Default New Spyder Owner---Northern Virginia

I bought it today in Northern Va. It's a 2011 with 9100 miles on it. It is the former car of Alan Jackson. It was bought new in Brentwood, TN and had a second owner from VA.

Amazing car.

Pics to follow.

Nice! I had ordered mine without having ever driven one. A dealer here in No. VA had your specific car for sale in Summer 2011 with the same Alan Jackson story, so I test drive it. All my doubts were addressed. Haven't seen a lot of these in town. Enjoy, you'll be sure to love it.

Thanks guys. I had the car out today and love it.

I have to say that the Spyder is much more comfortable than I thought it was going to be---it's fairly plush. Makes my old 911 feel pretty spartan.

I wonder if Alan Jackson will write a song about how he bought the wrong seats.....

LOL. Or a song about how much it cost me to put in the right seats....

John, carbon bucket seats will get rid of some of that 'plush' feel you're talking about.

I think the sport buckets are the most comfortable fixed position seats I have ever experienced. Sales staff pleaded with me to not buy one with them, they were all wrong and I have permanent spine damage so if I like em who doesn't?
