Boxster. Had 2. Both 986 models.

A 2.5 and a 3.2S. For 10k you'll get a good car, not sure exactly what as i'm not as clued up on the prices as I was but an early 2.7 987 isn't far off 3.2S 986 power and is a much nicer car in terms of looks and interior.

They all drive superb, and I mean REALLY well, different league to anything Ford i've been in. They sound superb as well. There'll be loads of hairdresser etc comments to follow i'm sure but drive one and make your own mind up. Buy on condition and history, they do lots of miles very easily.

Early 3.4 996's. as said above, avoid. If you want a 996 get a 3.6 but you'll struggle for 10k.
