This one has PDK/PTV. No X73, but it is much better optioned than the above GTS. This car is also fairly close to you (~300 miles). X73 can be added to non-PASM cars post-purchase, but I believe 981 GTS cars all came standard with PASM, so if X73 is an absolute must, then this car is not for you.
This one has PDK/X73/PTV and is also very well optioned. It is also a private party so significantly cheaper than the above two.

Best of luck!

Thanks for looking for me. I would love for anyone to find the right car.

I’m pretty active on Autotrader. I was excited about the Ohio car until I found out that adding the suspension would have been really complicated. Other folks have done/tried that conversion, with mixed success, as far as I can tell.

Regarding the other cars, I’ve heard some questions about the dealer. And, I would want to see a privately owned car live - with what’s going on these days, traveling that far.....sigh.

Anyway, thanks for keeping me in mind. There must be someone with a GTS reasonably close to Chicago that wants to sell!

PM'd you. I have a 2015 Cayman GTS in agate grey with PDK, PTV, but it's PASM instead of PTV. Sent you the details and some photos. Take a look and let me know what you think!

hope to hear from you!

Don't all 981 GTSs have PTV standard? Probably better than half are PDK. Don't know about X73 or its popularity.

Is your car really that hard to find?

I’m sort of talking tongue in cheek, but it is actually harder to find than I expected. PTV isn’t standard, and neither is PDK or the suspension. You can find a lot of cars that have two of the three options, but a car with all three is much less common.

Good luck, I'm on the hunt for a 6-speed version myself. Will post if I come across any meeting your criteria in my search.

@SturmZoot this one seems to meet your criteria, and at a good price. Not sure location, and says sale pending, but may be worth reaching out: https://mart.pca.org/ads/45246

Thanks. I’ve talked to him - good guy. I forget what exactly, but although it does have the right equipment, it wasn’t a good match.

I have a very highly optioned ($90k MSRP) 2014 981 CS I would consider selling. It's MT with PTV, PASM, SE, SC, silver pedals and white dials. Agate Grey over black. Just under 36k miles.

@SturmZoot found this one this morning down here in Texas. Mileage is on the higher end of what I've seen, but it is very well optioned, including PDK, PTV and sport suspension:
