Had a disappointing experience with Boxster S ownership about 10 years ago, but the Porsche fire has never been completely extinguished.

That said I really don't know a lot about them.

If I wanted a weekend fun car in the form of a 911 or whatever model numbers are that shape (996? 997?) as I call them all 911s probably incorrectly could I get something nice for £25K and would £2.5K a year be enough for maintenance bearing in mind it will do around 5K miles a year.

Sorry it's such a vague question, but I know every little about the nuances of these really.

How old a car are do you want? Air cooled or water? Coupe, targa, cab? 2wd, 4wd? Gearbox?
Well preferably 15 yo maximum. Coupe rather than targa/cab.

2wd/4wd - is one much better than the other. I kind of think 2wd is the Porsche 'way'.

Manual/auto - again which works best? Manual would be more what I would expect a Porsche to be, but I could be talking nonsense.
