When you look at cabs a lot of these get changed year year.
Leading evidence: 'Replace year year' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace are colour, condition and history' (1 discussions).

They come up fairly regulary, I have just sold a set actually.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just looking for people's opinions on a few cars. I suppose my ideal car would be Basalt black with black leather, sports seats, Litronic, PSM, PCM, PSE, Split rims, Alloy pack, Sound pack, Colour-coded dials, 2 or 3 owners and a full OPC history with warranty. Some of these cars have most of these but not all so which is really essential? I realise I may never find the car that ticks all the boxes so need to cross a few things off of my list.

Couldn't get a few of the links to work.
Sound Pack is a good one and retrofitting is a bit of a pain if there are no door speakers already. PSM can't really be retrofitted. So if you really want it, the car has to have it. I don't have it in my 3.4 and it doesn't make the car any less driveable, jst you have to pay attention in the wet.
On a 2000 car, many will have seen 4 owners (in seven years). When you look at cabs a lot of these get changed year year. Good service history is obviously a must.
PSE can be added after. PCM1 is not great anyway and an aftermarket system could be added that would be much better. Colour coded dials can be added after.Alumium Pack can be added after.Split rims can be added after.HID headlights can be added after.
Things you can't change are Colour, condition and history. So given your list, but on them.
HTH.

Thanks - I'm not looking at cabriolets - just manual coupes. Carrera 4s all had PSM so I'm tempted by the black one with sport seats, PSE and full OPC history. I am assuming that these are all mint examples worth having of course.
Most of these have two or three owners - I will probably only keep the car for a year so need to bear in mind resale.

Sounds like the best one for you - assuming the engine is 3.4 as opposed to 4.3! But I think £29K is a bit optimistic on his part for a T reg.

Out of your reqms, the cheaper/less important options are:
* Litronic/HIDs can be retrofitted £200
* Alloy pack can be retrofitted
* Colour coded dials can be retrofitted

Thanks - I figured some things could be retrofitted. How easy are split rims to get hold of - Sport Classics ideally though I know cleaning them will be a pain.

They come up fairly regulary, I have just sold a set actually. WIll cost £400 - £500 and will need a refurb. You can also still buy them from various part suppliers.

I've retrofitted PSE (supply and fit by Northways, £1500), HIDs £250 supplied by hids4u and fitted by Wrightune), and a carbon fibre gearknob £200 supplied by Carnewal fitted by Wrightune) so far...
The Bose/porsche sound system is good and would be expensive to retrofit.
Try Carnewal for parts- ask him for his best price.
Jasmine Porshalink or Porscheshop may sell reconditioned split rims for not too much.
