Those of us who have been actively looking for a while would have noticed a slight increase in the the prices of both 4200's and GS's.
However, the really good cars are commanding a lot more money.
Bit like Parkers used to have their guides as:
Trade
Average
Good
Excellent
I would say the following is about right:
Trade - No change
Average - +5%
Good - +10%
Excellent - + 20/30%
Just an observation, winter prices are lower than the spring ones...I would hasten to guess Robins car would be worth 10% more if it came on the market this May on a sunny day.
m1980k; said:Ultimately, there's one man around here who could answer this definitively, but I totally understand why he's not going to do that on a public forum!
If it's suggested that's me, not sure, I'd say what I always say. Gransport prices have remained the same for 8 years. In Jan 2008 I bought a 2006 LE with 18000 miles for £35000, if I still had the car today it would be worth about the same.
This guy can ask what he wants but Nuvola (a dealer) have a similar car for less money so let's see how he gets on.
And prices are going up are they?

I'm not talking prices down, just waiting to see evidence that comparable cars from comparable sources are actually selling for more than they were a year or two ago.
Jesus I only said tis advert wasn't the best now look what I've started ;-)
Indeed, someone will start talking about shoes next
And 3200 prices? 8 year ago I bet they were higher than now but dropped to a low about 3-4 years ago (bottom of market value) then are on an upward curve?

I apologise everyone for 'kicking' this off again
I think the thing that will always hold back Maserati values is.. Maserati.. until they get their act together and decide that their legacy is worth looking after.
Parts for the entire 3200/4200/GS series are getting harder to find and Maserati has no interest in supporting them. Compare that to Ferraris attitude.
It wasn't long ago that we were buying Ferrari Brembo brakes because they were cheaper than Maserati Brembo brakes!
Old Ferraris may be expensive to buy and run, but at least you can run them and get parts for them.
I'm starting to tentatively look around at my next car on from the 3200 and have been tossing up the pros/cons between a GranSport and a Granturismo.. and at the moment the Granturismo is winning hands down because I know I'll be able to fix it when it breaks! (and I know it will break...)... at least for the next 10 years.. then Maserati will probably consign that one to the scrap heap of unsupported cars.. .if Maserati still exist by then of course!
For us much as we love our Maserati's I think there's a very good reason the values haven't sky-rocketed like other classic cars...
