You like your cars like you like your women!... I’m just too attached to the analogue, noisy old girl.

I never say to the Strad “I’m too tired to play”You like your cars like you like your women!
I bet it doesn't suffer from many headaches, either.I never say to the Strad “I’m too tired to play”
Very limited market for V8’s these days. Add its a Maserati and unfortunately they are even harder to sell with an even smaller market especially if they aren’t being sold by a specialist like Richard Grace. Odd that this hasn’t sold though as the 2 seat Stradale is one of if not the most desirable Maserati of modern times.
Do think prices will Matt with the country looking down the barrel of a recession. I would have thought the next few years selling big engine cars is going to get harder and there could be some bargains coming up over the next year or so until we see light at the end of the tunnel. Prices have already started to drop with some marques. 2 seater may be a good bet due to its rarity but wouldn’t have thought it will be going up in value any time soon until this **** storm is over. Anyone buyer older big engine cars could do well to hold in until next year maybe.
Some of us saying V8’s are hard to sell, they aren’t, just bad ones are. The market is buoyant as prices have fallen greatly. GT Sports are at least £10k cheaper than they were last year (if advertised at a competitive price) and now represent great vfm again. Stradales have always been great value, they’re still a great car for the money at £50k-£70k, but this shows what amazing value they were at the same price point 5 years ago.
Yes absolutely the case, they’re just overpriced cars. They all sell at the correct price, even a bad one.GT does sound great value especially that face lift you have for sale Dicky. Fully understand your view as well Dicky as you will never have issues shifting stock as it’s the best out there and you have a great reputation. It’s the others out there that may have issues who don’t really know the cars and pitfalls. Plenty unsold cars out there that have been for sale for months and more in some cases.
If only Carlsberg set up Car Dealers.Yes absolutely the case, they’re just overpriced cars. They all sell at the correct price, even a bad one.
All the 2 seat Strads (which were built for just one year, 2011) had bucket seats as standard. Then, when the 4 seat Strad was launched, it came with the more normal GT comfy seats. There were never any seat options as such on either version.It's crazy that this car is still for sale. Are they really that difficult to sell?
Also, did they discontinue the bucket seats option after 2011?
Decided I'm going to go see this car this week, it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
If you want me to pre inspect it, get it dropped over to Southampton, I’ll do it for freeDecided I'm going to go see this car this week, it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Good idea. And with winter fast upon us, tax hikes, etc, I’m sure they’ll be keen to sell it. Fingers crossed you can keep your cool, negotiate hard over a few days and then pick up a ******* at an advantageous price.Decided I'm going to go see this car this week, it ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Given it had an expensive main dealer service a year ago, has done virtually no miles since, and will come with a new MOT and a warranty, you can’t really go far wrong.
If it were me, and I liked it on viewing, I’d buy it and then arrange an immediate post-purchase-inspection with Matt. In the unlikely event that anything needed doing, it would be covered by the dealer or the warranty (or, in the very worst case) be returned for a full refund. So I’d view it as a risk-free purchase.
Good luck.

This is good advice, thank you.
Is Matt Sports Italia?
