This one has been for sale for some months, wondering how long do dealers persist in trying to sell at a certain ticket price before off loading/marking down substantially?

I think its come down a grand or two since they had it on the forecourt.

Must have been a high miler for its year when they first had it Frank , my guess an offer of £31 or slightly over this time of year they would bite your hand off

do love those yellow callipers

It says on the spec it has tech cloth , either my eyes or my pc but no way can i see tech cloth its all leather , or either thats not the car forsale

[GransportFan1]

it is too expensive for a tech cloth car.

Of course not Frank , they are used to dealing with cars that loose in depreciation in one year , what our cars are worth , different world

Nevertheless Loz........whats wrong with a lower rate for cars 5/6/7 yrs old.....or trying at least to be inviting to all owners of their marque, I find it all rather mind-boggling.....and heard a few stories too....oh well....will just keep looking and hope they don't double the ferry prices over to GB!!!

Not saying its right Frank , more, of thats how it is , their time will come , even the likes of DL and HR Owen/ Marranello's are starting to price match as volume sales of the high end stuff start to dry up a little

I know Loz.......but its not JUST a car we drive.........don't they get that...sure they are in business.......but it combines several aspects of car ownership, lifestyle and passion absent from 90+% of car ownership....IMHO.......

I spoke to them many years ago about a used 3200 and found them a bit....well...rude...didn't seem to want me custom back then.

Been for sale since May/early June by my reckoning. Did actually come up as going to auction in June, but I dont know if it actually went. Prce was £34995 then and was actually put UP a grand in September. Thats an interesting pricing logic!

Really think that the bubble will burst next year on GS....Lots for sale that have been up for an age...Dealers slowly dropping prices realising that 37/40k is not selling.....By next April I think we will see far more GS under 30k..........But then what do I know.

I think you're right Andy, but then the challenge will be finding one that has been looked after. At the moment, you've still got half a chance of finding one that has been serviced as it should have been (though, I must say I'm finding it quite challenging!) and the older these cars get, the more they will fall into the hands of guys not prepared to service them once a year, let alone twice when the timings are out.

I reckon good ones will be above £20k for a long while yet, but I agree, I think they're due a drop (and ARE dropping) and I think in a year or so's time, it'll be the exception rather than the rule to see one over £30k.

Does not sound so cheap to me. My car is an LE March 2007 and only covered 12,000 miles with full Maserati Main Dealer Service History and the bonus of a brand new cutch fitted by HR Owen. I doubt it is worth much more than this much higher mileage car

 

[dem maser]

worth 30k to me....
