Hi All, I am on the search for a 2010 or up GT, looking for sub 50k miles, low owners and solid history (obviously). Any leads much appreciated
The big decision to make is MC shift or auto. Have a search on the forum and see what will suit your requirementsHi All, I am on the search for a 2010 or up GT, looking for sub 50k miles, low owners and solid history (obviously). Any leads much appreciated

Thanks for the advice, I am veering towards an auto over MC shift, just for convenience of a daily driver.The big decision to make is MC shift or auto. Have a search on the forum and see what will suit your requirements
Probably the right decision although I use my MC shift as a daily, you can’t go wrong with a GT (aslong as not 4.2) !Thanks for the advice, I am veering towards an auto over MC shift, just for convenience of a daily driver.
Indeed, 4.7 all the way!Probably the right decision although I use my MC shift as a daily, you can’t go wrong with a GT (aslong as not 4.2) !
Great advise, this has been my dilemma, I am considering a 2010 with 35K on the clock but its last service is overdue and the current owner I get the impression is not very knowledgeable, or a 2011 with 49K on the clock which seems pretty solid from a knowledgeable dealer.I may as well say it:
Focus on history and maintenance rather than miles, +50k car that has had the main maintenance jobs just completed will be a better buy than a 30k car that need bushes can covers blah blah won’t be
Check subframe and is not using respected specialist a PPi is a good use investment.
Good luck with your search - they are Fab cars
Both are pretty similar price wise too! the 35K miles one is a private seller also so no warrantyGreat advise, this has been my dilemma, I am considering a 2010 with 35K on the clock but its last service is overdue and the current owner I get the impression is not very knowledgeable, or a 2011 with 49K on the clock which seems pretty solid from a knowledgeable dealer.
Just get the car checked (PPI), then you’ll know what’s needed going forward. On that basis I’d go for lower miles, but that’s not to say the one with 49k isn’t a great car.Both are pretty similar price wise too! the 35K miles one is a private seller also so no warranty
Test drive both and see which you prefer, also with later 4.7’s you won’t have the variator issue that plagues the 4.2
Nothing wrong with the Granturismo 4.2 unit. Plenty fast enough. Is auto only (fine with me) and unlike the 4.7 you don't get valved back boxes. Looks great, drives great, sounds great.I am thinking about 4200 or Granturismo and I noted the adverse comment about 4.2 versus 4.7. As a newbie can someone explain is there a problem with the 4.2 ?
