    Hey guys! Old member here. My first exotic was my new 15' 458 which I absolutely loved and had it for almost 5 years. The switched to a new 20' 720s spider, which I also loved minus my initial issues. Lol.

    So I've been doing some research in a short period of time and I am about to take delivery of pre-owned 24' 296 GTS this week. I haven't seen the car in person yet as it's 4 hours away but I'm planning on it before I take delivery. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. I've read so many posts here my eyes are tired.

    1. What is including in the AFS system? I know it has the moving headlights but does it included the heads up display?

    2. What does the Advanced front driving camera system do? Included?

    3. If my car has Carplay does that automatically include Android Auto?

    4. This car doesn't seem to have a rear camera but it does have the rear parking sensors and rear radar. Do you find this is enough for parking? I'm used to having a rear camera.

    5. Is the racing seat lifter on both the driver and passenger seats?

    6. The cars in-service date was 7/24. I'm getting the service records tomorrow. I'm assuming it should have had at least 1 service on the anniversary date. Anything else I should look for? Updates?

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you mind sharing MSRP, miles, and price paid? In the market as well.

    Rear camera is standard.

    Front camera is very useful for parking, if it has it there is a cylinder in the center of the front nose spoiler wing.

    Thanks for the answers!

    So the AFS system and the advanced front driving camera work together, integrated?

    Thanks! My friend just told me today its mandatory for all US cars to have a back up camera since 2018. Learn something everyday!

    The options plaques lists the Advanced front driving camera but there is no cylinder in the center lower front nose. I've seen the camera in other cars online but the one I'm purchasing doesn't have it??

    Oh it’s the camera for the distance control and auto braking. By the rear view mirror.
