I would probably have to dress up the 996 interior with either paint or wood trim. It doesn't look as bad with light wood trim. We didn't want a 2005 since the interior is pretty much exactly as our Boxster S. It would not feel like a "new" car. It would even look the same looking outside the windshield. Also, we weren't interested in a regular 911 since it wouldn't have that "wide body". But you can get a 2005 911 Carrera (not the "S") for $45k.
You're right, the interior of the 135 is better. I also love the "fat" steering wheel of the 135.
