I’m a german car guy and I’d tell you to buy the C5, or an S54 M Roadster (unless you plan on going turbo, then get the S52). ---

Something you didn’t mention… miles. I mean, you can find some amazing cars for $20k, but they may have 80000 miles on them. If you’re going to spend 20k, and finance it for probably 48+ months, you don’t want something with a lot of miles. A 1997 Boxter with 50000 miles is going to be a 13 year old car with about 100000 miles on it by the time you’re done with 48 months of payments. (a little over 12k a year).
