Well, I wouldn't take it to Midas, but most repair shops can do it. I would take it to a specialty shop, there have got to be a few of them in Calgary.
Here are those pics, seems I can't link them. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/cos1580/l....src=ph&.view= I'd recommend a 968 or a 944 Turbo, personally... here are a few pics of those. You'd get to remind your friends that you drive a Porsche, and they don't  968     944 Turbo (951)

A good condition 944 Turbo goes for around $10K in american money, so yeah, you could afford it with $20-$23K canadian. Further, that would give you enough money left over to get 350-400hp out of it, a complete suspension kit, and some little upgrades, like 968 wing and door handles...
A 968 is a little more expensive, and not quite as fast, but very nice looking in my opinion. Figure $12K-$20K USD. The trick is to make sure you get one that has been well maintained. If you treat a Porsche nicely, it will be reliable and fast every day. If you abuse it, then you get to find out about expensive parts you didn't even know cars had

Well, they 968 was made between 92-95, and they are a little more expensive than the 944, because they are newer.
The 944 turbo was made between 86-91, but the US stopped getting it in 89, so 89 is the last year to get the 944 Turbo. It's also the best year, because it had turbo upgrades, bigger brakes, a standard LSD, all the goodies you could hope for. They made 250hp(in 89) stock, and can be modified to 400hp quite easily. The 87 and 88s are good as well, but they didn't have a lot of the standard options, and made 227hp. The 86 is a peculiar car, and one you should probably avoid. It was a mix of the old 944 and the new 944, and is the least desirable 944 turbo. So take your time, find an 89, and test drive it. You will never want to drive anything else
