I have been tempted to change the Maser for the FF. All my Masers have been new, so now I am thinking of venturing into the four seater used Ferrari - I can already smell the depreciation!

So what are the priorities - do I go for the older car but lower mileage -say 5-6k miles 24 months old or newer but higher mileage say 12-18 months with 15k miles.

Any advice on must have options?

Overall, how do I avoid the bear-traps?

Ever since you asked this at New Year its been quite a popular question - several recent threads including a huge one as I recall when Chris Harris bought his a month or two back

There's a 4 year warranty and 7 year option that you should be able to take some of the balance from in order to give you some peace of mind. The warranty can be extended of course.

Must haves for me:
- ventilated seats to stop the sweaty back syndrome
- front and rear cameras as it's a big car
- get the panoramic roof if you are going for a more recent model

I think the rest are up to your own styling requirements (wheels, interior trim, etc)

I actually went from FF to Maser!
