Default Seriously looking for the right 987 spyder

It must be:

White
Black or red interior
Lwb seats
6spd manual
100%original paint

Less than 15k miles

I'll pay what it's worth based on miles

I'm looking for a nearly flawless car. I've looked at a couple recently that were unbelievably worn for less than 10 k miles.

Thanks! I had one in 2011, and I miss it!

Steve

Love mine, but if I was starting all over I would put PSE on the list. Good luck with search.

There's a silver one in MA that matches up except color.

I don't think that car has AC. OP did not mention AC, but living in Chicago which I think has similar weather to NY, I would suggest buying one that has it.

While I didn't put pse on the list of musts, I'd surely like it, but it's not a deal breaker. Same goes with ac and radio... Have spoken with the guy on silver one, but I have 7 white cars, and would regret the "ugly duckling" after some time I'm sure. I love GT silver and actually think these cars look good in black and red too, but for me it's gotta be white!! Or a crazy wild pts color...but that is not happening I suspect.

I caved. With 7 white cars in the garage(s), I decided to go with a perfect black 2012 Spyder. One owner, lwb, 6spd. Sport exhaust, Super low miles, and absolutely perfect all original condition. Since this will be a very fair weather driver, I decided I could handle one black car. After an initial wash today, boy does basalt look really cool!

Congrats Steve! Well done. But remember - the rules haven't changed since you've been gone - no pics = no car. It didn't happen. Pony up.

Pics coming, I drove it home, and it got a little dirty, cleaned it up yesterday, but only had a enough time to clean the car thoroughly, not pick up the warehouse after the wash. Maybe today, definitely tomorrow for pics!!!
