It's not on Hairpin's stock list so long gone I'd guess.
There is a 30k mile 60 plate car up for £25k at a dealer close by, looks pretty good.

Yes, I looked and couldn't see it....

Is that the Grigo Granito one with brown leather. They have had it for ages....Wnated 28k for it at the start. I think someone off her went to look at it when they had it for sale before. This is the 2nd time they have sold it.

Yes I agree with everyone that they are incredible machines...however, the market is completely screwed up right now, with very few QP's actually been sold over the last 6 months. Despite my black 2009 QP 4.7 S ( Autotrader/ Pistonheads) being one of the best on the market (according to Shiltech's assessment) in terms of condition and its rock bottom price, I still cant find a buyer. Its looks as though prices on QP's have more or less collapsed. Whether they recover is very debatable with the ongoing political uncertainty but I am not convinced that they will now.
I have been doing an awful lot of shopping around to test the market but what I have been offered would make a grown man/women cry. It's rediculous given that the QP is such a great car. Anyway onwards and upwards!

I cant believe it’s still for sale. Strange market as you say where thousands of people will pay a £2k deposit and £400/month for 3 years which is over £16k, for a humdrum modern box, but not buy something like this which will still be a Maserati on your drive 3 years later?

Worlds gone mad I tell you!

That's the one. I like the combination but I can see why it probably isn't the most popular.

I think it's a great combo – carbon fibre trim on a car weighing two tons seems a little odd, and I prefer that.
Alas I don't have £25k, otherwise I'd already have it.

What a fantastic review - if I needed four doors, I would definitely look to buy one of these. A timeless design just like the Granturismo. This era of Maserati when they launched the GT & QPV will be looked back with great admiration in the future I'm sure, we've been spoilt really as it's not often manufacturers are producing two great models simultaneously

As much as it pains me to say it I prefer the look of a Ghibli with 21" rims on it. Each to their own.

The 6 did look better with the mid-life refresh, a little sharper.
Sadly very few were made with the V8. Ho hum. I'd still rather a facelift V; naturally aspirated goodness.

seriously Phil! I suspect you are in a very small minority on that one! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course so there is no right or wrong (usually.....) ;-)

Still a sharp affair pre facelift too for the Quattroporte 6 GTS. I think there are more v8 QP6 ones in the LHD market as you can still order new. In my opinion these are the two maserati icon's. The mc stradale and qp6 gts.
