#3 is my choice.
On the cab: remember if you plan to do any DEs, you must add a rollbar. At least that is the rule in our PCA chapter. (Unless it is a 996 or 997 or Boxster with auto roll bars).

I think that the previous comments are correct - you are either a coupe or cab guy. For me it would be #1 or #3. I also believe that #3 may be high, so I would save money go for #1 and negotiate hard on price.
Have you actually driven these 3 cars? When I was looking, I quickly eliminated cars just by driving them. You should drive all 3 if you have not done so and report back your thoughts...... A couple cars I drove felt "tired".... Maybe the suspension upgrades will be too harsh? The cars should feel different the way they handle - what do you prefer?

How long do you plan to own the car? If it's a keeper, then $$ is less of a consideration. If you turn over your cars often, I'll go #1, less capital to loose. Also most Rennlisters will tell you that miles is less important if the car is religiousely maintained.
My RUF came with 97k miles. I will admit that I have spent a fair penny on it since, but the original price was an absolute steal, mainly for the high miles and the 1995 vintage.
Personally I am leary about soft-tops, so I'm a coupe guy. For me, #2 will not be a consideration.
Good luck.

1 or 3. I like three first, but one would also be fine. No cabs for me, I prefer the coupes. You should really drive each of them, and then decide. Sometimes similar cars drive way different, and that would be a big deciding factor.

i'd go with #1. new clutch, updated suspension, best wheels (MY02 5 spokes are the coolest wheels for the 993, imo) and it is the least expensive --even if you had to do a top end rebuild, #1 would still be cheaper than #3...

By the way, those look like MY '02 Carrera lightweights, not Cups... a very nice (and not cheap) upgrade, IMHO

if you have ZERO intention of taking the car to the track and ONLY want a fun nice day weekend car, go with the cabrio.. you won't be disappointed with the top down drives.. (but if you think you ever want to give the track a try, don't even consider the cabrio IMHO)
