Gd find Andy, I'd entertain that if it were closer to 39k.

 

[Wack61]

give it a month

 

[StuartW]

Now that is a bit special

Offer them £39k - they'd probably take it. But you'd want to change the steering wheel - glossy slippy black carbon that gets hot in the sun is a rubbish surface for a steering wheel.

I agree on the steering wheel Ewan - I felt the same when I tried it - I prefer alcantara personally

 

[Andyk]

Dan had a carbon wheel in his GTS and he said it was OK as I said the same to him.........

I think this car was for sale with this same company about 5 months ago.....I think AMT are a lease company but could be wrong....Either was I think this car is perfect....for me that is....rear seat entertainment as well is a lovely (£5000) option to have especially with the boys......

Chris, I would make a cheeky offer at 39k as you never know....The price looks about right with the next Sport GTS for sale at 46k but only has 14k on the clock but is a year older. Always room for negotiation though. If my numbers come up this week it will be on my drive...

 

[StuartW]

At £39k, that would be an excellent buy. It's very well optioned and must have had an eye watering price when new

 

[Andyk]

Would agree Stuart...these cars start at 40k these days...and OK there is that one that Top Gear used at 34k but we know all is not right with the car......This looks a great spec and price and currently there are only 4 for sale including the top gear one......this one, the Nuvola one which is wrapped in matt grey at 46k and a dealer car at 52k.....

 

[StuartW]

In that case even the asking price looks fair -39k miles is nothing to this engine

 

[Andyk]

And I don't think they will drop much further price wise. Rare and desirable...Remember DIcky telling me that they are being bought up by those in the know as the the new car is very different.

 

[StuartW]

Fair enough, I would like to think I would hold at that price but as good as we all think these cars are, it is still a very limited market of course

 

[Andyk]

Actually the dealer car is 57k with 23k on the clock......IS it really worth 15k more than the original car posted....Plus is doesn't have the black bits that for me makes the Sport GTS stand out...

[Ebenezer]

Bit too black?
Eb

 

[Andyk]

Yes would imagine it would be for some. Not a black fan but on the model I think it suits more than any other colour.

 

[daverichardson]

Sorry guys - not for me
I agree with all that has been said here though, very desirable top of the range model at an excellent price
but
it is indeed too black everywhere.
The steering wheel is awful, the rear console is awful, coupled with looking out onto a large black bonnet it would be a dark place to be.
sunroof may have helped?
hey ho each to their own..................

 

[StuartW]

No Maserati is a dark place to be Dave!

 

[daverichardson]

yes good point

 

[Andyk]

Think I would agree on the interior being to black if it wasn't for the light grey piping. Always liked black with a different colour piping to break it up but as you say we are all different.

 

[Needamaser]

Other than the steering wheel I love it.
As they said on Top Gear you could imagine a QP being used by the Mafia and I think it looks menancing.
Had thought of a move up eventually to a GT but when you look at what you can get for a lot less in a QP I am really tempted.
Where prices go with them will be interesting.
