I prefer the 996
The car market is a bit nuts now. The price of new/nearly new premium cars is what I find nuts. I think a lot is driven by the low interest rates.
My old man wanted to buy a friend's 1980s Porsche back in the mid-noughties for about £5k. I wish he had, but my mum vetoed it. Even more so as the friend bought new it just after I was born and liked the car so much he'd bought it back from the guy he sold it to in the 90s. I also think it was the first of the 3.2l sold in the UK.... I loved that car. Luckily from what I understand the current owner thoroughly appreciates it.

I wanted a 911 - it's a car I've promised myself since I was a child.
So I never really considered anything else.
For that 19.5k I could probably have got a higher mileage/early 997.
However, I prefer the 996 (the 997 is essentially a heavily facelifted 996).
