Yeah, it is what you think it is. Put a deposit on it this afternoon. Booking flights and arrangements tonight to pick it up Saturday.  
Any guess on gallons to drive 700 miles?  
I know this is minimal details, but more will follow.

It better take at least 35 gallons, otherwise you’re not driving it right.

If I had a CTSV with 740 miles on the odo it probably would have actually traveled only 100 miles. 😃  
Are the rear tires bald? 🙂

Claim to be like brand new  
At $2,000 a set for OEM tires on tirerack, they better be good. That was a selling feature.

He should have sold me his. Sounds like a fun guy. My gramps had a lot of fun toys as well, definitely miss the guy.

Rated at 12 city / 18 hwy. Granted the engine is still being broken in so I will be varying the RPMs which may not be optimal for hypermiling.

From the dealer’s bad photos.

Interior will look like this but with 3 pedals

Flight booked and now I can’t sleep. A lot of loose ends and variables that keep running through my head. I will be a happy stress free man on Saturday night sitting in my ventilated recaros.

I’d be scared of getting chips from so many miles of driving, stay far behind cars lol. When I drove my car from FL-NY, I made it to PA and the car ahead of me was driving slow, I had my cruise control on, another car was in the fast lane going faster then me so I hoped behind it quickly to get around the slow car ahead of me, thinking since he is driving faster then me that I’d only be close to him for a few seconds, in those few seconds a rock came up and cracked my windsheild…luckily it was a free replacement.
