Pista pre-purchase question

Need more info

Specs? Year? Miles? Asking price v. MSRP?

For the right price, this would be a good buy.

 

I can tell you that the windshields used in the 488/Pista/F8 are shockingly soft glass, and it doesn't take much to get them pitted. And of course if the car was run at high speed, basic physics works against it staying pristine.

 

i think the decision here is completely dependent on what you intend to do with the car. If it's a driver and your goal might be to track occasionally as well, it's perfect. If it's intended to be used infrequently and value at sale matters more, then I'd move onto something else. Not a bad car, but resale would be more challenging I think

 

I'd been very concerned about the real life of the ccm rotors. Easy to replace but stupid expensive.

 

See if the dealer will replace the rotors as part of the deal. It won't cost them nearly as much as it will cost you to replace them.

Bought my Pista from Meridien a few weeks ago (or rather, via Meridien, but sold through my local dealer) - they often have very nice specs coming in and out.

32% wear on the actual rotors themselves are quite high but then again, that car has done 8k miles and if they've been driven well (as they should be!), I don't think the wear is obscene for what it is. If you're gonna track the car, etc, try pushing for sub-300, there's enough meat there for them to take that. That £9k+ saved should buy you some piece of mind, put it towards new rotors when you will need them. Blue Electrico is a rare color on Pistas so they may be a bit more unwilling to budge, but then again they moved a bit on my car and it was in an as-rare color combination.

Imho, if you're going to drive it as you say, there's no reason to go for a low mile minter. Buy something like this and use the condition to bargain. Then go out and drive the tits off it.

 

I’ve had my pista for 2 years now and I’ve gone through 2 windscreens, they are extremely thin. I haven’t tracked it yet but i drive it every weekend in all weathers and euro trip last year. Car had had 1k miles when i bought it and now has 11k. I have stone chips in all the normal places but the PPF has done its job and the paint work underneath is fine. In my experience the car has been bullet proof but if you use it properly you cannot get away from road rash. Also i never bought mine from Meridien but i do know they have one of the best reputations in UK. I would say go for it, i am 2 years in and i still look forward to the weekend when i can take the car out.
