    My M139 has been sitting dead since November - Anyone interested? Reg R100 JPA (2005) - 51000 miles, beige leather, GT wheels, etc...Clutch issues.

    Aww too late to the party, I would have definitely taken this on but I am curious to know how much spend will be needed to get it running again. It's a real beauty with that colour combination in that condition!

    QPV UK ZF Gearbox only

    So this lost a third of its value in a year and 2.5k miles? :oops: I guess it hasn't got much further to go! Yet here I am still lurking considering one of these against all common sense...

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    I'm struggling to see the value in this one given the mileage and condition when there are others available with far lower miles for not much more and even these seem to take a while to shift. I think £7 - 8k max.

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    I'm still tempted. Makes no sense whatsoever, bu Thanks. Alas I'm not going to have time to arrange a professional inspection but the auction house say I'm welcome to have a look myself prior to bidding. Do you think it's at all feasible to assess the state of the subframe etc as a total lay...

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    I'm actually going to be in Kings Lynn this weekend.... is it a sign? Perhaps. It might be madness as I certainly don't have deep pockets but I'm drawn to the style and presence of these and at sub £10k they seem unbeatable value. What are the chances of it costing me the same again in the...

    Thanks for the feedback! I actually prefer the cleaner look of the early cars the but I thought in terms of reliability and resale value a slightly later 4.7 might be a better option - perhaps I’m wrong. I’m not a speed demon, I’m just attracted to the ‘feel good factor’ so maybe I should be...

    £1k every other year is palatable (I expected worse) - and in the meantime I can try to keep on top of small jobs myself (although I'm not pretending that I'm capable of much more than an oil change...)

    Hi Wanderer, thanks for the swift reply! My mistake - by GTS I meant Granturismo S, not the 4 door. I'm a life long manual fan - will I prefer the extra interaction of the MC over the auto? I mean to me without a third pedal they will both feel like autos, so my preference would be for the...

    Newbie from Caterham

    Hello all and greetings from Caterham, Surrey. I am contemplating a used GTS (4.7 Auto, 2009-11) as it seems to be an incredible machine for the money on the current market (~£25-30k). However I am not at all wealthy and need to go in with my eyes fully open with regards to servicing and...
