Unfortunately, in the Middle East we have to be EXTRA careful when buying used sports cars because of monkeys like him! It's sad but true that when you have too much of a good thing you take it for granted...clearly this guy doesn't care!
Unfortunately, JP, you can never really tell what the previous owner has done...
once they are all shiny after the detailer has worked his magic,and the paperwork looks in order with all the right stamps,
and you think all the due diligence has been done with inspections, etc...
it is still down to a bit of luck...
I know it's not exactly the same, but look at the 458 you wrote about...
hard revving from cold, yet somebody will end up buying that and never know!

Enzo.
