458 Is this evidence of a rollback or mileage blocker?

Agreed. I spoke to the service manager in each of them and was dumbfounded they ALL claimed never to have heard of this. The only one that really spent time on the phone with me was Atlanta to research with a tech on the floor about pulling mileage off the TCU. While I didn't get the answer I was hoping for, the time he spent trying to answer my question bolster's other people's opinions on the Atlanta store, which have all been positive for service. I'll probably switch my servicing to Atlanta from my current dealer. The distance is nearly the same for me between the two stores, just just that Atlanta traffic is horrible!

 

Thanks Ivan! I do as well wish they would spend the time to do it. However, at the end of the day, even if I had proof that a mileage blocker was used, I don't have recourse against the seller because the seller is just an intermediary and I know they didn't use one, it was the person or a person in the prior ownership trail that would have. Maybe I'm better off not knowing, does that make sense? Let's say I have proof it was done during some point of prior ownership. There were red flags from the PPI I ignored and accepted. The mechanic even asked me if I wanted to continue with the PPI at additional costs. He was of the opinion that I wouldn't want to after his initial findings. However, along the line, I kept thinking, do I really want to keep this converted F430. My local dealer didn't want to resell it. I didn't want to go through the bother of selling it myself. It was a mint car but I encountered some reluctance from my local dealer to even service it. Ultimately, I decided to get a stock 458 and trade it in with people that had full confidence in the conversion value so they were the only one's that would give me a good trade in price.

I guess its a wash so to speak. The car is not worth what I paid for it in my opinion, but its worth what my trade in received. Lesson learned. I need to be more patient. I truly believe if I had taken on the task of selling the F430 on BaT, I would have maximized my return and been able to buy a much better 458. Entirely my fault. The mileage may be exactly what is shown on the car, but the car may have been tracked and thus that is what I'm seeing. That is what the mechanic doing the PPI believed. I appreciate your kind words!
