Purchase of Maserati Granturiso S MC Shift few questions

[dannywooly]

Lol just noticed the one I was looking at has jumped from 34.5 to 36k

Congrats! That's a lovely colour combo.

Transported? Surely you will be wanting the drive home to familiarise yourself with her?

Cheers Geoff I think it looks awesome I hadn't noticed the tail pips in black bit of a bonus, being brutally honest I would have preferred a black headliner but it's only a small thing I'm sure I won't care when I'm driving lol

I'll have a chat with him when we're at Portsmouth. Took me 3 days from deciding to get one to buying one.
Can anyone beat that?

Thats the best way Mark. its never a good idea to THINK about buying an italian supercar. Everyone knows its just plain daft.
But we love them anyway.

Draft but worthy! LOL

I started the fret a little last night (normal for making a big purchase for me), mainly over the headlining, as im buying the car blind was starting to panic it won't look nice but i really think im overthinking it some what! My preference was black from pillars up and i noticed this is a cream hopefully its fine and i'm being a large lassy about it!

I'll be having the rear quarters tinted heavier than the fronts as i really like the rears tinted, i think from the pics it looks like the fronts are around 70% already.

Gonna stick with the X77 DGW reg on the car as i've wanted it a while and can move to the Cali next as i think thats the progression from Masser! LOL

Will see if Richard is able to hold out so i can go and pick her up, but if not had a quote for transfer of £308 fully insured which isn't bad.

Insurance is a little steeper than the 2008 as but not by much, it will have fresh MOT and service so thats good, and has new rears on it. SO hopefully all being well i'll get around 6-8 months of trouble free enjoyment!

Oh my that first ride to work over B roads at 630 in the morning can't bladdy wait!!!

Suspect they have read the forum and decided to fix the exhaust valves, hence the price rise.

Do you have any photos you can post?
I can't see any on RG site.
The headlining will be nice... cream with brighten up the chin and make it more luxurious

I really wanted Bianco interior as i think its just nicer than black (had black for 8 years now) and i've just spotted a bianco with black headliner and actually its looks quite unmatched where it meets the bianco like checker board. So i think im being a little overzealous in my thinking im sure its fine the dark quartes will tone down the light colours nicely but it will still feel as you say luxurious.

I think the bianco headlining will look awesome. Beautiful car- much more luxurious / cruiser than full on mean.
No other cars can compete for this price range.
Next step- put a few K on and go for a 4 seater strad..
Get Richard sourcing you one for your next!

What a beauty! Haven't seen pictures but can't imagine a mixed headliner with the light interior would look any good. I prefer dark interiors personally but maybe thats just years of ensuring the kids don't ruin a light one.

I love the front seat style in your one. Well done

Are you sure you want to tint the rear windows. It is quite dark in the back already when you sit in there.

Or maybe it is because I have an all black interior.

Yeah the interior is quite bright so a 35% tint on the rear quarters will look nice I think

 

[Ebenezer]

My QP has tinted rears and I would prefer it otherwise personally. Don't like the contrast between front and rear when you look at the car.

Yes I have that on my 335d I'm only going for a slight tint so not so night and day

 

[Felonious Crud]

My rear windows and screen are tinted. It was done when I got it and I'm not sure what % it is. I's not gangsta-tint, much more subtle than that. I'd guess sub-50%. Looks great.
