Cheapest 996TT Around: 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo
Let’s get the disclaimers out of the way first. I’m going to say that for the sake of our friendship, I would never recommend that you purchase a salvage title Porsche Turbo with over 100K miles on the odo. However…if…IF…you wanted to get a 911 Turbo and you budget is 35 big ones…this is about the only way you will get into a car you could drive home. Will it cost you more in future maintenance? Absolutely. But if you want 420 horsepower, all-wheel-drive, and a 6-speed…this is it. Find this 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo offered for $35K in Santa Monica, CA via craigslist.

Buy a lightly used Civic Type R instead, and sleep well at night knowing your car will start the next morning.
You won’t get 420 HP but you will get original styling.
