The clutch is more than 50% worn and knowing these cars and the way they are driven we feel its wise to replace so the new owner will have no issues (as long as they drive it appropriately)
The previous owner was hoping it would drive as his previous Mercedes, ie Start, engage drive and go! As we all know this gearbox takes a bit more work, but it is worth it
Obviously it add as a massive plus point with eh resale as well.............
Just to clarify what has been said the warranty is with Warrantywise as we all know Maserati wont extend the warranty on these cars

Unfortunately a lot of people do come into our showroom stating that they want the full MC Shift gearbox in the GT. Usually someone has told them its the best one to have!
As we know it takes a lot of work and effort to get the best from this version. Most people prefer the MC Auto after trying both versions.
it is not a case of Start, engage drive and nail it.
We do try and ensure customers get what will really suit their driving style and what they really need the car to do. And not what their mate has said is the best version.
This was the case with this car, it just didnt suit what the customer wanted and needed

I refer you to my previous offer, Gary. Which is substantially better than Andy's offer, if less interesting on YouTube. Go on... you know it makes sense. I might even chuck in a pushbike. 
What about that clutch - was it worn out or in some way defective?

Gary, doesn't seem like the previous owner did much research on the model...I know we are all different but how could you not be moved by the noise once you have engaged the sport button....Just pure pleasure..Either way you get a lovely Stradale in the show room.....Sure she will sell.......
OH and promise I will not run around you show room with my finger up my bottom......

Had the previous owner never heard of test driving a car? It would have been obvious how different the MC Shift gearbox was!
It's amazing how many people buy a car without a test drive. Quite possibly someone wanted a GranTurismo because it looked nice (great so far) and then had to have the top of the range. That's why when anyone asks for advice on buying a GranTurismo I always say they need to drive both gearboxes to see which suits them best as one is clearly not better than the other on a universal basis.

Now should I buy it, or maybe not, or should I, well possibly not, but it would be nice, expensive though, but it will appreciate maybe, that's right it might, or it could cost money, well all cars do, so should I buy it, well you could, or maybe wait, then it might be sold and you lose it, yes that's right I should jump in now, but I have some bills coming up, well don't we all, get it bought....INDECISIONS...INDECISIONS...!!!

Man maths at its finest, coupled with the ramblings of a blithering idiot it really does make perfect sense!

A glimpse of the inner workings of Rob's mind is a scary thing. But the man is without peer as a wise and learned sage should one's man-maths ever weaken.
