I just purchased a 2010 with 78k on the clock, as a daily (black on black with the CF inlays). The damn thing is immaculate, save for the wheels, both inside and out, with only a few insignificant scratches here and there. The wheels are curb rashed all to hell (clearly someone couldn’t park worth a damn), but that is getting correcting this Monday and should look good as new.
Sadly, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Before purchase I took the car to get PPI’d. It passed (hence why I bought it), with only some wear items (that will be promptly replaced), a lack of TPM sensors, which I already knew from the light on the dash, and a need to be serviced being an issue. They didn’t go as far as to see if there are any carbon issues, but I didn’t expect them to. After a couple of hours of smooth, trouble-free driving, the car decided to hesitate when on the gas a couple of times. Basically, press the gas, wait a couple of beats, then it responds. Fast forward to the evening and I decide to take the car around the block to see if it would act up again. It did, bucking like a mad horse out of first gear then settling down and driving fine again. Fun times!!
The car will be in the shop next week to get serviced and I will obviously be bringing this to their attention to hopefully get sorted. I am not overly concerned about it…yet. I knew going in there might be some areas that need attention; this isn’t my first rodeo with a car with unique attributes.
So, greetings all, and I look forward to the online camaraderie.
