    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Ah - misunderstood! :) Yeah I'd never trust a repair, just too many factors and the risk of a twisted chassis so geo is out forever. I'll admit I'm a bit of a snob, I like to buy <25k miles. I'm wealthy but not a multimillionaire, so I don't buy brand new either. I'm not stupid, let someone...

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Thanks but I won't be buying a Cat D ever and the mileage is too high for me.

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Limited numbers too I take it? Yes it appears I've been looking at pictures of the MC Stradale, with the rear central - race expired - exhaust exits. Even hard to find none dealer examples of this model, unless I'm not looking hard enough.

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Okay so that's the model with no rear seats and 2011 onwards? I've found some dealer examples with low mileage (sub 20k) for 50-70k. White with red leather, very Essex but... wow, still stunning. Not sure I've found a colour that doesn't suit this beautiful car.

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Yes - our garage is separate to the house and a little drafty. I've already had a quote to seal, insulate and proof it, essentially making it habitable... for the cars. :)

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Seems like most of the stock online is dealer. Isn't there a reputed tuner for the V8 in the UK? Considering the displacement, the peak power seems modest (likely very reliable). This is the front bumper I like, the sweeping cheeks/grin.

    I can't see that link, just goes to the forum homepage for me.

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    I was looking at a 911 Turbo as they seem to have bottomed, but the engine note just isn't a Maser V8! Fair comment. Ah, point 2 is an issue. I'd probably use the car once a month. What sort of things go wrong?

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Thanks guys, I should have stipulated it's not that I can't afford the depreciation, it's that the older I get (I'm only 36) the tighter I become. Perhaps I should live a little and stop being an old fart. I can stomach 10k in two years. Of course we'd all rather not throw money away but it is...

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    More like 60k. I was expecting that kind of response to be honest, as I know it might offend people asking the question. Problem is everytime I stand next to one and start it up the hair on my neck pings on end, that's incredibly hard to resist. Apologies if my first post came across like a...

    Depreciation of the Granturismo

    Hi all, Sorry for a somewhat cynical first post title. I've been keeping my eye on GT's for a few years now, I've always loved the sound and look of the car. I really fancy a mint one as my weekend car. I think the >2010 Sport MC Shift 4.7 is the one, with the revised front 'swooping' cheeks...
