Suspect you are correct BB. I thought maybe 10'ish?
However at last there has been a movement as predicted on here and Phil tells me he reckons minimum 30% uplift in last couple of months.
Based on their experiences and others in the trade trying to buy good cars he says the days of cheap 3200 and 4200's are coming to an end.
Saw a facelift 4200 go through the auction at Errol a couple of months ago. Outrun was there as well and we thought given car story and in an auction maybe £10-£12k. Went over £15k. Interesting to see where prices go in the future.

Interesting. Personally I don't buy into the idea of these sort of things going up medium/long term but if they are rising short term then so be it. Anyway any capital gain will be eaten up by maintenance costs which themselves will rise as the cars get older and Maserati ceases making parts. Also I don't see a 75k 3200 as an investment proposition. Still that's my view and investments can go up in value apparently.

It was £10750 for that car six months ago IIRC.

If so way too cheap if it's a good car. 4200 prices have also firmed up recently.

The one we have just finished will go out at about £12k (99.9% done deal) for a quick sale (63k miles) and I've sold another with higher miles on for more in the last 6 months.

Well its arrived! Went and picked her up on Fri, nice little 4hr drive back, hooked up with a blue Ghibli, reg MAS 759 or something similar, as I joined the A303, and then a nice little jaunt around North Devon today with Piston Heads. Absolutely love it, so glad I went for the cambio corsa, and not the manual, left leg is feeling a bit left out, but so much better for press on driving!!

Good stuff. Might well pass an MOT, but looks like it's borderline for the future
