Just for the record the 997 pre-facelift i.e. version one was also subject to a number of issues, the 997 is far better looking 911 and big improvement on the 996, especially when you moving from a more recent car like your 335.
So if opting for the 997 make sure you have good check-up done, the early 996 are a higher risk for sure down to the fact Porsche was to go down and was only saved by coming out with the boxer.
The best 911 scenario if not limited in budget is 997 2nd generation.
I am looking for the same, a 991 manual as I and my wife miss the manual gear box, the Porches 911 996 was the one I was going for but after extensive research and a number of magazines and articles I am now more incline to go for a 997, remember the difference in price can be blown away on the amount of issue you may end-up having to spend on a 996.
But of course after few treads too, I am now also considering a fare safer option, cheaper to run and must admit one of the best looking cars, a Z4 M with a manual gear box, will not have the whow factor of the 911, but fare more exclusive car and reliable too. In other words I am still confused, the only down side is 2 seater only, like the 911 4 seats so I can take my kids for rides with me, or down to weekend sports and all.
