Would consider stepping up for an '05 S or even a 997
Close to the west coast is a plus but not critical.
Couple of sample photos for your reference - the one that got away . . .

 

Have a midnight blue myself, it's a great color. Mine has graphite gray interior. Gray was not my first choice, but I actually grew fond of it. If a midnight blue comes up that's checks all the boxes don't let interior be a hang up. It's a color that typically does not come up very often.

 

This was in the Craigslist thread, price seems high but it meets your list of wants.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Yes - looking into NC x50.

 

I've never heard of a 3rd gear pop out issue...only 2nd.

Typo or something else...?

 

​​​​​​​could be typo but track guys have problems with 3rd gear as does midnight racers.

 

996's didn't, however those are 997 Adaptive Sport Seats in the car. Easy to tell 997 seats from 996 seats by looking at the headrest and the crescent shaped indentation where the back meets the headrest. Those are definitely 997 *** (chuckle) as stated in the ad.

HUmmm I know someone with a car like that. I'll ask him.

 

That one got away from me as well. Good Luck.

I found this one recently:
