Saw my perspective new 156 GTA, checked what I could as per buyers guide, heres what I found, your thoughts would be great.....

Here is what i noticed:
- Color is ROSSO NOVOU, its a pearlesent red????? custom order, said the owner. Supposed to be a Pinifarini upgrade along with exhaust and air intake???
- When engine was started, cold start, about 20 deg outside, there was a ticking from the engine for about 2 minutes.
- temp STAYED STABLE JUST BELOW 90, ON HIGHWAY AND IN IDLE.
- Clutch was very light..... I'm used to a BMW clutch witch is heavier
- Audio - radio with telephone, and a changer in the back...IS THIS THE GPS VERSION??
- 2005 model so 330 brakes
- GTS panels seemed flimsy, side ones, front bumper from bottom was very abused..cracked, scratched etc...

THe car is being sold for 22K euro..

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR INPUT
