Hi All,
Just a quick intro to you all. I am a spirited driver and this will be my first Porsche. I have previously been a fan of the Japanese products starting out with a Prelude VTEC followed by a Honda S2000 which I loved dearly (though I did have a couple of unexpected visits to the ditch during the wet ).
I then had a child and now we have a Bora V64Motion which the wife has now comandeered so it is time to car hunt again. I have always loved the look and appeal of Porsche cars and it looks like I might now be able to stretch to one.
It will be my daily drive so comfort and reliability are important as well as driveability. To this end after having read a number of posts here and some magazines too, I was thinking of a 964 Carrera 4. £15K is what I was looking to spend, though I met stretch if the finance deal is good.
As I am driving the car regularly and will clock somewhere between 15-20K miles/year I was considering getting a well maintained high miler as if I get a mint low mileage example I will just devalue it too much by clocking up the miles.
One I had spotted was this one;

Has anyone got any thoughts? Are my ideas absurd and if so what recomendation would you make?
Thanks to all in advance and i look forward to one day soon becoming one of you lucky few.
