Great story, and what a fantastic find! Congrats and please enjoy the current DC weather and I hope you can get out to Blue Ridge.
BTW the Washington Post has an article on Fall Drives, and mentions a good alternate route into Blue Ridge to avoid (potentially) the two hour backups:

They had just dropped to $9,999. New manager and didn't want an old car on lot/no warranty etc. So we discussed him wholesaling out. Short story, paid $6,700.
$250 for power electric cord and probably needs lower arm bushings (20 years old) but after 5K of miles, runs great. We use to run out to Blue Ridge parkway and hiking etc.
