EDIT: One thing I did notice when inside the car yesterday is the wing makes a lot of noise when going up/down. Is this normal?
With 60% of the weight over the rear drive wheels, the 911 in snow tires performs better than any front wheel drive car using all season tires. And that is about 80% of all the cars out there. Traction has never been anything less than excellent and deep snow just doesn't exist as the roads in regularly plowed, even in a storm.

Snow tires are the best thing you can do to improve winter traction. All-season tires are lousy in all season.

check the [DME] over-revs report (don't panic if there are a few) check previous threads in this forum to put the over-revs report into perspective
probably buy the car, it is just like the one I bought and i love it. no issues whatsoever. I didn't know better, so I did not get the report when I bought mine. I got lucky, when I checked the report later it was fine.
Also, get some clear side-markers, especially with that color, I think it will look better.
