Friend of mine had a TT on order when the Mark 1 came out. The day before he was due to collect it, he got a call from the dealer to say that it had been nicked! Someone had waltzed into the dealers, stolen the keys from the box and driven it away.

Gone In 60 Seconds?

Haggle. And be prepared to walk.

The dealer will always say to you "my colleague has another person interested in it as well. But I want to sell it to you"

Play the waiting game. Show you are interested but only at the right price.

It takes time to sell a high price car like the Maserati.

Put it this way. They will do everything to extract the maximum they can from you as that is how they make money. It is not in their interests to give you a deal. You just need to keep bargaining to find the best balance point between the two of you.
