Depending how much you want to spend, think about an 06 987. I'm guessing it might run about $20k
I had a 99 and a 06 base and the 06 was a way better car in every way:
more power, better interior, better suspension and a more solid chassis.
Regarding the IMS, the reports of failures on the 987 are remarkably few, relative to the 986.

2002 base.
307K miles and counting.
Or if you want something newer a 2008 base. Last of the 987 models. (Back in spring of 2009 I bought a new 2008 Cayman S because I felt this was the pinnacle of the 986/987 line.)

It's amazing how you can burn a clutch out by launching/riding it badly one time, while if you are careful with it, it'll last 300k+. I mean, I can imagine 100k service life, but 300?! I've read that Ferrari F430 or Lambo Gallardo clutches last about 25k to 35k tops before needing a new one!...and that's if you don't abuse it.Quote

But, that's why you buy a Porsche. It's a "practical" sports car.

Porsche of Arlington (VA) has a used 2013, white F-car in the showroom. Sadly, it has only 3,500 miles on it (yes, the puppy was kept in the basement, it appears). The sticker did not have the price (if you have to ask, I guess you can't afford it. Even in white, it stands out. I'd buy one, but my wife already thinks I spend too much servicing my Porsche. Couldn't imagine what she'd think of the annual ownership cost of an F-car. They also have two beautiful, new 911 S Cabs (Lava Orange, and what I believe is Mexico Blue). They do stand out.
