I've been kicking around some deals, and was hoping to get some advise from some 996/997 guys. I'm trying to stay in driving distance from Ohio.

So I can trade my xp1k4(sxs) and boot cash putting me in around $27.5k for a 2005 Carrera 4S w/51k miles, multiple owners. I like that I don't have to mess with an atv sale, and get tax bennies on the trade. It's 4 hrs away though.

OR there is a 2000 911 Carrera w/ 65k miles. $21k(maybe $20.5K). This one is 45 mins away.

Both Silver, both Carrera, manual. Both look, and are described as clean, and issueless. Both probably do not have IMS status, or much history besides the Carfax.

Assuming both run, shift, drive well. No leaky main seal area, etc, what else should I be looking for?

What are the thoughts on these 2, or similar cars? I never really thought about AWD 911 before
