    This GT Sport looks very very nice, most available options are on board (only exterior and interior carbon options, carbon brakes and the MC-rear axle are missing). Yes, definitely a beautiful car!

    The price I can't conclusively judge, but to me it seems to be really an attractive offer, IMO worth a purchase.

    (I guess I'm wrong. However, check the air condition display, I can't understand why there are no figures and symbols displayed when its light is on. Maybe a kind of sleep mode...)

    Not sure about offer, but a few things:

    1. Check records--is there a major service coming up? If they say that they did it when the car came in, get it on paper. If it can't be put on paper, it didn't happen.
    2. Pull out the dipstick--sometimes there's a bit of rust at the top of the dipstick where it enters the receiver tube--I know because I just had it all replaced on my 2010 Maserati GTS. If there is rust, you might ask them to replace dipstick, receiver tube, and grommets/seals. Save yourself $470...
    3. Hop on some of the generic websites that allow you to see the same year and car all over the US. Cargurus.com at least gave me other GranTurismos for sale and allowed me to look at prices.
    4. Look the car over a lot. Take your time. And look at other cars online within a day's drive--so you have options. You might not test drive all options, but it's good to know what else is out there. I was considering another 2010 base model in Grey as well as a 2013 in Blue. It's good to have options. And there seem to be lots of these for sale--depreciation is good for us buyers!
    5. Does it have a car cover ($400 I think)?
    6. Does it have the full manual(s), tire inflator, tools in the kit?

    Just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Every time I drive mine I feel like I won the lottery. PM me if you need more input or would like to speak on the phone. Good luck!
