Thanks! I learned a few buys ago that if I cheap out I regret it, so I didn't. I paid over much of the market: 143k. 17k miles. I was only considering LP, colorful, coupes that I could put miles on. This car also had a bunch of options I was looking for: engine window, diamond internal stitched leather interior, rare color. It has zero paint work, zero accidents, straight piped and high wing but not heavily modified, and already ppf'ed. The PPI mechanic described it as "pristine".
I eliminated the one in North Carolina because with 50k miles and twin turbo I expected expensive mechanical headaches. There was another (cheaper) green one on Ebay that seemed like it'd had a heavy rebuild and re-color (Verde Mantis) recently. Several other cheaper/colorful ones disappeared too quickly for me to get a PPI. One owner wouldn't cooperate with getting a PPI (massive red flag...). I briefly considered non-colorful ones and wrapping them, but average list price is up to around 137.5 for even cars I wasn't that into, so ultimately I couldn't resist this set of options for a relatively minor bump in price.
