My choice (and by far the "Best Buy") of a car to "tool around in" would be a 996 Turbo.
They are GREAT buys today at $40K - $60K and are bound to appreciate substantially in the next few years. Having owned several of them, they are comfortable, highly reliable, fast and easily tuned to keep pace with most of today's Supercars.

Lane is right the 996TT is in a super sweet spot right now...
I prefer the 993 to the 964 so would suggest a base C2 MT Varioram car. 993 chassis is sweeter. Overall performance and build quality just a bit better. Leave it stock and it will treat you well financially and give you plenty is smiles. Assumes you like the 993 shape more (I do). Had mine 16 years and love it (modified version).

993 TTs are way too expensive IMO.
I would buy a 964 cheap and do a complete restoration : wider body,rebuilt engine and some modern touches. Just like a Singer on a budget.
At least that's what I'm planning at some point...

Thinking around 50-75k. Prob not lookin at a heavily modded, though that would be fun, more stock form with possibly an exhaust is all. Unless someone has modded a bit. I love the 993 Turbo's but who doesn't and the price dictates that of course. Seen some very expensive 993's.
i cannot stop driving my 86
it's dog slow, but i dont care. it has that "feel"
you either love it or hate it. my is 100% stock, soft, leans, like a rolling sofa... i would hate it if my RS felt that way, but with this old chic. i love it.

Good points Mooty. Lots to chose from. 3.2-993. I dont think you could go wrong with any of them. Only thing I would say is the later cars are probably easier to live with if using as DD or touring...
