Hi,

I'm Steve from UK

Thought i'd join to pick up any Tips etc for my 2012 GranTurismo 4.7 S

I've had the car for just over a year and not had any of the usual quirks apart from the battery running low if it's not used for a few days.View attachment 57411
Welcome Steve. Is that your garden or the dealer picture? Seems familiar from where I got mine.

It's the original pic that the dealer did which i kept as i liked it...

Got the car from Auto100 at Huthwaite last June.

He has quite a few GT's go through their showroom.

Looks lovely.
I have had my 2010 4.7 GTS for 3 years and like you I am addicted to it.
Trouble free (even my battery will let me leave it for 3-4 weeks!).
The exhaust note is sublime and there is no other car to match it, in the price range.

In my first month i owned it, i did a road trip from Chesterfield to John o groates then to lands end and back home to chesterfield.

It was an amazing drive...

I may well have seen it there as got mine from there on February last year. Wouldn't use them again though. The owner is a complete **** and tried to say I destroyed the variators in the 200 miles I had driven it and called me a liar. I had thought they were a decent dealer until then. Live and learn. I know where to go now for the service and quality we look for.

They were ok with me. Gave me a decent price for my RCZ when i traded it in and a discount and a full tank of petrol because i paid cash.

Probably wouldn't use them again as the initial price was over the odds but it was the car i wanted as i'd been looking around and the others locally just didn't seem as good.

Are you from around that area? i'm from Chesterfield....
