Ditto on the tires. Be carefull. They will be hard with no grip. Had to replace mine at 15,000 miles when I got her.

OK, I'm trying to load picture but having trouble. I Talked to owner--everything is true----1900 miles, original tires, etc etc---never driven in rain snow and it's a dream machine. No Leaks, tires in great shape-it was well taken care of. Listed price 27,900---traded a 99 coupe with 54,000 miles. I bought it the day it was on the lot--owner bought 2009 Z06.

Call your local tire shops and ask them if you don't believe us......

Congrats on the purchase.
Had mine about a month, 6k miles with original tires and this is something I completely over looked. At first I was like wow, this suckers got some power, it can burn the tires a 40mph. Then it happen a couple times when I wasn't expecting and it scared the crap out of me. At that moment I feel in love with the traction control. Then it dawned on me, 6 year old tires = hard as rock = unpredictability and lots of spinning tires.
