That was me and I also ended up buying a car from Richard.

I’m waiting for Gran Cabrio prices to go into freefall too :p

Was it a Spyder at a Ferrari dealership? Think it had been advertised for a while and it sold following a substantial price drop.
Recall thinking you'd been treated poorly but glad that RG came to the rescue - he's a top man.

Yep that was the one, pale blue Spyder.

Ended up with a 3200GT instead, time will tell if that was a wise move or not :conf:

Just make sure you put Winter tyres on! A friend has an Argento Luna GC but with avorio leather. That Spyder had the Blu Scurro interior I think - a gorgeous colour combination. Whilst searching for the dealership (who was it again?) I stumbled across this beauty:

It was The Ferrari Centre in Maidstone.

Lots of people don’t like the blue interior but I think it’s the best colour. There was a GS for sale on here a while back that had the blue leather and looked fabulous.

I was working as a delivery driver in the late 90s and went to this industrial estate and just parked in the car park was a competition Daytona. Turned out it was DK engineering. Think they’ve moved since then.

That looks nice. If I was braver, I'd daily drive that! So many factors here including Brexit however I don't think Maserati's current brand positioning is doing anything for the older cars now. I'm seeing diesel Ghiblis on 14 and 15 plates now going through the auctions for £16k ish. Your average punter wants a newer car to show of to his neighbours, who have no idea of the difference between models. That's why BMW will de-badge a 318 for you and cover it in M badges. Why but an 8 year old v8 for 30k when you can buy a 4 year old v6 for less than 20? Most people will go for the brand at the lowest price, like a fake handbag.

Only by building fantastic, aspirational cars, will you drive up the value of the "lesser" models and add nostalgia and it's value to the old stuff.

Agree with this, Ghibli is much more on the money than my car as it's a much newer design. In fact the GranTurismo is going down the road of the DB9 which is a three year older design in that it's now beginning to look old. Still very elegant but looking old. CO2, fuel consumption, dashboard/infomatics, acceleration, gearbox are all very last generation at best. I know that many big engined cars are taking a pasting at the moment but there is not much to protect Maserati. Now for the good news...........

Lol I’m starting to get that feeling, I go away Wednesday so if I’ve not seen before then I’ll let it go. Luckily it’s only about 40mins away from my work so no major mission to pop down.

He completely stood me up when I'd travelled up from Plymouth, even after I'd phoned him the night before to check we were still on. He wouldn't answer his phone, texts or emails.

Lol, I’m one step further than you then. Viewed the car yesterday. He has until 12 to respond to my message and or send me the pictures of the underside that he was going to send days ago. 12 o clock and he can keep it.
