looking for my next 911, not a lot of choice
Discussion
So I am looking for my next car, 20k budget which offers me a limited amount of options.
I have always been into lightweight track type cars but my needs have changed and I want something I can get my 20 month old son in and use daily. Looking for something that looks and sounds lovely, but also can give me a spirited drive.
I need to get out of it in 12-18 months and will probably move to a 997GTS.
I love the look of the 996C4s but will consider 993 which is all I can think of.....
Am I missing anything?

If you need to get out of it in 12-18 months you'd be better with one of the lower volume 911.I have always been into lightweight track type cars but my needs have changed and I want something I can get my 20 month old son in and use daily.

I'd look at both 964 and 993 ideally C2 manual.
They're both fun, easily used daily and sort after in C2 guise!
Hmmm well a GTS will still be circa 50k in a year? So you want to buy something for up to 20k, get your money back and find another 30k? Just wait a year :-). If you must spend £20k then a 996 C4S is a lovely car and think they sell easily. Suggest trying a 993 or older first - I prefer modern.

Thanks, had a nice 964 for the last 2 years so am tempted to try a 993.I'd look at both 964 and 993 ideally C2 manual.

Finding one within budget could be a problem!

Cant have a year without a car, even if I only do 5k miles its something to look at, clean and take a trip to the gym in its will be worth it.Im not silly enough to think Im going to get my money back, ease of selling in a year is more attractive.
996C4s is immense value at 20k.

There's a lovely Zanzibar 2001/2 facelift 996 C2 at Cridfords for £17k which u should look at. They're lovely cars and perfect with young families as more space than a 993.
Saw that, does look nice. Good mileage too.Im worried i would be tempted to modify it. I have form in this area.
No sunroof too.

You will get a fine 993 for £20k if you are flexible with mileage. It is'nt everything.Finding one within budget could be a problem!
Buy on condition.

Missed a lovely red manual C2 a few months ago, what I wouldnt give for one of these.
