When I bought my 1997 965 it was only after some years of perusing the BB posts on 960's of all vintages.
A large number of changes were made beginning with the 1995 or 1996 model years. Many were in the engine (improved timing belt, and others) and some are body changes.
I personally would stay away from any 960 older than the 1996 model. After that there were some changes, but relatively minor. Even between the 1997's and the 1998 V/90 S/90 some changes were made even though 1998 is their last year.
My 1997 965 now has 204,800 miles, and my (wifemobile) S/90 has 156,400 miles. I have paid for maintenance and fair were and tear repairs. Nothing else so far.
Good Luck,
Bob
