You are asking for a lot in a small market. I would not discount the PDK, I got that transmission as my bride of 49 years has said no more "stick" driving for me and I need her to bring the Spyder to our auto crosses as I haul the trailer with all the autocross "stuff"
Sport buckets YES if the car you find has PCCB's don't turn away. better braking and reduced unsprung weight. I have the Porsche Sport exhaust and never turn it on would have rather had the stock exhaust and the flexibility to change.
For those not familiar with the 987 Spyder, we have driven ours all over the country. The top takes less than five minutes to put on and or off. With A/C it is comfortable and dry inside even in the hottest and or wettest climates. Have some other great PORSCHE sports cars but the Spyder is just so much fun to drive ..... of course I have enhanced some things

I also have the PSE and i rarely turn it off 
...
I even installed the carnewal switch so that i can keep it on at all times.
Happy to be able to swicht off the noise though, sometimes it gets annoing

Is this what your are looking for? https://porschehickory.com/inventory...na+2008+857518
I've drove it. I'm on my forth Boxster and I was surprised at how well it pulled. It has 3M whole hood and bumper.
I've bought two Porsches from them. Best guys to work with. They really take care of my friend and I. He gets a new Porsche once a year or so.
I'm not affiliated with them just a customer who works at a Bank and lives 80 miles away but drives there because they treat me right.

987.2 Boxster Spyder
I should have been clearer with my title.
Looking for a 987.2 Boxster Spyder
I've received some valuable feedback, thank you guys, and I think the Sport Chrono is not necessary with the 6mt, so it can come off the list.
Thanks

Buckets and manual are most important imho.
Pse can be retro fitted, sport chrono i never use, short shifter is nice but can also be retro fitted
Aircon?
Pdc? Reversing is a true gamble, i had a camera installed after the prev owner wrecked the rear bumper
Xenon?

Are you certain about this? I don't have sport chrono and my car maintains the same level of acceleration straight to the rev limiter. In fact the car pulls harder as the RPM's climb and the few times I have hit the rev limiter it was like hitting a wall the way the acceleration just cuts out.

Love the RS60, and almost bought one a few years back, but it's not the Spyder that the OP is looking for. Correct, he wants a 987.2 GT silver over red is great combo in the RS60. And 19K miles is low. That car should be able to be bought for $35K. Spyders like he wants are out there - be patient and he'll find what he wants.
