Yes...

 

[GransportFan1]

they are having more than a laugh, 120k, even a QP GTS with every optional extra on probably wouldn't cost that.

who buys a maserati in Aston Martin cherry, and pays £140,000 euros for it and then puts it back for sale, sounds like they financial problems

 

[Parisien]

Some other prices for the GT from an earlier thread...............not sure who might buy the above or how they then would import it.


Granturismo (GT model) prices.....from around the globe.....

Just gleaning a few figures .......maybe those in other countries can fill in the gaps.....also if you can quote a ball park figure for annual and major services ( in USD if possible!)

Australia - approx $ 280,000

Korea - $ 240,000

Hong Kong - $200,000

Germany - $190,000

Japan - $160,000

Saudi Arabia - $160,000 ( fully loaded!)

USA - GT-S model $135,000

[Andyk]

Yes...

I'll double yes that LHD or not................QP GT S could be had for far less.

Australia has some of the most competitively priced Maserati QP's in the world - yeah right....

Try US$318,000 for a brand new 4.2 QP. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars...__N=1216 1246 4294965360 4294965351&silo=1011

The Grantursimo S 4.7 is edging around US $350,000

I am missing something, has anyone gone through the worldwide prices and matched them with local import taxes to come up with a way of making a nice little business moving cars around the world.

Yeah, had a think about this myself very briefly, only to find that you have to own and drive the car in the country for a few months before you can resell it. And the import taxes are horrendous.

As an aside, I am thinking of ordering an Aston Martin in Maserati Blue.

Yes Andrew, its been going on( used to go on?!) for a while in the RoI........people from N Ireland and UK...who move to RoI, buy a high end car coming over then sell it after 6 mths or so make a tidy profit.....then buy something more mundane...but only as a one off.
