The best Porsche website for straight-up advice is Pelican.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com
Their website has forums for all the Porsche models, but the most entertaining forum is the Off Topic forum. You didn't hear about this from me..

Actually, I have to disagree totally. Saying the non-turbo models "aren't worth a ****" is a pretty broad statement. If you drove a boxster, id agree with you, but I have driven an 86 911SC and 996 Carrera and loved both. If you are make judgement soley based on HP, top speed, etc, im sure you could always raise the "I could just buy a Z06" argument. Hell, you could spent 10k on a civic and 5k on NOS and "smoke" a Porsche. But, your not driving a Porsche. And thats whats its all about. You are not buying a minivan, not a truck, not a family car. The Porsche is pretty much in a class by itself. You buy a Porsche because you WANT a Porsche, not because it was the best deal, most practical, most family fun, biggest cupholders, etc.
"porsche, there is no substitute"

I drove a few 01-04 carreras carerra 4, and 4s's. I was unimpressed by them. For $70k they can keep them. There are nicer cars out there.
My main argument was for the money he is looking to spend there are way nicer cars out there then a 80k mile porsche
