Congratulations on your acquisition!
It's a good sign when the seller isn't sure if (s)he really wants to part with the car.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

thanks Elinor,

i was patient & lucked out - the car has been meticulously maintained through a dealership, as the owner wasn't a d.i.y. type of person. so i'm hoping all that love will "pay forward".

i've been away from owning sports cars too long. back when i did, boards like this didn't exist. this website & it's members are invaluable.
