Yes, that obviously goes without saying, you check the car's history before buying it. But what I'm saying is , it doesn't guarantee anything still which is why I personally don't take it as gospel. Stuff can still go wrong (and if often does) such as rust, timing chain, etc. None of these...

A good one. What constitutes a good one? It's such a subjective thing. Even the most brilliant, well looked after car can develop a major fault. It's a machine, things will go wrong, it's inevitable so I don't buy into that nonsense.

I disagree, There's a silver GTS with 40k miles on desperate seller going for 25k. The YouTuber Jay Emm paid around 25/26k for his last year. So you can get a GTS for that money.

The price is way too ambitious, Richard has sold cheaper examples with lower miles and one even included carplay/android auto. I'm on the look out for one but I personally wouldn't pay over the odds no matter how rare these are. The GTS models in my opinion have become overrated because the S...

Ok, will look that up too

I see, cool

Sorry who's Vic?

The car is in Wolverhampton. So how do I get hold of a specialist?

Hi, I'm considering buying a QP5 that's located over a 100 miles from me and wondering how to go about the prepurchase inspection. Should I just hire a generic local mechanic to give it a look over or should I try and find a Maserati specialist who knows a bit more than your regular mechanic...

That's not a bad set up you got there.

No, they have different dimensions so you're prolly also going to need a new wooden panel which in itself is pretty costly
