[newbie] What;s the "best" 2.0 Conv. and what to look for

1st of all - if there is a forum or faq that covers this - please excuse and point me in the right direction.

I am looking for a fund car to replace my everyday 2.0 focus and my weekend

911SC - I want a fast (ish) convertible - hence I am drawn to the 93.

Simple questions, what's the best model year (99 onwards), model (lpt, "hot" whatever that means) and what should I watch for, what options are worth having - what causes trouble, what should I look for in the service history etc. buy private, buy from dealer etc.

I guess I am am looking for perceived wisdom from you guys.

Any advice appreciated - mail direct at paul_peard-at-hotmail-dot-com if you don't want to clog the group.

Thanks

Paul

There's a TSB on an A/C valve that causes a groan.
