It's been for sale for about two years on and off. It certainly doesn't contravene forum rules. That's why we're here. I know nothing about it but someone will be along soon who does.

Dicky's right..been up for sale for at least two years and at the same Suzuki dealer.......worth a look but get it inspected....Miura, I would speak to Dicky above as he is a well respected seller of Maserati on here and worth a call.............

It surprises me that a non Maserati Main Dealer such as these guys have not moved this to the auctions or specialist such as Dicky or ADG for disposal. I thought Main dealers would move on older plate cars when they have been in stock for 90 or 120 days.

Each of the last 3 times it has appeared for sale the mileage has gone up, so I would think that they're either selling it/reselling it, or more likely it belongs to someone connected with the garage. Normally seems to stick around for a while each time, but I don't know why.

If you do a search on here, I seem to recall that it was being used by the dealer principal or someone as Nige has suggested. There's far better value cars around IMHO.

Seems a cheeky price. I certainly paid less for mine and that had 36k FMSH less than a year ago.

I was in the finance side of the motor trade a long time back and the sales guys lived and died by Stand In Value (SIV) and associated 60 day limit on reselling. That may have all changed, but this would have cost a salesman a lot in commission and possibly his job if it were hanging around this long.

Guessing the dealer principal enjoys this as a little something for the weekend.

isn't this better value?

or is it just eye of the beholder stuff?

Anyway, looks like you wouldn't have to do any detailing.

That one has the really bright blue interior, could be changed as it's not to many people's taste. It's the same as the silver one which was at Hamilton's of Bristol for a while. I once saw a car with that interior at Mangoletsi, I went to see it as they'd no interior photos on the advert, when I got there, I said thanks, I'll leave it and came straight back home. It was about three years ago when they were really trying to be a Maserati dealership, they don't bother any longer.

That will add to the 'patchy' history it already had...OK my advisor said not to worry too much as long as the major ones were done; but given no HID, Poor history...getting worse, love/hate trim, silver, poor paint repairs to front splitter [last year] and the rear grill's painted in silver too...so back to looking then.

Interesting - ad offers a 2 year corrosion guarantee. (If that car has paint bubble blisters under the rear tail lights, cost them heaps to fix properly)

Factory only offers 3 from new
