such as PT Cruisers, idk 80s mustangs i think and some other random ones, but hows it different from non-touring edition or whatever?
Answer
It varies with the manufacturer, but the idea is that the Serious Driver, as distinguished from the usual run of freeway occupants, will want this set of extra-cost options.
For example: I drive a 2000 Infiniti I30. The I30t (Touring Edition) differs from the base ("Luxury") version in the following particulars: upsized tires (225/50R17 instead of 215/55R16), something resembling traction control, high-intensity lighting, and slightly firmer shock damping. The price difference was a shade over $2000.

What is the best car for cheap (later models) to fix up and sell for a profit for first timers?

I'm thinking like a 90-92 Lexus LS400 or a 85-90 IROC Z in a couple of years for when I'm 16 to work on.
Answer
Your best bet will be an older car (before everything was proprietary and controlled by computer chips), cheaper and available parts, not a luxury car. An 80s IROC probably fits the bill, an early 90s Lexus does not.
What you're talking about is not all that easy to do. The key is to only buy very, very cheap (certainly under $2K for the cars you're talking about, probably more like under $1200) and be able to do professional quality work (particularly where it shows, like paint and interior) that adds value that someone is willing to pay extra for. Even then, you're not likely to get rich doing it, at least not at first, but everyone starts somewhere.
Good luck!
