Third-Gen (981) 2012-2016. That gives the NA flat-6 instead of a turbo flat-4.
6-MT instead of PDK.
Under 40,000 miles.
Base instead of S (the Minister isn't a speed demon and doesn't care about the extra power).
Color TBD as long as it's NOT black or white.
Price under ~$45k.
This will be a replacement for her 2019 Miata RF-GT hardtop. Between selling that and her selling some work stock, I can pull this off without having to take out a loan.
I can pretty much fly anywhere in the country for free, so a "fly and drive" is certainly doable.
So-- any options on a Third-Gen that are "absolute" must-haves?
Thanks guys-- I'm historically a BMW guy, so I'm dipping my toe into unknown waters here.
(Although the Minister *did* mention that I could sell the M2C and get a Cayman S so we'd match).

Do some homework on fly and drive.
For you the fly part is no issue. The drive part was an issue for me because I live in a state with no reciprocal tax agreement with California where I bought the Cayenne. This meant paying sales tax twice in my situation.
Selling dealer said I could not drive off the CA lot without paying CA tax, so I skipped the fly/drive plan and had the car shipped 2,400 miles to me where I paid sales tax in my home state after delivery.
