    Ghibli S with skyhook suspension, any red flags I should check before buying in AD?

    Been eyeing a 2017 Maserati Ghibli S over at a dealer near the old airport road and I’m genuinely excited about it because the exhaust note alone is enough to make me forget all the horror stories I’ve read about Italian electronics and sticky buttons, but I’m also trying not to be that guy who buys a car with his heart and then six months later discovers the skyhook shocks are leaking fluid onto his garage floor and the cam cover gaskets are weeping oil onto the hot exhaust manifolds, the car drove beautifully on the test loop they let me take it on and there were no warning lights or weird clunks but I know these ZF gearboxes can act up if they’ve never had a fluid change and the infotainment screen likes to delaminate in this heat, I spent a good chunk of last night reading through Maserati Life forums and it seems like half the owners say it’s the best daily driver they’ve ever had and the other half are posting about random limp mode events that cost more than the car’s monthly payment to diagnose, so I’m thinking it’s probably wise to line up a proper Maserati pre purchase inspection AbuDhabi style with a shop that actually knows where to look for the common oil seep spots and can scan the suspension module for any stored height sensor faults, anyone in the area gone down this road with a used Ghibli or Quattroporte and can tell me if it’s worth the extra couple hundred dirhams to have someone put it on a lift before I sign anything.
