    Well after being out of a trident for nearly a year, I finally got into a Lambo.

    Stunning car in a proper Lamborghini colour too - they just look wrong in boring colours such as white or black - my friend owned a Huracan in Verde Mantis, it was truly amazing and I was blessed he let me drive it! Well done @Contigo and health to enjoy!

    Not really an oldie, not really a newbie QP V owner

    I'm looking for nearside rear, does the front and rear use the same part?

    Not really an oldie, not really a newbie QP V owner

    Brilliant Gaz, thank you, I've just found one for £80 less than a facelift one!

    Not really an oldie, not really a newbie QP V owner

    Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if the window regulator on a pre facelift will be unchanged for the facelift?

    Not really an oldie, not really a newbie QP V owner

    Not been on here for a few year so thought it would be polite to introduce myself (again) I did own a 2009 FL 4.2 QPV way back when but now own a 2010 Quattroporte 4.2, love the car and I’m just about to start working through a small list of little niggles that need addressing such as a window...

    Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale Body kit

    If you've been offered £30k already, you want to bite his hands off.

    Jaguar XF Diesel Opinions please.

    I own a 2014 Jag XF S and I think it’s brilliant; 50mpg on a run with 275bhp, really a great combination.

    Couple of facelift QP GTS questions...

    It’s not just a Maserati thing; if you think their depreciation is bad I’m looking at similar circa 10 year old S65 AMG’s (a £160,000 car) that are around £25,000!

    Couple of facelift QP GTS questions...

    Fully agree, I love the QP V and they offer unbeatable value for money in my opinion but the market is minuscule for them which is, in part, down to their perceived unreliability.

    Couple of facelift QP GTS questions...

    I've seen two under £30k in the last six months, this being the third. I've been looking for an S65 AMG for the best part of three month without much luck, I'm not worrying about rushing to view the GTS (absolutely snowed under with work at the minute) because even what seem to be well priced...

    Thanks for the advice and offer John, I’ll be in touch if I do end up buying it.

    Couple of facelift QP GTS questions...

    I've been on the hunt for a Mercedes S65 AMG for a couple of months now but with them being very thin on the ground my attention turned back to the Quattroporte and I found this on my search...

    Why are QPs so cheap?

    The QP V is probably the best looking four door saloon ever made with a soundtrack to die for and I was a proud owner of a facelift a year ago... However... to the average petrolhead there are two main problems - 1. Power; at the QPV's price point there is so many other options with circa...

    Quattroporte Buyers Advice

    Just thought I'd add that I'm neutral when discussing QP V values as well; I'm not selling one or trying to buy one so I have no genuine interest stakes in the valuations.

    Quattroporte Buyers Advice

    A black 4.7 GTS recently sold at under £30k, the goldy colour one (that still hasn't sold) is at £27,940. Those, any QP V, above £30k and higher are on sale for absolutely ages which is a direct result of the new model (and nowhere near as beautiful) hitting the thirties which is simply down...
