Happy hunting!

Not that you asked, but here is my advice:
1. Look for a leather interior. It's worth it IMO as it makes the car feel more premium (to be fair I'm not a fan of Alcantara).
2. Figure out what options can be added later versus which ones cannot. I.e. things like Sport Chrono are better installed from factory. PSE can be retrofitted.
3. Figure out what is nice to have versus need to have. Sport PASM would have been a nice to have for me but is rarer to find, so I ultimately ended up with a car with just regular PASM which I'm ok with.
4. GTS's command quite the premium on the used market compared to S's, especially for lower mileage cars. GTS's also had much lower production numbers for a smaller number of production years.

Great advice, When I was looking for a 991.1 my must have was No sunroof and a stick shift.
I did not care about any other options, I ended up with a base 991.1 with a lot of other cool stuff. After buying it I sold my 997.1 GT3 and 993 C2S. It’s been four years, longest I had ever owned a car.

Good luck with your hunt.

Wanted to thank the entire Porsche community for all their help tracking one down. Brought home a 991.1 C4S with only 12K miles in beyond mint condition. It came to me via someone that read my similar post on PCA and had a family friend with the car that didn't want to deal with listing/selling it and was about to put it on Bring a Trailer.

Had every trim option I would have ordered save for the PSE, but the Fister/Sharkwerks bypass combo arrives on my doorstep today. This is my first and I couldn't be any happier with the car or the buying experience.
