964 turbo or 993 turbo.

What's the fixed sum?

I'd go a third route and get a 993 w/o turbo if you're set on rear-engine.

You'll get more bang/buck with the waterpumpers.

Hi

As to which one to buy, the best bet is to drive both. Money is
secondary to the decision really. There is something to be said about
the mid engine boxer engine in the Boxster S, as it is one of the best
handling cars in the world. The older model 911 turbo is raw and beefy,
awesome speed. However, the older model 911's do not come with the PSM
(Porsche Stability Management system) so you do risk spinning out and
they do have a much rougher ride. Convertible versus hard top,
different body styles- all beautiful in different ways.

993, a water pumper?

No, the way I read it, he's just stating that the water cooled cars
(944/996?/986, etc) are less expensive alternatives.

A late model Boxster S can be had for approx. $35K. The best you MAY
find would be a 964 Turbo for that money (92-94) if your very lucky,
else it will be a 930 of 80's vintage. What do you plan on doing with
the car? Weekend driver in traffic? DE's? Here's the key.. the 964
Turbo will most likely not depreciate at all, and may even appreciate
in value over the next 5 years. The Boxster will depreciate every
year.

Both are good cars, just depends on what your expectations are..

How much cash? Older 911 Turbos are very hard to resist, and hold their
value extremely well. Over the years you might be able to sell your Turbo
and get several cars, assuming you can part with it.
