It's a lot of car for 25k , hard to believe it's pushing 10 years old looking at it

Need pay tax bill.....
Will have a look , I'm only 4 miles from that dealer.
Wanted a GTS really, and tbh it's too nice for me as no garage

Wilmslow apparently according to my post code 94 miles away and they will not move it closer to me according to the advert.
I have 70k on mine and this one much less at around 18k and is 2 years younger
Should I??????????

How did they figure a price of "£24,581"?

(Also, could the OP or one of the Mods put an apostrophe in the thread title please!!)

Does look like a very random price but I guess there is a comparator they want to be cheaper than.

There is an independent up here that prices all his 911s as £XX911. Brilliant or naff, not sure which.

It's a gorgeous looking car.

Does anyone else find it strange that an Aston main dealer will happily sell an extremely nice example of a used Maserati that a Maserati main dealer wouldn't touch?

Not really. They are only interested in the current models, the old ones don’t fit their image. My local BMW garage has a 1930s 328 and a 3.0CSL in the showroom, local Porsche dealer has a 1984 Carrera, local Aston dealer has a DB7, the Bentley dealer used to have a 90s Continental.

What does the Maserati dealers have? A Levante with “Harvey Nichols” plastered all over it.

Which is exactly why I do find it strange. It's such a shame that Maserati doesn't seem more proud of its heritage, including the more recent cars.

It's weird isn't Adam....Aston Martin will sell a 12 year old Vantage but a Maserati dealer probably wouldn't touch a 10 year old example of their own cars. It's about confidence in your products maybe. Or maybe as above doesn't fit the new image.

Given some parts for the QP V are already unavailable and or in short supply dealers are probably rightfully scared of the supportability of some of the older cars. It is such a shame the factory doesn’t give better backup as it would help used values. Can you imagine for example BMW saying, sorry sir, we don’t have any more of that part for your 2011 5 series. It would never happen. Somehow though they get away with it.
