3200 Auto For sale

[philw696]

OK guys my brother Simon up in Cheshire has a 2000 3200 which he has had for 18 months as a daily driver.
He has been offered £7500 against a Audi Q5.
The car is well known by Autoshield.
Don't know if it may be of interest to anyone lurking on here.
Phil.

That's a shame and such a low offer but not surprised as they won't want to sell it on really. It's a way of saying we don't want your car!

 

[philw696]

It is a shame and I know he has spent a considerable amount on it so could be worthwhile for someone wanting boomerang's.
Would be a shame to see it go into the trade.
Has to be a bargain for a non cat car.
Phil.

 

[highlander]

think you should buy it phil and sell that useless 4200

 

[Parisien]

Regardless of how well maintained, once past a certain year/mileage........anyone can get caught for £2/3/4K to put right at any time.....so they take the most defensive position they can!

[Contigo]

To be fair what is a main dealer going to do with a 3200? Best bet is to give it Dicky at that price and at least it will be sold by someone with a passion for the cars.

 

[Andyk]

Phil, have you got more details..What miles etc is on her...And has she been serviced in his ownership.....Colour spec etc.....Cheers mate.

 

[philw696]

Morning all.
Andy she is dark blue with blue leather.
Prior to my brother buying her she was looked after by Shiltech and since by Marios who would be best to talk to as he could put anyone in the picture.
Any serious interest pm me and I will pass you on to my brother.

 

[philw696]

OK guys she needs to move on the dealer doesn't want to take it.
Me personally would tell him where to stick his Audi but my brother is nicer than me.
I can tell you he has spent a considerable amount on this car and Mario's will verify.
For a Sports Maserati enthusiast this 3200 could be a bargain.
Phil.

 

[Andyk]

Phil, if my M3 was sold I may have been interested as it's just about to go up for sale........the only niggle for me is that it would br my every day car and they are getting on now and may nor be reliable enough....has it got many miles on her Phil..

 

[philw696]

Andy you would get it looking A1 with your attention to detail and love of keeping a car concourse.
I think its done 70 k but I know Marios has had the engine out and my brother has done 10 k in her as a daily driver.
He has to move it soon due to family pressure so I would hate that he gives it away to someone other than one of us so someone needs to act soon.

So, we have a dark blue 3200 with good service history, looked after/over by a respected specialist, and 70k miles. All for approximately £7.5k? Surely too good to be true. Have I miss read?!

agree. surprised no-one has taken a look at this, seems a good punt.....some pics might help anyone in two minds though...

 

[Contigo]

It is worth more for sure but it's not even advertised other than on here. Get a For Sale thread going with some pics and you might drum up some interest. I may even buy it cash for a sell on if it's a good un!

 

[Andyk]

Agree some pictures may help...Is it worth getting your Brother to come on here Phil.....He may get himself a quick sale if he posts up some information...

 

[philw696]

Crazy thing is he works in I.T have contacted him to do so otherwise I'm sure it will end up in the wrong hands and that will be another Maserati gone.

If someone can offer me £8k, it's theirs. Happy to take questions.

[Andyk]

She looks lovely for the money........IF my car was sold I would be around for a look but looks like its going to be a few weeks before I'm sorted......Surely someone would be interested in this car at that money......

 

[zagatoes30]

This is exactly the car I was looking for before I decided to follow my head and buy a 4200.

We so often complain about low value uncared for cars and here is a well cared for car for a really good price, someone must want to pick this up.

 

[mchristyuk]

Hi Simon,

I'm certainly interested. Been out of the Maserati fold for about 18months now and been looking for the right car to get back "in the saddle".

I will drop you a PM to discuss more.

Cheers

Mark
