The roads are fine. I've been driving to Vancouver <-> Kelowna and back for the past few weekends. Snow tires + limit your throttle input = you'll be fine..

if your not capable of a driving a 350z on the highway. i dont think you can handle driving it on pentiction roads in the winter. just wait til summer. dont rush into buying one. youll find a wicked deal eventually. 350z is one hella of a car. Is this your first RWD?

Good plan on not driving icy highways on summer tires  The other people on the roads thank you!
Have you tried looking in the yellow pages or asking if the seller knows of a company?

Just drive it. The Coq isn't that bad. Go during the daytime, and go after there has been a few days of clear weather. The road will be plowed.
Just make sure to run the car through a full car wash with an underbody cleaning when you get home. Don't need any rust.
If you need, find some snowies on craigslist. There are tons of them on there right now.
