Check closely that there is no dry rot between the treads. On my 09 purchased with 8900 miles last year, it had great tread but the dealer found cracks between the treads on my first annual inspection. Good catch. I replaced the original tires with Michelin Super Sports 4s's. Nice tires.

Enjoy the ride.
no worries... I'm not keeping tires and generally replace them after 6 years regardless of mileage.

,sounds like a good deal, low 40s + your expense for the clutch and seal
having those two things freshly done would give peace of mind for the most expensive repairs for the future. as for the car being wrung out (driven hard) that would be like saying stay clear of any car that has been on weekend trackday events. which i,m sure a lot of forum members on here do.these cars are built for spirited driving,cosmetically if it looks pristine thats a sign it has been looked after.

Just got my new to me 2009 Vantage home... so far... wow... What an excellent ride Every option. .. even the umbrella and the lamay pen
Meteorite silver. .. finish is practically flawless
20 inch wheels. .. not too harsh even with the Sport Pack suspension
Wheels are wide. .. nice aggressive stance
Tuxedo or Topless?

thanks to all for opinions... helped me solidify the deal... especially the coupe!

Looks sinister with blacked out trim and wheels. Are you going for the dark exhaust tips later on?
