Looking to buy a 570s - must have options?

[finfinfin]

Hi all,

As the title says, I'm looking at getting a 570s and trying to narrow down the spec I'm looking for. What are the absolute must have extras, the nice to have but not mandatory, and the worthless stuff?

Thanks for the help!

Interior carbon is a must.

I don't care for exterior carbon really, especially not for the price it costs when new.

Coupe or Spider? Not a huge list to chose from really. Soft close, B&O, track pack etc are nice to have but not essential. Lift, sports exhaust, upg. paint are always good. I prefer alcantara interior to full leather on these but that's my own personal pref. Ceramics are std on the S. Ext. carbon transforms the looks, int is nice too and lifts it a bit inside. Swap your Pirellis for Michelins and you're good to go.

Im pretty sure this was covered elsewhere recently, simply put, buy the best car at your budget, not a higher spec thats not in such good shape.

The only thing i will add from when i was buying is, they seem very colour specific too, the popular colours sell quickly, base whites/blacks/silvers seem to take longer to shift, or they did when i was scanning the maket this year.

I'd say lift is the really only must have option.

Security pack, interior carbon, premium stereo all nice to have

Agree on get the best you can.

As it happens ... ahem ... mine's up for sale at the moment. 2 owners, fsh and McL warranty. Cheapest Spider by about £5k last time I looked. Carbon ext and int, lift, sports exhaust, elite paint. Er, most of the things I mentioned

Mileage is almost 21k but never tracked or used abroad, looked after by Ascot and then Hatfield. Clean bill of health early Nov, new Michelins. Only selling due to lack of storage and possibly going into a 720S or Perf in the Spring.

Thanks Pioneer I have seen that up for sale but I am looking purely for a coupe.... would rather have a bit more storage space and save 20k given my realistic likelihood of putting the roof down.

What are the different types of carbon pack available- everyone seems to agree to get "lots" of carbon but anything in particular to look out for?

I have a 570S Spider that has been a joy for 2 years. MSO carbon paddles, lift, B&O, soft close doors are on my must have list. MSO full carbon sills go well with the interior carbon bits. MSO titanium exhaust is a great option, but very difficult to find. You are going to love this car.

Standard and extended I think. Not sure exactly what extras extended gives you. Mine has extended interior (speaker covers, centre console, infotainment surround, paddles etc) and standard exterior which is front and rear splitters, rear bumper and side skirts. Looks amazing against the blue. I suspect extended includes blades and engine cover. Have seen carbon bonnets on the 570 Spider but doubt that was a factory option? Blades would be nice but the rest is a bit too much imo. Mine has a palladium roof which matches the engine cover and blades so looks pretty smart. Carbon low down just gives it something extra. IMO alcantara is the best cosmetic option, makes a huge difference to the interior - feels very special compared to leather.

I remember seeing your car advertised prior to you buying it Pioneer; I recall thinking then it had a pretty fantastic spec.

The colour looks stunning.

Yep, funny I wasn't looking for a blue one but it was local and thought I'd take a look. Spec was great but that colour! I saw it from the other side of the road and pretty much fell in love with it immediately. Little crowd of people around it all commenting on the colour. Pics do Vega Blue absolutely no justice, carbon just helps set it off a bit more. Had a couple of minor issues when I got it but Hatfield took care of everything under warranty. Will be a shame to see it go really
