Buying a used sports car - Porsche or TVR?
My father, brother and I are looking to buy a sports car mainly for weekend driving. We are looking to spend around £25,000- £35,000 (maximum) and are looking at Porsche 911 997s and even some 996s. We have also thought about a TVR Tuscan or similar. What are the risks of the above and are we missing something obvious?

Always get a 997 over a 996, regardless of the spec of the 996. A TVR will be a lot more trouble, but some people like constantly working on them, which is why they buy them. See the car by car entries for what goes wrong and how much it can cost.
