Must admit that is a slight worryThe cars with Alcantara I have seen advertised that are 2008-2010 cars look knackered and worn out especially the steering wheels. Must be hard to maintain Alcantara.

Gliterati have you seen the new Black 2008 car with Nuvola? May be the one for you, has an Alcantara interior with rosso stitching

You are absolutely correct, alcantara steering wheels deteriorate so fast. Hard to get them back. People tell you about different products how to do it, none of them are effective. I just replaced one with a brand new wheel as the old one felt so skanky. It became something I just didn't want to touch.
Oh just found this on Pistonheads:

About the MC Sportline?
Mass confusion all round.
I would probably get it and swap the steering wheel out for a carbon one.

Saw this today, looks great value, superb guys to deal with too. Piers who looks after the Maserati side of things at Carrs is the man to speak to.
My mate at work rang up to enquire when I told him about it. The min he was put through the hard sale pitch started "oh yes that car came in today, Im talking to someone about it right now, it will be gone by 5pm, Its a lovely car we know it we sold it we serviced it"
Urm OK so can I ask about thr car or is it sold?
"Oh not yet but it will go today we have another 2 people coming to see it"
OK can you tell me the clutch life remaining please?
"Give me your number will call you in 15 mins"
No one called him back.. All a bit weird for a main dealer!!
Someone else obviously sounded more interested.
At the end of the day with used cars when they have gone they have gone so if you are keen as a buyer you have to make that clear. If you say you will take a car subject to the clutch % being less than x% then that will get you a better response than just asking what the clutch % is. Of course it could be the opposite and the salesman is distracted but whenever I have wanted a used car I accept that I need to make it happen.
