See my favourites below, first choice is the grandsport..... As always I am sure you are right Catman. probably the Granturismo is a car that I could use for some long journeys with no stress but lacks the instant classic style of the grandsport. Just the infotaiment....it will age very badly...

looks amazing in the pics and great colour combo. Classic "E" error on the dashboard from the external temp sensor! Tempting but too many miles...has to be cheaper

I had a 4200 for many years and after selling it I have always missed it! (but I have always kept reading this forum!) Now I am thinking to go back but not sure which one to buy. I feel the grandsport is the car that will maintain its value best and being an improved 4200 (at least in my eyes)...

I am based in Munster at present if you would like to have a chat. On this website you will find a full list of item to check before buying. Post details of what you would like to buy and I might be able to advice you in detail F

They will definitely let me in to have a good look! the problem is no keys! that might cost dear. Conaero, can a U CAT be one where the damage was not reported because minimal or the claim agreed privately not to impact no claim status? I will have a look and report

There is a 2003 (MY 2002) coming up at HBC auctions in east London. I am going to see it and will try to buy if in decent conditions Do you know this stolen recovered car? in the pictures seems to be in good condition but of course the risk is with the clutch and other expensive components...

Thanks for the advice. I think for a Maserati I prefer to buy privately ideally someone from this forum. I know the car has been loved. the risk to buy at action and realise the car has a massive problem is big even if with my knowledge I should identify the problems in advance. For nearly new...

after selling my 4200, decision that I regret but I had to do it for practical reasons, I am looking for the next buy and the best channel to buy. I am looking for a Touareg but also tempted by the new Quattroporte...for me Maserati remains the best and my separation will be not for long...

if a car is well maintained mileage should not an issue and the 4200 engine seems to be strong but definitely mileage will effect price. I definitely prefer a low miles car. I was surprised to sell mine at asking price in few weeks from advertising on this forum only. Though my car was very...

Sold at full asking price to a very nice person. Very sorry to see my car go. It looked and sounded great! F

GeoffCapes is a smart and nice person that wants a fantastic deal for himself! If he insists he might find one but he with Maseratis is a tough call. Is not like buying a 2 years old BMW. I have received from him a fair offer, which was much appreciated, but I would like to be nearer to the...

Thanks a lot for your comments. they are really appreciated as I have always appreciated the help from this forum. I hope my contributions has been appreciated too! I have to say I have found the people in this forum very professional, is this a trait of Maserati drivers?, but it can happen...

What is the best site to sell a car like mine these days? autotrader.co.uk? pistonheads? carandclassic.co.uk? are there any specialised magazines? Thanks, Fran

I like your thinking and you are probably right!

Thanks for your suggestions. Now price added also to the body of the text, 16,700£ which I believe is a fair price for a car in very good conditions and with a pristine history and aligned to private asking prices of similar cars according to my research. I have taken the pictures on the top...
