Buy low, sell high.
Best deal: Find a guy (like someone off this site) who ordered a car and got the options that they wanted and that you want (many dealer cars have only a few of the colors, white, silver black gray, etc and only came with a few options. (not many had
PASM, for example). I was lucky to find one at a dealer with the options I wanted (most of them). Pay a decent price (use Kelly Blue Book , etc). You will have a great car.
If you plan to track, you would want options that would help you at the track.
If not, get one with the most bells and whistles you like. Often those items cost a lot but do not figure in to the resale value.
Study this forum carefully to know what can be added later (exhaust, different tires/sheels, painted interior bits like console, etc.)
Then get car, then drive car and then smile. Often

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
