This is heart breaking. I might have to sell my baby to fund a work project I am doing. I really don’t want to but I need to find 50k in a relatively short space of time.

With this in mind with the current market my want for nothing Granturismo MC Shift, with or without spacers and X Pipe is up for sale.

It’s done 42k, just been detailed doesn’t need anything doing, 4 new Michelin Pilot Super Sports all round. New pads on the front. Clutch was done 3,000 miles ago so the car is spot on and needs nothing.
Full black leather with blue stitching.

Goes up for sale with Dicky Grace very soon.

WOW!.... am amazed.

Don’t know whether to say good luck with the sale, or to tell you you are nuts and that you shouldn’t even think of selling!

However, I’m presuming it’s a stepping stone to bigger and better things, and seems a fab price for what is a gorgeous looking car...

If whoever buys it doesn’t want the spacers, then first dibs please!

Sometimes after the third post I’ve forgotten what the LOOK! there’s a squirrel!

Anyway, Mark, bollox, NO! Sell your wife’s Merc minivan instead.

Will be going up for sale. One of the perks of buying cars for cash, it means you can release funds if you need to. All three will be going up for sale.
Down sizing in the short term.

Sods law says the moment I sell the massive order I’ve be waiting for will come in!
And then cry myself to sleep having sold my baby.

Mark, I know how much you love this car....must be a big decision to sell. It's a lovely car. Good luck with the sale and your venture.

I really admire that move, Mark and wish you all the very best.

My advice on the GTS would be to SoR it somewhere. Few people are brave / wise / informed enough to buy private so you might be as well as to spend a couple of k getting a pro to sell it. It means that the punter spends more and you get less, but you'll hear lots of "ooh, I'd love to but I wanted one just a shade bluer" kind of BS excuses and see little folding. Worth a chat with Voicey?

Good advice Adam...From looking and some experiences on here it takes some time. To sell so giving to someone like Dicky could be an option.

Surprised, I was only thinking this would only come up for sale when you had found something more entertaining but if the business opportunity sets you up better for the future go for it.

Good luck with sale but an SOR deal maybe the quickest way of turning it into cash.

It's a tough decision but it's my retirement opportunity. And hopefully I should start seeing a return within the next 12 months, so it certainly won't be my last Maserati.

I just really don't want to sell her. But it's just too good an opportunity. Head vs Heart. :too_sad:

I agree with Mr Crud.
Following a massive pile up I decided to get out of my fast cars and gave my MC Shift to Nareman at Nuvola who did a good job of selling it quite quickly.
He will charge a % and a fee, but will market it properly and stick a warranty on it.
Well worth it when you factor in all the tyre kickers our cars atract...
Good luck!
