    Help, looking at a 3200

    Sorry Dave, you are quite right, as I don't drink, smoke or do anything remotely fun I am more than happy to spend money maintaining a lovely car!

    Good question, forced induction all the way, and I am swaying towards the 3200 even though it is considered more unreliable

    Hey all, my hunt continues, the first 4200 was not great and I think if I am going to get 4200 then I should go for a cc. so, I am currently torn between two cars, a 3200 which has 65000miles on the clock but not had the chains done, few stone chips etc but in lovely condition and colour...

    That is very interesting, I am a little concerned, that will explain the need for a new battery. Thank you for the info.

    Spoke to Mathew from Giallo and he was incredibly helpful. The cars most recent history was carried out by them. This included Clutch, 2010 (6000miles ago) and service, 2012 (2000miles ago). £12,000 for a revised manual is a fantastic price... what could possibly go wrong! haha.

    The 4200 is probably the car I am going towards and I love a manual box. It has been looked after by Giallo and the clutch is fresh. Going to see it Sunday, it is an incredible price. I don't understand how a car like this can be so inexpensive to buy, what else can you get for £12,000 with a...

    Hello Everyone, Sorry I haven't been on for a while but work has been very busy! I am still yet to see the 3200 in question but have got a guy who will inspect it, Mike from the Maserati Shed. There is another car on my radar, its a 4200 Manual. It is up at 13K from a company called George...

    So the dealer has confirmed the chains were not replaced well they serviced the car. I have seen somewhere on here someone posted that the big 68K service is around £1600, am I right in thinking that? My plan is to view the car tomorrow if I am happy with it and the price then I will get an...

    I think I will go and have a look at the car tomorrow or Tuesday, if I like it I think it will be inspection time. Any other thoughts most welcome. Normally I am quite impulsive but I don't want to miss anything with a car which can have pretty big bills if not careful. Many Thanks, Sam

    Still not had a chance to go and see the car. The guy I am dealing with seems very nice, by the way if anyone knows of anyone interested in a very good Alfa GTV Cup Edition from 2001 let me know. I want an Maser!

    This is great thank you for finding that for me. I think that and an inspection should do the trick!

    Help, looking at a 3200

    Morning Folks, Thank you very much for all of your input. Mileage on a car never bothers me as long as it has been looked after properly. The one thing that rang bells with this car is the big 68k service, which MAF kindly pointed out. Ironic the wheels it has are desirable and I wasn't a fan...
