Hello there,

With a budget of £13.5-14K (maximum) with which to buy a car for everyday use, which is likely to have the lowest running costs from the cars listed above. Annual mileage is around 12-13K.

If you are going for everyday use get a Boxster with a hard top it'll be more economical on fuel ;the service intervals are longer , it wouldn't require major mechanical or body work and it'll be an easier drive.However I prefer to keep my SC for special occasions and tool around in a £500 Volvo the rest of the time.
I drove a mates 964 the other day and that is a very nice car to drive.It still feels special like a proper 911 but everything is just that little bit easier for everyday use.They are also in your price range.
I'd go for a test drive in a 964 before I made up my mind if I were you.

Don't forget Boxsters still depreciating. I'm with Steve: the classic for fine/special days and cheap hack/company car for crappy ones is the way I go, but forced to chose an everydayer for £14k it would be a LHD Carrera 2, just because things like clutch and gearshift are better, ventilation is much improved, you can easily get ABS and heated seats and above all it's a 911.
