2) No Sunroof. (Carbon roofs pop on lighter color cars and show more aggressive)
3) No DCT
4) No cloth interior
I found a few nice cars I passed over because of those requirements. I ended up with a 2010 Alpine White carbon roof 6MT with 20K miles for $36K.
If I were still looking, I would still pass this car without a second glance even at cheaper price than I paid for mine.

Yep, but nothing looks as good as a clean black car. So if you want the best you have to put in the most effort. You can go MUCH longer between washes with lighter colors without the car looking like shit, I'll give you that. Black car must be washed weekly.
The lighter colors can be quite handsome but they lack any real depth or reflection. That said, the only two colors I would really consider are Jet Black and Alpine, in that order.
Totally agree on the cloth interior - hideous.
To the OP - I specifically didn't want a ZCP.
