Default just bought a new to me 2001 Spyder GS

and know nothing about this car except that I like the looks, the convertable, and the feel.
I traded my 1995 Toyota Celica which has been my mainstay with no problems till now after 195,00 miles on it and 14 years. Did not get much for trade in.
Anyway as a new to me car, as I bought as is with no warrenty. I am concerned about shakes? Are these normal? The car dealer said it was because it has been sitting and the tires have flat spots in them. Also the convertable top is frayded and shows years of putting up and down. Do I need to be concerned? How do I care for my new convertable top?
Thanks,
Jeanne

If the shaking doesn't go away afer a few miles take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. Also is the top leaking?

The shakes could be bad motor mounts since they go out on these cars alot
