Rare indeed Phil..There is another thread somewhere on this car and its on Autotrader for 35kish I believe....A lot of money for a 4.2 but it is very special///

 

[safrane]

Is this one of their handbag specials?

Asking price 35900

I want it, I want it
BUT
it is too big a premium on my 2007 QP

A truly beautiful car, hope it is still for sale in February 2015

 

[D Walker]

I like it but all that gadgetry in the back would be wasted on me!

 

[hodroyd]

Not a bad price for 2008 with low mileage and special edition, it wants a grab at that price..!!

 

[Phil H]

I've been trying to convince my beloved that we need a QP (I like them in Pontevecchio), but it's hard going and I don't think the subject car would even sway it. It is nice though, and I do like quilted seats.

A very rare car but is it worth the 10k premium over a standard last of the line QP.....That is def up for debate....but when you look below for me its not worth the premium over a 2007/2008 car.

2007 -28k on the clock -22995 (13k less)

2007 - 27k on the clock - 25995 (10k cheaper)
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...-quattroporte-4-2-4dr-sat-nav-sunroof/3166010

OK so this one has 80k on the clock but it's 20k cheaper at 16k.......Is the low miles and the limited edition realy worth 20k more ?

2008 - 45k on the clock - 24500 - 11k cheaper...

[daverichardson]

Totally agree with you Andy

 

[allandwf]

5k premium perhaps, but it does seem quite a lot at 10k.

 

[Phil H]

The Limited Edition argument is always a subjective one, and imho few LE's of any marque are truly collectable or worth the huge premiums often asked. In Mas territory an Assetto Corsa might be considered desirable and then you have the GS LE's alongside the QP, but they would pale into insignificance had Maserati the foresight to release 100 very special Alfieris this year.

The Collezione QP is clearly an impressive car, but a £36k tag does seem a bit strong.

I wonder what Dicky thinks.

[Andyk]

Its a lovely QP that is not in doubt...Although I am not a great fan of the Chesterfield type work on the chairs......But as said far too much money. You can grab a 4.2 GT for that money and some 4.7 QP's are starting to get here as well....

 

[npaskin]

You have to wonder what that much-vaunted internet connection technology (circa 2007) will be like to use now, given their triumphant efforts on Sat Nav to date....…think I'd prefer to stick with a current tablet in the back when needed. Seats aren't to my taste either (quilted Bentley style). I don't think any of the current Maserati “handbag editions†are going to be worth the premium either :

Do they need to do this stuff, really?

 

[highlander]

not a big fan of the interior "stuffiness" tbh..........

May just have a pop down to Lawton Brooke to look at the red one!

 

[Andyk]

Do love that red colour.......

Agree on those limited cars.....Don't think are will be worth more either.....

Your wish etc etc..........

It's now March and the price has dropped by £7k. Please buy it so that I don't keep looking at it.

That is nice Phil, but it won't fit in the garage! They are huge, I couldn't get out of the door at my old house; massive car.

That is nice Phil, but it won't fit in the garage! They are huge...massive car.

Or, not quite big enough. Which is why the new QP is bigger.
