$8100 Located near Maine give or take a state. It had a salvage title. The sunroof on it was missing all of the weather seal too. Shower while you drive!
It has arrived! The driver caught the bottom right plastic protectors of the car on his rig while getting it off, very minor damage. He claimed he would give a partial refund for the damage. It was documented but I'm not holding my breath.
I'm not going to lie, it is a bit rough on the outside for my taste. In the short term a little touch up paint is in order. There are some pretty big rock chips on the front hood. The carpeting on the interior could use some cleaning too. The seats and interior are in good shape. Surprisingly the seats, dash, and doors appear cleaner than our 460. It has only been here an hour. I'll post more tomorrow. As expected it is full of codes and issues.

Oil is changed. The TPMS is also reporting all 5 tires. For such a simple system the tpms was a real pain in my side today. I made 6 stops today trying to get it done. I should have paid discount tire $75 yesterday and been done with it.
Oil was clean. No sparkles. Appears to be the wrong filter. Pouring and taking a picture is quite challenging lol. A year ago I bought 10 of these gallons for $8 each!

I'm surprised they don't recommend Synthetic in that car.
Lets leave the oil debate for another thread. I use both synthetic and dino. On a new (used) car I often do a quick drain and fill in the first 1000 miles.

It’s your car and you wanted to use that cheap oil. I don’t blame you. I’ve got five jugs of SuperTech 0w16 that I got for $3.50 each. Only concern about using them right now is film strength and cam chain wear. Might need to blend it with a 0w30 or 0w40.
sdls $3.50 is a steal. Every 6 months or so I take 30 gallons of oil to O'reilly's to discard. I grab the cheap stuff anytime I can.
Tec80 Thanks! I was wondering if the hood was Aluminum. When I purchased my 460 I took a magnet along to check for bondo in the fenders. The hood was a bit easier to inspect.
It hasn't left us stranded yet (thumbs up). I really like the radar cruise. I wish our other cars had it.
There are still quite a few issues to work out. This is my list so far. Once the parking brake is fixed most would probably be satisfied. I'm a bit pickier.
1. Slight noise from left front wheel area over bumps. (Code for left front absorber)
2. Left front caliper makes odd noises when parked and brake is pressed. It sounds like a series of rhythmic clicks. Maybe a stuck piston.
3. Very loud wind noise from mirror area on drivers door. (JMcRaney wind noise fix) I'll order the upgraded trim pieces.
4. Drivers side front and rear door panels need to come off. The exterior sheet metal on the doors sounds loose. (think tin can noise when opening and closing doors)
5. 1 front tire is new and mismatched, other tires are worn. Steering drifts a little bit. Upper control arms were replaced 40k miles ago. Lower arms still have stickers on them. They must be newer. Bushings look good. Sway bar end links are new. Hopefully new tires with an alignment fixes the steering drift.
6. I think I hear a wheel bearing or 4 going bad. It could also be a brake pad dragging. Freeway driving the wind from the drivers side is so loud I can't make out anything else. My wife in the passenger seat said at freeway speeds it is quieter than on local roads. Which leads me to think brake noise.
200 miles later... Here is where the codes stand. I think the list has been cut in half.
