Great value car with a ppi and an extended Maserati warranty. Lovely colour combo too.

Pretty much identical to mine... but less than I paid from a main dealer just a few months ago! Still, you don't buy a car and expect to not lose a few quid. Anyway, this one looks like great value. Whoever buys it will not be disappointed, I'm sure.

 

[bigbob]

The vendor knows what to do to shift it with regard to the warranty. Had to be cheaper than a main dealer car so don't feel down about it. Anyway, your's is a 2009 registered car and this is a 2008.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Thanks for the reassurance, Bob. Main dealer and "main indie" equivalents seem to be running about 60kish, which I suppose covers prep, profit, risk, overheads and so on. This one will be a great buy for someone who doesn't need to finance it (unless they can find a lender who will deal with a private seller).

Lots of choice out there, which of course usually impacts prices in a positive way for the buyer.

IIRC, there was a GT Cabrio for sale recently (trade) with 1,000 miles on the clock for less than 70 grand. Wow.

There are some goodies on AutoTrader - this one caught my eye for some reason: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...h/true/postcode/co160hb/radius/1501?logcode=p

No MC Shifts for less than 94k, though.

 

[dickygrace]

That is a nice one Adam, brave man to buy a yelllow Cabrio but nonetheless it's the nuts.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Like I say, it caught my eye! Bit too conspciuous for my tastes. A few k more will get you lower milage and a whole pile less attention!

 

[dickygrace]

If I were buying one now, I'd have a Mediterraneo Blu, like one of these if I could find a good one, having said that, I'll probably change my mind in 6 months time:

They're the only two for sale in the UK at present too. Don't know whether no one chose them in this colour new, or whether they sell really well as used examples.

I love that colour nice to know you agree with me

Pending that evasive lottery win, the second one for me. Looks cracking with the darker wheels. Would black wheels make it even beter still? Pondering whether to have mine powder coated in black come the next post-kerb refurb.

I think anthracite is dark enough but some prefer black, as always with these things, it's down to personal preference.

 

[Felonious Crud]

If I went for black a part of me would be fairly sure I'd made a mistake. I'll check with Mrs. N, probably the best thing to do where colour or taste is concerned.

Love it....I know lots do not like grey but I think it looks great on the car...

 

[Andyk]

For a few more k's you could get this one from a Maserati dealer....OK its silver and not for everyone and for me it needs the grey wheels to make it work but only 9k on the clock..

Good lord! I like the silver, it's the red inside that's doing nothing for me.

Good lord! I like the silver, it's the red inside that's doing nothing for me.

Shows why there's such a wide range of colour schemes. Silver is one of the least popular paint jobs, while red is one of the most popular interiors! Good job we all like different stuff or all our cars would be identical.

 

[Andyk]

Yep and I'm one of those that would have silver, dark wheels and red leather at the drop of a hat................

 

[Felonious Crud]

The silver outside / red inside is an eye-watering combo. Personally I like the silver but as Dicky says it just isn't popular. For me silver needs a bonnet stripe, black wheels and black interior. Otherwise red paintjob looks great but unpopular due to perceived resale issues.
