So I would suggest that you set your budget and then go and drive every model that you can and select the latest model that you can afford, if it is in good condition depending on your ability to maintain it.

Don't be afraid to walk away from a model if you are not happy and when you do select a model definately have a PPI.

If you subscribe to this theory then the S4 are better than the 928, 928 S, S2 and S3, then there is the GT (manual only) and then the GTS. All models other than the GT comes in manual and auto.

When you say the 1995 GTS is the best, I've conversed with several knowledgeable 928 mechanics who would argue with that assumption. I know that the 1995 is the most expensive if you can find one. Many mechanics prefer the 5.0L engine to the 5.4L

I suggest that you count on allocating about $2,000 to $4,000 at a minimum for the first year of preventative maintenance. This will leave you with about $8,000 to $10,000 for the actual purchase of the car.

Here is my example of how things can add up especially during the first year of maintenance:
