Newbie needs some advice before buying his 1st 480
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2014 9:45 pm
Hello there to the 480 owners that I envy so much.
I'm about to get me a 1994 480 turbo here in Spain. My main concern is not to be teased when it comes to kilometers on counter. It is a quite common thing that second hand car sellers and mechanic garages do manipulate speedometers in order to sell the car for something more.
I have spotted this one at a 6 hour drive distance from my town (Valencia). Love everything about it but need to know what things should I look for in order to ensure the mileage is not manipulated. The seller claims it has 88.000 kms, he is the second owner but says the car has had very little use and has been kept in a garage for 8 years now. Until he decided ( the seller himself owns a multi-brand mechanic garage) to thorough inspection and put it up for sale. I have uploaded some pics to my Drive you can download and take a look at.
The website won't let me add the link, please administrators how do i post it?
Would you experts around take a look and say what you think of it?
I thank everyone in advance.
