I recognise this car and made an enquiry when I was looking for a GT. The seller was quite open and has pictures of the damage before repair.

That price looks quite reasonable to me. If I was in the market, I’d be tempted by this car subject to checking the repairs etc etc

"... this car sustained very light side damage"...

And seller's email as follows:

"The mileage is soo low because it was first bought by a rich
Person from london who only done about 3000 miles
From new till last year when it was traded into Romans International,
If you google them you'll know they are one the biggest
Supercars garages around,I have the first purchase receipt
From HR OWEN Maseratti [*** CONTENT REMOVED ***] has all service receipts
From HR OWEN Maseratti,two keys and tracker chips

Then this car was bought from Romans international for
£59,000 in November 2016,by another Rich individual
From London who within 6 months and only drivening it about a 1000 miles
was involved in a minor accident on a street.
The car only got written off because of the logistics ans back order from Italy
Of the parts.

The car has only had a door and quarter changed
The car got repaired by a proper repair centre,which
I will be receiving a invoice and guarantees"

I'd be even more interested now. I'd want to double check the chassis under inspection and make sure all is straight but that looks superficial to me and I'd be pleased that it did not involve serious mechanical damage.

Shaping up to be a bargain for someone. As Matt said, get a couple of K off, even 1k, get it inspected properly and that's a nearly new GTS for the same price as a Golf GTD.

That is a bargain, 4k miles, engine number not affected by variators. Get an inspection done on it and run a cheap car....

How has it ended up in Middlesbrough, and not sure who you would get to PDI it up here, maybe the garage that I had my exhaust changed at...

all the damage looks a foot up so I'd say a van hit it at an angle , seems crazy a car worth that much money gets written off for that amount of damage
