I'd be surprised if it has a full maserati history at 1500 miles a year , 30 miles a week for 12 years, what a waste

Clutch to consider too as I would wage a bet that it is on the original clutch.

How can it have been driven so sparingly? I've managed 6K in a year, without going anywhere!

Thanks Phil....never used to get issues only recently. Will do as you have said.

 

[GeoffCapes]

Lot of car for not a lot of money!

Would the clutch be an issue as its only done 18k....surely they don't perrish with under use.

I guess it depends how it is driven. When I was researching clutch life on a GTS MCS, Marios @ Autoshield said that he had to change one after just 10k miles but they can also last 50k. I assume this logic also applies to the QP

 

[Andyk]

Some on here has seen clutches go way past 50k as well.

 

[highlander]

my two cents is even if the clutch is needing done this looks a well priced example with very low mileage. if I was in the market for one this would be high on my list to have looked at.

I don't disagree Greg. I must say I am struggling to understand why the clutch needs doing but sure the experts can enlighten.

Maybe a smokescreen while they haggle with the seller?!

Exactly. If it lived in London, then 18k could easily mean a new clutch. On the other hand, if used mainly for long distance, open road driving out of traffic, then maybe 50k+ is on the cards. The Spyder I sold earlier this year had a new clutch at 12.5k, as it spent virtually all its life in central London. I'm sure other owners would be appalled to only get that out of one.

 

[Wack61]

It's an 020 number , stop start traffic and speed bumps , probably explains the low mileage if it's central London , weekend car

 

[Gp79]

Still a bargain if it all checks out even if you only get a year before clutch needs changed.

It should be as new everywhere else.

 

[Contigo]

I'm not sure it's a bargain really but then again I do like a bargain
