Prefer Socal/local cars... PM me what you have. I have this idea of a back to basics car for the summer... loved my 981 Spyder, sold it like an idiot.

Must haves:
Manual
AC (sorry purists lol I'm old)
Anything other than black, no black cars

Nice to have:
Buckets

Miles, even minor (if fully documented) paintwork I don't care too much about (no big hits tho)

If I like it I pay quick, cash/wire. NO drama.

Thx.

Manual and buckets were my only two requirements, good choice. Only 3% of the Cayman R models were without AC. I'm not sure about the 987 Spyder.

tbo my only must have would be manual. buckets you can install oem/recaro as you like later on. Agree in soal ac is must have if it's not your quick morning drive only car.

Bummer. About ready to list my R, dark blue metalic. But its pdk. Came with sport seats but i purchased the LWB for it after purchase. If you change your mind about transmission let me know

Spyerx

@clib please send me / post some details. I care less about what came with car. I don't even know definition of stock. Maybe I consider a pdk...

the 987 spyder on bat that closed yesterday only hit 50k. clean car but no ac is a big turnoff.

In New Zealand, we have six Spyders. Five have air conditioning. The one without air conditioning is changing hands regularly. It also has no stereo. Make of that what you will.

Those were my two first Spyder builds and I never, here in the PNW, missed it. Maybe the RARE dat when it got blazing hot. But not for Cali or Florida. But each to there own.

We have another factor, high UV, which makes open top driving uncomfortable in full sun. However, as you say, each to their own.

Zeus993

Yes, 100%. I always wear by white Posrsche Le Mans winning hat... while driving Gen-1 Spyders.

Sure thing - short version - can send more if interested, just PM me.
2012 Porche Cayman R, Dark Blue Metallic with Beige interior, PDK, 62,000 miles. $50,000
Second owner – purchased CPO from Porsche in 12/14 with 48,000 miles. Original options: Leather, sport chrono, dynamic cornering xenon lights. Mostly fun drives in summer and 12 PCA HPDE events, generally 1 day each event. The car is in very good shape. All receipts since I purchased with regular service at either the dealer (including 60K mile service) or a local independent Porsche specialist and PCA sponsor.

Significant repairs performed while I have owned it:
-Windshield and radiator replaced (both stone chips)
-PDK unit replaced by Porsche Minneapolis (Summer 2021)
-Rebuilt/repainted rear calipers by PMB Performance due to fading
-New OEM rotors & pads/sensors

Modifications to improve driving or reliability which include:
-GT3 Master cylinder
-GT3 front lower control arms: allow more camber in alignment
-Tarret adjustable sway bar/drop links (front/rear)
-PDK transmission side cooler from LN Engineering (https://lnengineering.com/products/s...ide-mount.html): reduce transmission temps (paranoid)
-Front spoiler screens

Wear/tear notes:
Some stone chips typical for the mileage. I put abbreviate PPF on when I bought the car but was a daily driver from first owner. Some scuffs on the beige soft finish especially in rear storage compartment. PSE remains in open position. Left front wheel has some light marks.

Now THAT is a beautiful CR...

Rennsport cap for me

Zeus993

That looks like a nice B-road!

I live on the coast in Socal, so it's never too hot, really, and I drive 2 old 911s with no ac. I just prefer it for when I go inland. most around town driving would be top down, but I also burn, easily, which frankly was part of the reason I sold my 981 spyder. so maybe I have a short memory :-) or maybe I'll wear a hat and use sunscreen more...
