    Looking to purchase soon, have a few questions.

    1-How do they run in the summer heat? Any overheating issues or no?
    2-During the PPI are there any areas I need to check for corrosion, or is that a non issue on a well sorted car?
    3-Any recommendations for a PPI?


    Thanks.

    No problems in the heat. AC works well too when properly serviced. Must park in the shade, or else dash leather falls apart.
    I have used F1 imports in Naples and Rick Hunt in Ft Myers. Both excellent.

    I have driven my 550 about 7000 miles in two years in FL. Get a battery tender.
    Corrosion is a non issue.

    Cooling hoses go bad. Engine mounts. Interior gets sticky. Leather cracks. Can all be exacerbated by heat. But engines do not overheat unless something is wrong.

    Good luck.
