WTB: Poor man's 996 cabrio

Year: 2000
Make: Porsche
Model: 911
Price: $15000
Mileage: 90000
Color: black, grey, or silver
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): CA
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

Wifey's given me permission to spend $15k on a weekend convertible, and I've always liked Porsches. That probably limits me to 996s, since I can't fit in a Boxster, and can't stomach air-cooled maintenance. Cosmetic blemishes are okay, but I'm looking for something mechanically sound with no accidents, aftermarket modifications, or deferred maintenance / repairs.

Other requirements:
- less than 90k miles
- manual transmission
- black, grey, or silver exterior
- clear title (i.e. no water damage or salvage)
- can pass CA smog
- within 500 miles of San Diego so I can get a PPI

If you hear of one, please drop me a line!

Lots to like about the first car, though it's beige and too far to drive home. The reason I want to stay near California is because we have strict emissions regulations here, and I need assurance that the car will pass our biennial smog test.

a little higher miles than you were initially looking for but the price is right

Thanks for looking, both are nice examples, but I'm only willing to travel 500 miles.
