Thanks everyone.
Delivery was not without drama....the transport driver LOST THE KEY (who knows what the real story was on this) and called me 20 miles away from my home saying it was out of the truck for another delivery, and he was going to pay some guys to help roll it onto the truck. Luckily I had a second key that the previous owner had FedExed with title/receipts/etc., and drove out there to get it (took $200 off the delivery price). Hopefully there is nothing complicated about making a key copy.
What a great driving experience. I was wondering if I should have bought a car with the M030 suspension/brakes, but it's quite relaxing and easy on the body compared to my AMG daily driver...so no mods anytime soon with respect to this.
Despite chatting with the PO and the shop that performed the PPI, the interior wasn't nearly up to the standard represented, and there is an obvious windshield rock chip right in front of the driver position...shame on me I guess for not insisting on a FaceTime detailed walk-around. I guess I now have some fun projects ahead of me to replace the carpets and repair some of the leather.
I personally replaced the carpet set on my '95 993, and that was a nightmare because of the ridiculous type of glue (Satan's snot) holding things down...I imagine this was the case for 968 carpets as well.
