As for the drive the 964 has a little more classic/raw 911 feel than the 993 but are quite similar (both 3.6L, same transmission feel, interior layout etc...)
If your looking for a sorted/clean C2 Coupe (even with 100k miles) expect to pay over $50k + these days. Ones that will need some sorting but are clean you might be able to find in the $40s.

The 964 is not even close to being the last of the original design. It's not the original design at all. Those were are are 1989 G50s.
Like Matt said, the 993 is a much better car. It just is. The years the 964 was cobbled together at the factory were very dark years for Porsche. I know, I visited there in December of 1992.
The 964 was nothing but a test bed mule that had a lot more polishing to go. Many new regulations required the 911 to go the 964 route - and they (Porsche) had no money in the early 1990s to do anything, much less anything right. People didn't have the money for 911s like they did in the '80s. Heck, Porsche couldn't even get their act together in sealing up the engine, which was very unusual for them.
I would go 993 all the way. It's what the 964 should have been, and would have been if the world was going right.
