Always loved the colour ...... First time I saw Ian's (Blox) Sport GT in the same colour at Llandow I feel in love with it.

Same owner for 11years and a Sport GT.....All for 10k WOW.

Looks great to me shame it has 60,000 on it when I would be looking for a lot lower - my time of life I suppose

Very nice.....these cars are becoming buttons now. Looks well looked after though. Shame it is later plate and later car tax cost.

Wow, they look so good in that colour..

The price of a scruffy Mk2 ford escort!

Agreed. Enquired about a TVR T350C which was £30k. It turns out no service history before current owner. It was only on 15k miles but last service at 13k miles in 2013!

When you can have a nice QP for 10k! Such variance in perception and value.

Subject to no nasties that seems a terrific buy!
£10k, run it enjoy it and you’ll probably be able to sell it down the line for very little less!
Worth a look I would have thought.

I called the owner, it sounds a peach. Looked after by bill mcgrath, last service 7k miles ago with clutch at 37%. I’m very tempted as a daily driver however I’m sure it’s worth the argument with the missus and also she wouldn’t drive it which limits us.

From what I learned, it’s a genuine car and could well be an ideal buy for someone.

Why are the QP V so cheap? Are they plagued by reliability issues? What would put people off to the point of justifying such a low asking price??
There are quite a few QP V below 12-13k on AT... are they expensive to own? (My GT auto was very affordable to run)

They are not cheap if you gauge them against other large saloons, the most unloved sector of the used car market. That’s all, it’s not a Maserati thing.

Its probably a fair point. We are looking at those as Maseratis but if you look at them as expensive to buy, big petrol V8 Saloons from 2006ish era then they are more expensive then equivalent BMW 750i or Merc S500...

Probably but neither the BMW or Mercedes get close in the looks department, the QP V is in a different league in fact IMO it always has been

No more expensive than any other newish Maserati. My 4.7 has only cost me servicing every 2 years, tyres and a new rear shelf due to heat. Other than that no Christmas trees and 24mpg on a run at 80. Oh that's done it!

All DS QP's are annual as per similar vintage 4200/GS. QP's from 2007 on with ZF Auto box they went 12.5k or two years intervals I understood.
