Hi all,
After 15yrs of wanting one. I finally purchased a 2013 Granturismo MC Sport Auto Shift yesterday. Hopefully I will be picking this up in a week or two.
Although the general consensus on the internet is that the Granturismo is pretty reliable. Have people ever taken their Granturismo to an independent garage, right after purchase for a "health check"?
In my mind, although the dealer (not main dealer) says they will be carrying out a service prior to pick up. I think it would be prudent to get a "specialist" to have an overall check of the condition of the car, for preventive maintenance, rather than reactive.
Although there's an understanding during purchase that you will have to spend a higher amount on maintaining a car like this, I would rather prevent any issues (coolant leak etc), than getting a huge bill after someone has happened.
As it's been a dream to get this car, I'm slightly nervous and paranoid. I've only ever bought new cars, so problems have been limited or infrequent.
By the way, are there many Maserati owner's based in the Newcastle area?
