Congratulations! I'm sure whoever sold it didn't want to store it so price was reduced. You might want to go for the heated storage option in case you find yourself wanting to sleep with it.

Congrats, looks like a beauty. PLEASE note that driving on summer tires in low temperatures is not recommended...

I am well aware of the perils of summer tires in the cold. I bought an '05 RX-8 in '05 (which I sold a year ago last Friday, leading to the deal on the '05 Boxster 1 year to the day) that came with summer tires, and was absolutely useless in the cold. I also have two bikes ('97 Triumph Trophy & '10 Ducati Multistrada) that I have been known to ride like I'm perched on tiptoes just above freezing. Pick a dry window between storms, as warm as possible and get it home for the winter. Right now I'm checking the weather hourly, and it seems to be changing hourly
