Sadly it has to go.

Things has gone from bad to worse for myself and I need to save my marriage.

Please let me get straight to the point: I spoke to 2 traders on the phone to see what they will offer. £8,500 and £8,600 with the private plate HIG 3200. They may offer more if I took it to them to view (yeah right). WeBuyAnyCar online offered £7,863 without the private plate. Plate is worth a tidy sum and I only recently acquired it at great expense. If I had known my marriage was going to become a serious problem I could have saved a lot of money.

This is a well known car within the UK Maserati forums. Garaged. Many members have seen it and will vouch for it.

DEAL I AM PROPOSING TODAY: I want to make this known to this forum only, so any interested buyer here can save themselves a lot of money. Please spread the word to your friends. One dealer openly said he would re-advertise it for £11,995 and because of the low mileage will include a 3 month warranty. He recommended I advertise privately as I will definitely get more but my heart is broken at the moment and I have no desire to deal with time wasters when advertising on eBay or piston-heads or auto-trader.

I need to sell it now, this week. Otherwise I have no choice but on Monday 13 January I will have to let it go to the highest paying trader, there are a few more I could approach but I doubt I will get much more.

I checked on WhatCar and the part exchange value (without the private plate) is £8,626. Trade value also without plate is £8,286.

Anyone who can offer me £8,626 in real cash (or more would be appreciated) can have it with the private plate and must go by Sunday 12 Jan.

Since owning it I have spent a lot of money and hardly put on any miles so I kindly ask time wasters to avoid approaching me. Please I am in no mood for lots of questions.

Please PM here on the forum if genuinely interested. Or you can email me directly to gavin at USA dot com. I need your contact details and I do advise viewing my car. If you are eager to view or buy it then please text me on 0779 505 4709 and I promise to reply. If you call please leave a very clear voice message. My hearing is not very good.

No finance is on the car. An old varooma hpi may show up if you do a search but this was settled in full and I have an email confirmation or you can check directly with them. On my hpi check it did not show but I want to make you aware of this. The car is 100% owned outright by myself.

For those who do not know me or anything about my car please see below:

Mint Condition Rare Spec Maserati 3200 in Mexico Green with special order ALL Green Leather Interior with Suede Leather interior sides, roof, front and rear dashboards. Very unusual combination and what attracted me to buy after viewing 12 other 3200s!

This is my 3rd 3200, my 1st being owned brand new bought in Switzerland, 2nd being purchased from Merdidian UK under 2 years old and this one is from a musician who was selling his collection of super cars to pay for a music studio he was having built at the time.

Has spare wheel/tire, multi-CD player (satnav is not good as it is old), automatic, stainless steel exhaust adding a nicer sports tone and possibly an additional 30 BHP bringing the 3200 closer to 400 bhp, full service history, 3 keys including the all important red key, stereo key code card. Manuals and service book. Has the rare optional Sports Button (and manual hardness/height adjustment) with Ferrari Actuators. Original Maserati fitted silver clock.

Had a full major service at @41k miles with Stiltech which included belts, new brake discs and pads, knock sensors & oil seals approx £2,300. Also 2,000 miles ago; lambda sensors, air-con repair/service, full oil flush, new radiator thermostat and radiator flush/new fluid.

Tyres are excellent and front alloys slightly kerbed so could do with a little tlc before the summer, driver side door rubber seal may need changing at some point - no issues just a split. Spare wheel, jack and original Maserati tools.

MOT June 24th 2014, no advisories. Tax till 03/2014

Bodywork and interior is mint and paintwork has a very nice shine, no rust.

Always cared for and garage protected by current and previous owners. Current owner is ex-owner of well known UK Maserati Forum, car is genuinely known within the club/forum circle.

(Currently 47k)

Insurance Certificate showing showing a really high valuation and minimum payout is £13,500 valid till end 2014 with Classicline. It seems with the new plate certificate it now worth £26,000.

Last 2 owners same family, passed from husband to wife. 1st owner I understand was a Ferrari/Maserati dealer who supplied it.

My 3200 is located in Loudwater - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire M40 Junction 3.

Please remember my position I am in a bad situation and do not require any time wasters, no test drivers either. This is a genuines Maserati car that has been well looked after and drives faultlessly.

I will include to any member of this forum who buys the car a very rare Original Maserati 3200 cover directly from official Maserati dealer in Zug, Switzerland - this alone is worth UK£350 second hand!

Later today I will upload pictures. Need to fetch it from secure dry storage where it has been last few months...

Thank you very much guys, if only I stopped trying to run my own little business and instead found a proper job. I have got the car and will give it a wash and take the photos...

Probably not, but go for it anyway! If you don't, you may end up regretting it.

Of course you do. You know that too or you wouldn't have asked the question!

Thank you very much again guys.

Someone here has asked about selling the private plate seperately. I am too occupied at the moment in dealing with this. Perhaps someone does not want the plate with the car and then it makes sense two of you can get together?

I just need it sold this week so I can spend time straightening out my life and focus on getting my wife back. I have also put our park home up for sale.

Hi Gavin,

Sorry to hear that things aren't going too well for you at the moment. Keep your chin up and it'll all work out well in the end.

I'm just up the road from you in Beaconsfield - if I can be of any help, let me know.

Cheers

Steve

All the best to you, and the sale of the car. Looks stunning, hopefully will find a good home with someone from here.

Thanks guys, I feel pretty bad in letting it go as I love it. Tonight one of my neighbors said the CEO of a large company called Grant and Stones Ltd has heard about my car and was told to expect to hear from him very soon. He owns several nice cars including Porsche's and he fancies adding a Maserati like mine to his private collection.

I apologise to those who sent me a text message to my iphone but it appeared on my ipad and not on my iphone! I only noticed them when I opened my ipad tonight. Strange.

Latest update: I have 2 or possibly 3 private buyers. So I can expect it to be sold this week. Thank you for your wishes and interests in my car.
