Buying a 2017 1/2 GT4 LUSSO Advice/Opinions wanted

Probably the most expensive repair is the PTU. Unfortunately there is no way to detect a problem until you actually have a failure. So you can't watch for it, but you can worry about it, unless you get a Power Warranty.

 

Oil leaks engine/gearbox, coilovers, steering rail.
oil levels, engine, DCT, PTU, coolant, steering, coilovers.
brake rotors thickness, condition.
Coilovers liftung
Rear steering wheel
Wheel hubs, arms.
All shafts condition / oil leak.
Battery, candles

 

My 2017 has been great except for the dreaded PTU. Other than that I’m not aware of any other issues I would look out for. Inspect the front bumper cover for the dimples though. Mine were pretty bad but used the hack on here to get them mostly back to shape.

The nose is so long a scrape is bound to happen. The front plastic piece that goes across the middle isn’t cheap but easily replaceable.

For me the stock sound was really disappointing so I went aftermarket but that’s completely subjective.

Best of luck and you won’t be disappointed. I’m 5+ years with mine and still love driving it.

I bought my sight unseen and if I did it again I would have looked at the front bumper for dimples like @gilly6993 mentioned. Although we did stuff the nose with pipe insulation and it’s 90% perfect.

I also would have preferred some PPF on the front to insure it was perfect.

mechanically, mine has been perfect. It’s a 2017 V12 with 9k miles. Got it Sep ‘22

 

Mine had a warranty until March of this year and I tried to extend it but they declined me due to aftermarket wheels and exhaust. It was also $8k a year to extend the warranty

I decide to forgo warranty and have since added Novitech springs. We will see what the future holds for me but I don’t drive it more than 4k miles a year and I’m ok self insuring… at least until the PTU goes

 

Can someone please clarify what is meant by front bunper dimple issue? Is this reference to stone chips on the front bummer

Why you are not using car? 4k miles it's for coffee ride two times per month?

 

I don’t drive much. To and from work is 8 miles and I have 3 other cars to chose from when I walk into the garage

 

What about to travel in another city / state? Travel to lake, golf club, forest and other things

 

We have the people mover for that one, Escalade ESV, for the 3 little kids and big lab

 

4K miles for those of us in the US is actually quite a lot. Many of us have families and although it can haul everyone we usually have another vehicle that fits the bill better.
