2005 Quattroporte - 94,000 Miles - FSH - £8,500 - Price reduced for quick sale

@ChrisNico I hope you get decent bids in the next couple of hours on the Ebay auction.

Ouch, £7000, if they pay up somebody got a bargain

I did bid initially and would love to get back into a QPV again. Was so tempted but trying to be a bit more sensible these days! So on reflection after a few days I retracted my bid although it would likely have won the auction at £7k I expect.

So very tempting as a less risky QP you could find after the works. Just felt at 94k miles it might be a harder one to resell and it wouldn't be a long term car so kept my sensible head on.

I would have waited a few months and sold in the spring if I'm honest.

Sad.

 

[Alan Surrey]

Beautiful car.
Unbelievably lucky new owner.

 

[philw696]

Yeah I watched the last half an hour thinking there was going to be a sniper but nothing a sign of the times I'm guessing.
As Alan has said if it was a genuine buyer they have a Stunning and Well sorted car indeed.

Very happy to read the many positive things above. I’m the lucky winning bidder and am due to collect on Thursday all being well. Having spoken to Chris I’m very confident it will be and I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the fold!

You have to be in it to win it - well done !

Delighted theis glorious car is staying in the Forum
Thanks for letting us know @Erlingtheyounger

 

[Alan Surrey]

Where abouts are you? Might we meet at a meet sometime?

 

[Erlingtheyounger]

I live just outside Cheltenham. Yep, that’s a distinct possibility.

 

[Alan Surrey]

Already looking forward to it.
Meantime, let us know how you get on with the car.....

Not far from Mazer Mark and I.

Will do. All being well I’ll be adding a picture to my avatar!!!

Where are you based? I’m in search of a competent local specialist for smaller maintenance. My intention at this stage is to use Sports Italia for any bigger jobs as they seem to be highly recommended?

Well done and good luck. You're lucky (Chris not so...sorry!) that I took myself out of the bidding as you would have been paying a little more maybe. Or I would have bought it if that was your highest bid

One never knows what a ‘top bid’ might actually be in the heat of the moment!!!!

I only finally decided to bid late morning on Sunday and fully expected to lose out the car tbh. Time will tell if the car gods were smiling on me!

Well done. A fantastic car and a bargain. Enjoy.
