Quick update.

Car arrived safely on Friday! Got her all waxed up over the weekend. The only flaws in the car were the rear bumper had scratches and a few on the hood but the rest is very clean. I may also pursue having those aluminum door inserts replaced under warranty for dents which other owners have done.

The bad news...
Went to drive it for the first time (other than the first nights 1mile spin to make sure all was good) on Monday morning to work, and I notice the driver side front tires going flat via the dash gauge. I had filled them up properly over the weekend and did notice the valve stem seemed loose and leaked a little air until I tightened it. It was fine sitting in the garage.
Well long story short, tire is now shot being it went down to nearly no pressure ( I was still real close to home and turned back).

$300 later the new tire is here and going on Friday.

The local dealer looked at it and said I'm SOL. So I can't really report how it drives until later this week. This whole out of state buying is a pain.

Stay tuned.....

Congrats on delivery! She's shining like a diamond. Sucks about the tire though. I bet that short drive you did was the biggest tease. :/

I do do not remember seeing any scratches on the hood or rear bumper. I looked real close at it when I was there.

Just a comment: The fact that you guys locally in Clear Lake area are helping out the OP is amazing. The CL community is just awesome.
