This Quattroporte seems to have been for sale for ages, but the price looks ok at £14k.

Obviously the 'full service history' needs checking out, plus an inspection, but mileage is low and condition seems fine (although grille badge looks broken).

Is there anything glaringly obvious about this car that I'm missing?

Looks nice...but.

If it was to need a new clutch and brakes add another £4/5000 to that.

would not go to look at it....if they are taking pictures with the grill badge the way it is then it is not mint....id negotiate a price over the hpone and then itll be subject to viewing and it checking out

As you say its been for sale for ages...Probably longer than most on PH/Autotrader...Not sure why as its well priced and the miles aren't sky high......

That's what I was thinking...definitely a case of buyer beware.

I almost had dealings with the company 3 or 4 years ago, but wouldn't waste my time again.

If the timing had been better I would have looked at this one, but I can't for a little while:

It is a nice QP. I've never fancied a green car, but think I could be persuaded. Lovely interior too.

Aw well....I'll keep looking....

Nope, it's green and green cars should not exist.......is green even a colour choice nowadays.....except for Lamborghini frog green which could just about pull it off..........just!

For £1500 more than the one at 14k you are about off looking at this one I would say.....bit of money off and it could be closer to 14500 maybe...

I like the green one. Still have an opportunity on a cat d one for less than 10k. Tempting.

Different one. Its aquamarine which is unusual but low miles, like 28k or so. If it was black, blue or silver I'd have bought it already.

Someone I know. It had a light front bumper which is fixed but the colour match is not right so it needs a £1000 proper repaint of the nose and nearside wing. I think I can get it for 9.5k which seems OK. Two minds!!!!
