As far as the Cayman R, I never found the example that was perfect for me. Some higher millage examples were offered. I did receive a sale offer on the most beautiful low millage R I have seen to date, but the ask was 75k (and reasonably so), which unfortunately is more than I was looking to spend.
In lieu of the low R supply I believe that I will be going for a new M2 instead. I am excited about this car and believe it will make for a great dd. I am currently deciding between a LBB w DCT and performance exhaust or a performance edition (which comes w the sports exhaust and performance coilers, but the only color option is white).
Thanks for the help guys.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the replies. I definitely got a number of options both low millage and LWB for the Spyder -- but ultimately decided that since it will be my daily car the Spyder just isn't practical enough.

I sold my GT4 and kept my R (manual, buckets, PTS orange) and havent regretted it s single day. It has such a connection and is much more challenging to drive fast, which I see as a positive. You can't beat the hydraulic steering feel either.
I've tracked a new M2 at Laguna, its very capable but would/could never have the emotional connection of the R. I searched for 2 years to find this car, I know its hard but maybe give it a bit more time.....?
Goodluck either way...
