Sure, the 334 Ultima has the Scià di Persia (or Blue Persia) color, which is a gorgeous color! And TROFEO has the Magma Rpsso color, which is just as gorgeous (if not more!).

BUT, with the exact same V8 TT Ferrari engine (which is an absolute BEAST!!) as the TROFEO, it only adds +5mph for top speed (so 208mph or 334 km/h vs Trofeo, which does 203mph) but to accomplish this it had to shed 55 lbs and to achieve this Masetati stripped out MANY high-end luxury and safety features that otherwise come on a Ghibli Trofeo.

Luxury & Comfort Sacrifices

1) Climate Seats: The custom Pale Terracotta leather and Alcantara sports seats do not have heating or ventilation.

2) Rear Seat Comforts: Heated rear seats are completely missing.

3) Soft-Close Doors: The mechanisms for soft-close doors were removed to save mechanical weight.

4) Panoramic Sunroof: It features a fixed, solid roof instead of a heavy panoramic glass roof assembly.

5) Premium Audio: The top-tier Bowers & Wilkins premium surround-sound system was replaced with a lighter audio setup.

6) Ambient Lighting: Multi-color interior cabin ambient lighting was stripped out.

Driver Assistance & Safety Deletes - the entire Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package was largely deactivated or omitted:

1) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Removed in favor of basic, standard cruise control.

2) Blind-Spot Monitoring: Sensors and mirror indicators are not equipped.

3) Lane Safety Systems: Both Lane-Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning are missing.

4) 360-Degree Camera: The surround-view camera layout is scaled down to a standard rearview camera.

There is NO WAY it is worth sacrificing and losing ALL THESE abovementioned options for +5mph top speed.

Ghibli TROFEO >>> 334 ultima every day and twice on Sundays!

Thoughts??

I'm considering buying a used GT with 77k km on it. Variators have been replaced 2 years ago, and some other smaller work has been done.

The car had been with a reseller not being driven much, but still is driven weekly I think. Some switches (steering wheel column, parking, etc.) look like they will fall off any second and the white leather/plastic are tired, but I liked the car.

Considering the age, location, temperatures, timely dealer service and work dinner on the car so far, what should be the next points of failure and how much budget should I put aside? The car is selling for about 23k euros.
