Default WTB 981 Cayman -- Manual preferred

Year: 2014
Make: Porsche
Model: Cayman
Mileage (numbers only please): 1
Color: Any
Price (no $ sign please): $1
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): Texas
Body Style: Coupe
Transmission Type: Manual - 6 speed
2 or 4 Wheel Drive?: 2 Wheel Drive
Engine Type: Fuel Injection
Stereo System: AM Radio

Fellow RLers:

I'm starting my search for another Cayman 981. Drove a base and an S today and am absolutely in love with the gear box. (A PDK S at the right price, with an absolute perfect options list, might sway me in that direction, but I really, really want a manual.)

I like the value of the base model, but (naturally) love the extra pep in the S. Also, I doubt seriously I'll find a base with all of the options I want, but I'm open to one, if it comes along.

Looking to stay around $50k.

Must haves:
-manual transmission
-any color other than black (too dang hot for TX), white (have had two white Caymans and they're beautiful in white, but just looking for a change), or Guards Red (not to be confused with Carmine Red. Carmine Red is actually a front runner).
-auto A/C
-PSC
-PSE
-20" wheels
-park assist
-PASM or X73 sport suspension
-sport seats PLUS

Would like to haves (in no particular order):
-PDLS
-sport design steering wheel
-elec seats
-model delete from trunk
-no license plate holes drilled in front bumper
-Racing yellow, Carmine Red, or Rhodium Silver
-GTS style (smoked-ish) tail light covers
-those evil, hate-inducing, orange front turn markers already replaced with the heavenly clear, LED ones
-something close to Texas
-red or yellow seatbelt and/or gauges (depending on the paint color)
-seat ventilation
-full leather
-transferable CPO

Thanks!

GPd

Thanks for asking, Silver -- I didn't even think to mention it. Want to stay under $55,000. Post updated above to reflect...

That said, this will be my third Cayman and I know the model inside and out. So, please, no one contact me trying to sell me a $55,000 base model.

Found it, but I think that's GR. Can't tell for sure from the pictures. In the sun, it looks like GR, but in the pics with less light, it looks closer to CR. ?

It sure checks off a *LOT* of boxes. However, 55 for a base, no matter how many options, just doesn't make sense to me. It's a gorgeous 981 though.

GingerPowered,

Not sure if you've found a car yet but over this past weekend I just decided to sell mine and took a quick look at the RL marketplace and found your thread. I have a 2015 Base with an interesting set of options. Here is a link to some basic photos including the build sheet rather than recap it all here. PM me if you have any interest but suffice it to say I plan to offer it for below $50k... https://randylervold.smugmug.com/Cars/Cayman/

It has just under 11,000 miles at present.

Oh, BTW, it has CPO and I'm pretty sure it is transferable.

Thanks, Randy, but white is on my deal-killer list. Not because I dislike white, I'm just ready for a change in color.
