Hi Greg, in Cheshire? Looking for a Gransport?
If only there was a very reputable dealer near you with a GS in stock...
@dickygrace to the Blu Mediterraneo telephone
https://www.richardgracecars.co.uk/stocklist/
And welcome to the forum.
Hi,
I have already been to that garage to have a chat around them in general the owner was extremely helpful.
I am getting married in June which is costing £35k so need to get that paid for before commiting or I wont be getting married...
As it is, if a bargain crops up in the meantime I may be tempted however so keeping my eyes peeled!
Added a picture of the current milk float the company car tax is cheap at least!

A big warm welcome Greg….First of all …35k on a wedding !!! Good loed is that how much they cost these days…..
Anyway in to the GS….You have spoken to Dicky so know he is a great guy. If I was buying I don’t think I would buy from anyone else as he is very much respected on here and his stock is spot on……
If mileage doesn’t bother you and you want a good value one the blue one on Autotrader with 117k on the clock is well known on here and at 15k is a good 10k lower than others plus when it was looked at by Maserati specialist they said it was better than cars with hall the miles. It has had a couple of owners off here and has been serviced impeccably. It is in the for sale thread on here for more info. Could be worth a look.

Welcome
Why would anyone spend that amount on a wedding, who are you trying to impress - when all said an done its just a contract, a meal and a disco and people will not enjoy themselves less if it was a third of that.
Good luck with the car search - do you have any thoughts on colour and mileage?

To be honest that includes the engagement rings and honeymoon so the actual wedding is about 27k which is average or just below average. The last wedding I attended cost double that
My partner works in the industry and she doesn't like fancy clothes, bags or cars etc so it's the one thing I owe her as she does pay her way and is certainly a keeper
I have seen the blue one and I am tempted but would only want to pay 14ish just due to the miles as I know it will be bloody difficult to sell in the future as I have had a couple of high millage Z4s in the past and it was the same then .

Yes agree would probably be a keeper. 14k….You never know if you don’t ask.
I have dropped them a message, if I got it for that sort of money its a keeper. If not I wait a few more months and get a lower mileage one for £20 - £25k range.
Massively low mileage has never really interested me in all honesty, its good maintenance that I value more as there is nothing worse for a car then it being sat in the garage unused imo.
I have had two Z4s with circa. 120k miles on them and had no issues at all. They were both just a pain to sell on afterwards as people see over 100k miles and assume a car is knackered when a 50k example could be arguably worse as at 10-15 years old the bushes will all be shot etc. anyway.

I just did the sums on mine five years ago, if I include (like you) the rings honeymoon and the wedding, I spent more than that!
Still, she was a worth investment!
Get the GS before the wedding, it will look great in the pictures!
My 4200 at my wedding.

There is the Fuji white one for sale on here that may tickle your fancy - yes an import, but the present owner has done a huge amount on the car over the last 12 months.
