The 991.1 had a PDK-rigged seven-speed manual transmission, which was horrible compared to the Getrag 6MT in the M3 and is still the one fitted to the car today. And now the 991.2 has a small turbocharged engine. Not to mention the fact that they have gotten huge. Sadly, today's 911 is nothing like the 911s that made the car iconic. With all of this said, I certainly agree with you that OP should have test driven the car first!
Ok, I'm not a Porsche expert, but to the best of my knowledge the 997 generation ended in 2008 and the 991.1 started in 2009.
