That's a lovely looking GS, John. Looks very much like Robin's (Team GCR) GranSport coupe. I'd also say that's an excellent price for a 2006 LE with that mileage. If an inspection shows all is well you should jump at it.
As MAF says that is very much like my Coupé.
Mine has a black dash top and the light colour will reflect in the windscreen so you may want to consider having that recovered if you were to buy the car.
Below is the email I sent him, if Dicky says its been on sale since October why has it not sold, either there's a problem or he's not taking offers and not bothered about selling.
I would like to come down and view the car although I’m going on holiday Friday but could come down any time in the day light this Thursday.
Because it’s a round trip of about 6 hours for me then there are a number of questions I would appreciate you answering so as I’m not disappointed and don’t waste both our times.
1. Why are you selling.
2. How long have you owned and where did you purchase from.
3. How many owners on the V5.
4. How many stamps in the service book and has the vehicle got a complete Maserati Service History.
5. Could you list the Date, Miles and who carried out the services and do you have documentation/receipts/invoices to confirm this.
6. When was the Clutch last changed date/miles, and has the percentage of ware been measured recently ( this is very important as a new clutch is £2k).
7. Any accident damage you know of.
8. Any Advisories on the last MOT.
9. Does the car have the following extras, Electric memory front seats, Sat Nav, Bluetooth or GSM phone, Auditorium 200 hi fi.
Many thanks for your help and I promise you that if I do like your car I am a genuine guy who will not mess you around.
It might be worth actually calling him. For example you have asked if it has a Full Maserati History, he might have assumed that if it doesn't it isn't worth replying as you will not be interested, whereas I presume you would be if it had a Full Maserati and/or Specialist History?
Any accident damage? As above it might have had a minor knock that has been properly repaired, would that stop you buying it? He may think so.
Any advisories on the last MOT? Only really relevant if they have not been rectified which would be shown in the service history presumably.
If it helps I can tell by looking at the pictures that it does have an electric memory drivers seat, you can see the Auditorium badges on the doors above the speakers anti has headlamp washers so will have Xenon lights.
I f I
was the seller I would be happy to discuss the car and your questions on the phone but some of the questions and their wording might make me wonder if it was worth my while responding to that email.
