Opinions sought on AWD 911 45-55k range

[fflump]

The title says it all really.
Currently suffering from a 911-sized itch too scratch. Budget around 45-55k.
Needs to be AWD as will be driven in Scottish winters. Plus I already have a RWD family saloon.

Higher end of budget gets into 991 Carrera 4(S) range.
Lower end of the budget is in 997.2 Carrera 4S territory
Somewhere in between is the 997.1 Turbo.

Does anyone have any views as to what they'd get?

Kind of surprised how small the price differential is between 997.2 Carrera 4S and 997.1 Turbo.

991 Carrera 4/4S: top end of budget around £54k

Not that I like the wheels on the link below but for me it would be a 997 Turbo for me:

Out of all the ones you posted, I'd go for an older Turbo, specifically this one

Also, it's been up for sale since July, so bid them - you could end up with a good deal


edit: I like this one too, because manual

Thanks a lot both-I do like manuals, and failing that would prefer the PDK to a Tiptronic, the latter probably would feel inferior to the 8-speed ZF box in my other car.

I'll admit to not getting quite so excited by 911s as a lot of others do, but I have friends who have had a few...(one even found a Turbo boring...that was because it was so clinically capable)
...personally, I would go for a 991...

that'd get you a 997 turbo.

I do like the targa also.
