What Porsche up to around £30k

I suppose about the same as running and maintaining a 450bhp Impreza in tip top condition, by supercar standards almost peanuts (unless something serious breaks). You can't consider doing much work on the Porsche yourself though. Keeping the service schedule up to date via a dealer or specialist and keeping all receipts is vital to maintain its value. Unfortunately I was running both and one had to go. I think I sold the wrong one though!

My X50 cost me a fortune over 2 years, and it was low miles and incredibly well looked after.
Not exactly thrilling to drive either, after the initial '**** me it's fast'.

I've only managed to find one under £60k so far, so in reality it may well be a first generation 9997 turbo (manual)
Just a couple more weeks until I can go shopping for one properly.

I have got resale value to consider to, and I'd personally shy away from a modded one, even though there is a 997 TT with 720 BHP for sale at the moment..

If you want it primarily as a weekend car, I wouldn't get a turbo - not as good to drive and doesn't sound as good as a C2S, Cayman R or Spyder.
Assuming your budget is now nearer 40k, I think you owe it to yourself to test drive all of these (including a turbo) before you part with your cash. Then it's simple - buy the one you like best.
That's exactly what I did a few years ago and bought the Spyder, a perfect weekend car and also a future classic if ever there was one!
