far.
You probably won't get that for a $10K 996. For that kind of 996 you'll be closer to $20K....

A quick search and yes, you are correct, a decent 996 will run $20K
But I have some criteria:
I'm turning 60 in a few months and retiring (i.e. getting rid of the appliance commuter car and getting a fun car) in two years so 996's will have come down a bit by then.
As much as I love the top down experience my ownership of the Miata cured me of that (blond, blue-eyed, balding, middle age dude doesn't need the sun beating down on his head,)
And I'm noting Cayman's are dipping into the $20K range (however at +60 I may be more into a GT ride than a sports car).
Sorry for the hijack... back to Boxster prices.
