Help making the RIGHT purchase...
 

I am looking to spend around 40 -45k for either a C4, C4S, or a Twin Turbo. Of course the higher end model with be slightly older with more miles (Turbo's I have seen 2000-2002 with about 40-55k miles) (C4 and C4S I have seen 2002-2004 with around 25-40k miles) Of course there are also the C2's that are a little newer and less miles in that same 40-45k price range. Again, these are typically asking prices and we all know that the economy has allowed some great purchases on these otherwise expensive machines:) Great timing if you ask me!

I love the look of the GT3, probably like everyone else, but I have found myself gravitating to a car that already has aftermarket suspension, exhaust, body kits, etc. From what I hear and know, this typically is not something to look for when making a secondary purchase as you don't know who installed it, etc. With this in mind, we all know that owning a Porsche can be expensive and I am really trying to minimize my outbound cash for up keep. Does this mean I should stay away from the TT as they cost more to repair? I have also read that all the 996 models have had their issues as well.

Any help here would be great! Again, looking to spend about 40-45k, of course something back of that would be great!

I have attached a few links to a couple of cars that I have looked at as well. Any feed back would be much appreciated!
