They describe it as an MC sportline. I wonder if when they key in the registration into autotrader it pre fills some data based on the DVLA details.

That’s exactly what happens. And Maserati UK should do something about it because I’m sure the DVLA won’t be bothered

Maserati UK are only interested in selling new cars not legacy vehicles despite it being a far larger and more profitable market, look at the number of independents versus dealerships. Employing an admin assistant to trawl through build lists and DVLA records is far from their minds.

Further to the above and hesitancy with the MC20

It may be a very good car but anyone with half an oz of sense will look at historic residuals.

Ferrari and Porsche have this nailed so they can stick a wonky donkey badge on it and it will sell.

Maserati, next to McLaren have the worst residuals.

Maybe if they played the long game, dealt and supported legacy models, residuals would rise?

Just a though.

Granturismos have always been among the very best cars on the road for residual prices.

Just to add to this, lots of misconceptions. A few of you have a 10 year old 2 Seat Stradale that’s worth +/- £60k, 50% of its value retained at 10 years and 25k miles. Pretty bloody good that. A 2014 GT Sport at £40k is 40% of its original value at 8 years old, for a standard model that’s outstanding.

Ferrari, some, such as a Pista, Speciale etc are very good at holding value. Some losses are eye watering. I recently sold a 2012 FF, £320k new, 9 years old, £107k with 22k miles on it. Too many models to list to compare.

Porsche are about the best % wise; but they do build what the majority of people consider to be the best built cars.

I keep getting emails and texts from Nottingham (& phone calls) and Egham asking to buy my car as it’s under 10 years and 15k miles….. so looks like they are extending stock to find something to sell!!

Likewise, and the offers aren't bad either....

Porsche may be the best % wise, although in many cases using the list price new against the value at 4,5,6 years whatever, is often a bit false, as most Porsche’s have huge amounts of extras added to list.

An 80k list new 911 is often actually 100k with ‘essential’ for resale options, so the 40-50k residual, whilst still ok is not so impressive when actual purchase price is used rather than base list.
