If you're willing to search and be patient I recommend buying a prepped car. Look for a 996 that has a rollbar, seats, and suspension work etc already done. Let somebody else take the hit. While aforementioned doesn't sound like much it will cost an additional half your initial outlay for a 996 to add these things after the fact.

The other consideration here is that you can get a newer Cayman near about what you would pay for a 996. The concept of buy as new as you can afford has merit. Food for thought.
