Enjoyed your story sounds like you received a good deal. Nice photo sure spruces up the message. 2 - 3 months not to bad of a wait however wish it was shorter. How do you find the comfort and room for driving. One concern I have is I am 6'1" 180 pounds and sometimes the sports cars are fairly stingy on room. Use to own a 911 and 928 found the 911 to be a bit cramp. Anyway thanks again for the message

I have an XKR Coupe and am 6'2" 170. I also drive with the seat close in (the fore and aft settings for me and my 5'5" wife are identical)and very upright. I find the room adequate. I drove convertibles and found headroom to be a bit less with the hood up and my head was above the screen top rail with the hood down.

Several reviewers have mentioned the size and position of the left foot "dead pedal." It is small and a long way away.
