The funny thing is that only a few months ago we were all talking about how the prices have started to go up on the GS + MC but something must have happened between then and now because you would be lucky to sell your MC for 32 as things stand.

I didn't - People are holding onto cash - car market is flat,
Mind you, I called into Redline in Knaresbrough today and there were a lot of top end (+£50k) cars with sold stickers in windows.
They had a Strad with an awful interior...

My old GTS? It s difficult to say to be honest - the spec is so much different from all the others out there.
You can only tell how much you are willing to pay when you see it in the flesh. I miss it still and would be very tempted to buy it back if it became available. Amazing what alcantara and carbon does to me. If you took that out of it I wouldn't be interested at 25.
Hewbie's would have interest if viewed due to the Wheels, facelift bumper and steering wheel.

Maybe that was an exaggeration. I personally think the MC Shifts are the best VFM Maseratis by some way. I think its bonkers how some prices are going. The 4.2s should be virtually unsellable now looking at how the 4.7 prices have gone.
Brexit + Austerity + Trump + Maserati management = Disaster for Maserati

The 4.7 has considerably higher running costs, however. That's one of the reasons I didn't stretch for one. Changing the brakes goes from being a service item to being a significant outlay.

YMMV

There are a lot of sweeping statements made about values. As we've discussed lots of times, a good one can be £10-15k dearer than a bad one with 3200's, 4200's etc. This is the same as GTS's, a bad 60k mile car at trade in is £25k; a good £40k mile car is £35-40k. We can not talk values accurately without viewing and inspecting the cars.

I would say a 4.7 would cost no more to run than a 4.2. The front brake discs are the only more expensive item and need replacing every 30-40k miles or so. On the other hand, the 4.7 cars are a couple of years newer, so will be potentially in better condition underneath, had improved build quality, and the vast majority have the modified engines too.

Yep other than clutch costs on the MC Shift and discs I can't think why it is more expensive to run a 4.7 really. Suspension and most other parts are shared.

I absolutely bow to data over my own perception. Certainly it was my perception when I bought mine. But I was probably wrong :)

The same website values my 2007 4200 at £23883 handy in the event of a write off heaven forbid.

I have always viewed the values they show as retail and treat then with a pinch of salt. The reg number/MOT history is useful though.

We need to remember that there are only a small number of places that will touch our cars trade in wise which is strange given that the % retained value on them is very strong. My car has cost me about £8k pa in depreciation discounted retail to trade in the six years I have had it. I'm ok with that and compared with, say, buying a new 911 that is fine.
