Phil,
Do you think its the gaps in service history,
unless I am reading wrong cant see a service for 15/16 and the other thing is when you read the cost of all the work it makes your eyes water.

Just my thoughts,
Dave

No it's done 400 miles between last service or not much more.

I would love to have 2 silver 3200's but that doesn't make sense to even my deranged head.

Looks like the best one that' been for sale outside of a dealer for some time.

Part of me wants to buy another 2 and "lay them down" like a fine wine!

I'll never be without one hence why I'm trying to work on a project 3200 trade in :D Happy days if it comes off this afternoon.

it's made my eyes water, the total for the 30,000 miles with HR Owen is almost £1 a mile

The thing is Greg the drive shows it and I really do mean it. I have never driven one as good as this and I've decided now it's a keeper.

Still for sale. Bargain at £15k for a lovely example with 1 previous owner and low miles. Amazed it's still sat in my garage.

If it was a manual we would be having a conversation. Think I'm in a minority in that I like to buy a car privately and meet the owner, but suspect most Maserati buyers want comfort of dealer warranty etc. Have you considered giving the car to a specialist to sell on commission? If alfatwo's valuation is correct the net of commission price should be in line with what you want for a private sale.

I'd buy a 3200 if someone cracked my head open with a spade and replaced my brain with a potato ;p

I haven't given it much thought mate, I did think about auction as that is a real hassle free way of selling a car as long as reserves are set. It's a shame that you don't want an auto as they are really good, very suited to the car and you can make good progress, they are actually easier to drive fast than the manual boxes imo. I'd not let it get in the way of losing out on a good car.

Ok need the space in my old mans garage back so for the month of May only £13.5k takes the car (I know I will regret it if it sells).
