987 Cayman - desirable options/spec
Discussion
I'm struggling to come up with a reason not to get a Cayman to replace my lease car, and as such have been spending too much time trawling the classifieds.
I'm looking for a manual 2.7, with a budget of around 16k ish. I've seen a handful of decent looking cars, although all seem to be 150+ miles away so I've not been to see any yet.
If you were buying one, what would options would you be looking for/what are must haves?
Sports seats - look great, but aren't that common. (I've seen one with electric sports seats, but it's on the pricey side)
Heated seats - I think a must have with leather (don't think it's standard though)
Headunit - I'm planning to fit an android/apple car play head unit, so I think standard trumps Bose this time.
Xenons - don't seem very common, but coming from decent LED lights this would be a nice one to have!
Sport/PASM again is another luxury that doesn't seem to be specced on many 2.7s.
Also, other than here and autotrader, is there anywhere else I should be looking? My lease goes back at the end of January, but given there aren't a huge amount of cars for sale, I may end up getting one sooner.

Sports seats are much better than standard.
Xenons a big improvement likewise.
PASM if the wheels are over 18" completely essential for a daily driver, not so if a Sunday car.
Full leather is nice
Can't see the point in heated seats. They're warm two minutes after you sit in them anyway. Only for sissies ;-)

I think my ideal spec would include sports seats and xenons. I've seen a few nice cars with 19s, but would rather 18s I think. Hopefully PASM isn't essential in that case (not many seem to have it specced). Xenons a big improvement likewise.

You are probably right on the heated seats. Thinking about it my previous car had leather seats of sorts, and I don't remember being too cold.

My essentials would be:
- extended leather
- PSE
- PASM
- Xenons
- manual shift
Would be great if I could find one, but the latter is the only common option it seems! - extended leather
- PSE
- PASM
- Xenons
- manual shift
