This is a saving on list price for a new model....Only 75 miles on her and 10k plus cheaper than new..

Good find.

FWIW my new one cost less than that over a year ago.

I think thats around 98k new with options.so a big saving on a new model thats ony just come out....Haven't even seen them for sale at main dealers yet....

The new Maserati dealer in Newcastle has a blue one in the showroom, it's stunning.The new front seats are a huge improvement, I can't decide if I like the new nose, and hate the new front parking sensors, who the F*** thought they looked ok, the de tango'ed lights are also a big improvement.
It's up for sale at £101,000, the salesman said it will probably become their demo and be reduced to £85/90k

The blue does look lovely..........One of the better colours........................Agree on the parking sensors..a real bad design..Love the rest of it though.

Personally I feel you have to have a big discount for someone else's spec.

I also found that physical cars had higher spec (that I did no want) so were not that cheap net.

Also a used car is a used car. I'd always pay a bit more for new.

Still for sale. Still feel you can do better.

They are just not selling BB........You just have to look at the classifieds to see the same old GT's for sale week in week out................In fact most V8's are sitting around at the moment....Just look at the GS section on PH they are the same cars that have been around for an age.......Its not just Maserati either.....Most big engine cars seem to be sitting unsold......

That's right. Expensive petrol cars are sticking. It's partially the time of year.

I'd have to disagree.A lot of the cars I enquired about sold before I got to the point of doing a deal, the car in Edinburgh that I nearly bought was sold yesterday.There are loads in the classifieds that have been advertised for many weeks, but when you enquire they are sold.One of the first cars I enquired about at Meridian, over 3 weeks ago is still on their website, autotrader and pistonheads, but they don't have it.I'm not sure if it's to make their stock look larger, or so that when you enquire about it and leave your details they can 'find you something else Sir'.Its priced low compared to others and they must get plenty of enquiries for it, so it makes you think their up to something.Maybe Dicky can reveal the tricks of the trade?

Strangely saw two R8s in the space of ten minutes today.

FWIW is a well worn trick for dealers to advertise cars they no longer own for the reasons you say.
