Hello All,
I went to view a 2015 white Ghibli and am quite tempted. The condition of the car was excellent, with a full service history at Maser dealers and the most recent service at a Maser indy (full service and new front disks). The car has black leather, the bodywork and paintwork are in very good condition, and apart from a few signs of wear and tear internally, I couldn't fault the condition. I think it is a 2 owner car but will confirm this tomorrow. White was not originally my preferred colour, but the car looked quite stunning. I think I'd probably only take blue over the white.
I usually buy used and lean heavily towards condition and service history over a big spec. This has served me well but it limits my choice as I invariably compromise on colour and spec. This one lacks heated seats, memory seats, and as far as I can tell, any of the packs (business, comfort). It sits on 20" wheels which I find a bit crashy. I presume I can swap these out for 19s or maybe 18s ? It won't look as good on 18s, so maybe it will be 19s.
Here's a link to the car:

There are obviously others out there but there are a lot of 3/4 owner cars, some are a fair distance from Manchester, and my budget is around £20K. Are there any must haves in terms of spec ? Will the lack of spec and the colour harm resale value in say 3-4 years ? I enquired about this one:
but it turns out to be a 4 owner car and they have not responded to my questions about service history and spec. I might pop up there to vie wit but only if they canbe bothered to respond first.
Any tips or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
