Levante - a few questions..

[Square Leg]

Never thought I’d find myself in this section of PH, but here I am….
I’m going to look at a Levante next week at Graypaul, Nottm.
It’s a year old, with what I think is a decent spec but just wanted to run it past you more knowledgeable folk.

I’m coming from an M2 comp but find I need something bigger for various reasons.
The car is a year old with 8k miles, one owner, Nerissimo pack and Pieno Fiore Natural Leather amongst a few other things. £62k
Warranty to July 2023 and the next two services included in a service pack.
Seem a decent price?

Also, do these have the OPF filters that stifle all the noise?
It’s one bug bear of the M2 that necessitated the fitting of a different exhaust.

Thanks.

Which model / engine / ...Levante is it? Couldn't say about the OPF, but I had a standard petrol V6 and it made a nice noise if that's what you're asking, but my replacement which was the Trofeo is of course better! That said the soundproofing takes a little of that away sadly.

Overall v good cars and have been very pleased with mine. I have found that you can shift the dealer price a fair bit - and they fully expect it. The servicing is worth at least a couple of grand for the two, so good to have included.

Thanks.
It’s this GranSport.
The Trofeo looks fantastic, and I’d love a V8 but unfortunately my funds won’t stretch that far

Shouldn't you be going for the 430hp version of the V6 rather than settling for the 350hp model?

[Square Leg]

Not sure I’ve seen any of the 430 for sale?

[BigR]

Tbf the 430 bhp model is quite a bit more or you have to get one a 2-3 yrs old (which would be cheaper based on Autotrader current results!). The 350 doesn't hang about though - its got quite a bit of poke in it.

Good to see you have the panoramic roof. My first didn't but the Trofeo has and its a nice addition. But go for it, looks good - low / no mileage to speak of and if it ticks the boxes..! I would also say that's not a bad price either, notwithstanding what you might be able to haggle off it. Certainly it looks like a decent amount of car for the money.

Anyway it would be remiss of me not to post a pic or two...

Here you go. Similar miles, 18 months older and nearly 10k cheaper. What's not to like (and if you don't like, there are another 5 for sale)

Levante V6 S

[Square Leg]

Thanks.
I had seen those but didn’t notice they were an ‘S’.
Really not keen on the red leather, nor do I particularly like chrome trims on anything.

There’s a nice private one in grey but is now 3 years old, so actually older than the car I’m coming out of.
Assume the warranty is also up after 3 years?

[BigR]

Correct re warranty. The 70 model has some updates too, notably in some of its styling.

Its a strong interior going on there!!! And the wheels on the other blue / red one are a bit...well not as nice.

The one I was looking at sold today..
Ah well.
