Very Nice! I really like the red accents.
I came very close to purchasing from World Fine Cars but they wouldn't accept my offer.

My favorite wheels and the red really does pull it all together. The stitching looks like it hasn't faded at all which seems to be a problem with the red if it gets too much sun so garage is recommended.

Mine had 5700 miles when I bought it but it still took $10 grand to get it sorted out [roasted clutch being the big ticket] but loose nuts in the doors, 6 year service, aligning the steering wheel, lots of little things that all added up and weren't a big deal unless little niggles drive you batty. I still have "something" like a screw or nut somewhere under the carpet under the passenger seat but that one I'll probably have to live with unless it starts bugging me enough to have it all pulled out.

What your car needs is to be driven. Looking at them is only half the fun

looks pretty close to my 2010 but I have silver stitching and microspun finish and black brake calipers, enjoy, they are really great cars!

Jagman70 is on a distinguished road
I bought my 09 roadster MT 2 years a go with 8900 miles. Certainly do a fluid change and check the tires for dry rot. I switched to the new Michelin PSS tires. They are great.

The wipers are easy to change yourself. Push the #2 and #6 radio buttons and put the key to position 1. The wipers will raise to 90 degrees allowing the changeover. Use Bosch Icons.

I too got tired of brake dust and switched over to Porterfield R4S pads. Great improvement.

Your new ride is beautiful. Enjoy it.
