You need to decide wether you want a coupe or convertible!
Both cars I would say top price for low mileage well specd car £45-46k and anything over 30k miles about £37k
You want pse,chrono and short shift everything else is a bonus,and both must have Spyder wheels!

Great cars, I love mine.
Spec wise.. I looked for -
Manual
Buckets
PSE
Sports Chrono
Climate
Warranty
Xenons
Spyder wheels
under 15,000 miles.
And no rear wiper
I wanted peridot green, but ended up with a White one (as I hear they are the fastest..)
I hear the top 3 are-
Buckets
Spyder wheels
PSE
Hope this helps..

I own both, great cars. (try and look at EVO April, both are in that one for a quick review)
I went for the launch colour in both and people love them.
nice older school feel vs the 981 but a new car so not old school hassle. options are many but I only buy Porsches with extended leather but that's hard to find, main options to have for resale are:
Manual
PSE
buckets
Spyder wheels
Spyders the more get it out at the weekends car, but with this summers showers, it not been that often, the R is just a great car to drive all year round.
PCCB are worth it on the cars as imo the cars under braked with the 4 pots, the 6 pots and 350mm disks offer outstanding braking performance.
If you want any info or want to come and see both PM me. My R will also be for sale in NOV and has full spec inc Leather, PCM, BOSE SS , BT, AUX over the main must have items items.

Quite like the Spyder but may be tempted by a PDK at some stage. How much hassle is the roof? I went for the launch colour in both and people love them.

Im assuming handling is sublime on both on the road...
The roof's not hassle and is water tight.
the issue is ,it's noisy and not wind tight.
Lower C of G and about 80Kg lighter than my R, also my Spyder has hi flow manafolds, RSS arms, moboball toe links, engine mounts and CUP 2's and weights 1250kg plus has the PCCB's.
it's a mega drive esp at night in the summer roof off.
