I'd buy another car from them. Very easy to work with, their inventory is exclusively very clean/low mileage/well-optioned cars and they stored the Lightning a week so I could go back and get it vice attempting to trailer the 997.1 home.

Beautiful car! Love the wheels... Enjoy your new ride and if you get a chance post some more photos especially of the interior....

Thanks everybody. Exactly what I was looking for and great experience with the dealership. Time to find some screens to protect those radiators...

I think I am more jealous of the Lightning. I traded my 2002 True Blue Metallic Lightning for a Mustang Cobra, HUGE mistake.

I can't see myself ever selling it. Clean examples are getting harder to find and I've added all the mods underneath that I want: full Hotchkis TVS suspension w/ Bilsteins, Borla cat-back, and the custom 3-piece wheels from True Forged on Continentals. It's essentially a sports car that can haul lawn fertilizer and lumber in the trunk. No mods to the supercharged V-8 yet, stock SVT so far...
