My late 2007 Granturismo 4.2 now approaching 50k miles is showing no signs of the symptoms, and is unlikely to.
It does have a very sound heritage, oil assiduously checked, used regularly. I've put 25k miles on her in my 3 years ownership.
Main dealer HR Owen history, Kensington.
The wisdom that is here is sound. If the car has been well maintained, however hard used, the variator issue is only a 'war chest' concern, ad although a prominent topic, the number of cases is small relative to the worry induced.
To put it in perspective, the cost of replacement variators is declared to be about £2.5 - 3k.
A four year main dealer service can be greater than that.
Put £3k in the war chest, anticipate a four year service, and make sure the service history is reputable
