    Looking at another Pista to add to stable. Wondering if this would ever be a problem if I decide to sell the vehicle? Carfax shows car originally sold in Colorado, went to Mississippi, than Illinois, Kansas and ended up in Florida. Besides the ownership Carfax is clean.

    It is well specced but I’m not sure with the previous amount of owners.

    Thoughts ?

    Just bought a Speciale with a similar number of owners, though it is unclear if it was just being reregistered in another state, etc. Some never drove it it seems. Regardless, car is perfect....

    How many miles?

    It could have been used as a rental and used and abused and tossed quickly.

    Or it could have been seen a very benign life, with all of the previous buyers hoping to flip to make a quick profit.

    Hard to say.

    Who were the registered owners? Private parties or dealerships?

    I would start with a modis report; review the maintenance history each time it was serviced. If possible speak to a service rep where it was serviced. Rentals worry me (if that’s the case); if you decide to buy take into consideration that it might be harder to sell. Buyers will have the same concerns you have. If you plan to keep for a long time that might not be important.

    It happens, especially with SE and LE cars. Nothing to worry about.

    Surely if you seek a car is that has not been driven above average ownership is likely - in essence that is what you are paying for as the 'value' is only real when the car is flipped

    Baseball cards. The good stuff tends to change hands a bunch of times with minimal miles.

    I don't think matter of owners matters anywhere as much as how it was treated
