Where do you live? Would you ever need AWD? What do you plan on using the car for? Track use? Weekender? Daily driver?
I would suggest picking up a Porsche Buyer's Guide of some sort from Amazon. That way you will have all model info in front of you at once. The one I have also list the common problems with each model year.

Might want to avoid the first Glass Roof Targa's... Roof mounted from the outside, and didn't seal well at speed and was heavy, and ... well you get the idea...
I personally would not have a C4 if they gave it to me... My all wheel drive GMC is more enjoyable to drive than the C4's I have driven...
Now, if you would happen to come across a Diamond Silver '97 / '98 C2S, with full burgundy leather, and less than 50K on the Odo (see other thread:>))), I would be inclined to get my checkbook out and start scribbling...
Oh, keep in mind that you will probably want to upgrade the suspension to a set of Bilstein PSS9's... A VERY NICE way to fly! Take your time in setting them up to get the best out of them, but they are certainly the hot ticket for these Porsches...

I would agree with whomever posted to get a buyers guide, and I would add that you should do a good bit of research on ALL model years across the board to get a good idea on what each offers.

It does depend on the budget as the late 993s often cost more then the early 996s. The price of the 95 993s is coming down and a nice example can be had for the upper 20s. Make sure to get a good history-although that might be lost for some over 10 yo cars, and a PPI is mandatory.
