Are you interested Andy, or just being nosy? That surprises me that they're sellling a car THREE YEARS overdue a service.

It is so sad though that a stunning car like that has covered 5k miles in 3.5 - 4 years. I really hope an enthusiast buys it and signs up to the forum, i would love to see that car.


edit; the gallery pics are superb.

Meridien do drop their prices but they tend to stick at the initial price for longer than most IMHO. Harry Metcalfe's GT was a good example as it took two price drops to shift it and nine months. They must have a good working capital facility and buy cheap. They also tend to ask a couple of £k more than most dealers I feel.

Being nosey......Becaus eof the low miles it hasn't been serviced annual.....OK that may be fine with 5k on the clock but when you buy here and put 30k on her when time comes to sell it will be hard to say why she hasn't got full history.......If you buy her she needs to be a keeper at that money...

It's much more common than you would think that low mileage exotica have missed services.

The thing is if it has hardly moved since it was serviced in 2009 then it is probably ok if all fluids are changed now. The thing is do you really want the word 'probably' to be used when buying at that price point. Personally I would have thought that you could not put a used Maserati warranty on that car but what do I know (?).

Having bought from Meridien once and tried to buy from them again, I would expect them to discount the car zippo for the missed service history. They know that someone will come along and not even look at the service book. All credit to them, they know their market.
