As you will see there are some differences between years from 2001 on. Thought this might help in your decision making.

Wow, good reference article. Cost of brakes is huge in 996-7s. Could explain some of the difference in pricing.

Your money is burning a hole in my pocket. Have you gotten any further with that blue Turbo in Westchester, NY I linked you to? My (comparatively uninformed) thought was that, if everything checked out, it might be a decent buy at 40-42k.

Best of luck with your search - David

If you are into super low mileage cars:
$53k for a 2003 Turbo with 11k miles.

The price on those mods is overblown and that wood interior is... well... not great.

Yeah I noticed he was a little high on that stuff

And the wood is nasty but the fact is it's a Turbo 996 for under 40K and it looks clean. Hell if we didn't just buy our 02 I may have gone and looked at this one haha.
