You mean this one?

It's certainly the cheapest one I've seen and probably cheaper than some Gransports. It look to be original and relatively unmolested. 68k miles might put some people of but the engines are strong.

There must be a good reason how that car has ended up where it has and offered for sale.
I guess its down to you as a buyer to do your homework, do some digging and have it inspected by a Maserati specialist to find out why its for sale where it is and not at a marque specialist.
In the Porsche circle it is often said that 'a good Porsche' and 'cheap' are mutually exclusive.
Perhaps this may be true for Maserati ? Or should that be 'especially a Maserati'?
Caveat emptor and all that springs to mind...

The reasons why I think it's cheap are that it's an early model, GS were still around, it's a 4.2 not a later 4.7, burgundy leather is an acquired taste and probably because it's done 68k miles. I can see why you are tempted.
Caveat emptor as cheshiremaserati says but you can always pop in and have a look at it, including the paperwork etc, if it's missing services and the MOT history doesn't look good then you'll have your answer.
You never know it could be a good'un.

Points well made. But unlike GS, there are many GT cars for sale and therefore you have a reasonably abundant choice of cars for sale. Mileage is a sensitive point and if you do 10k in your ownership and want to move it on, it may be an issue. The burgundy leather may also pose challenge as its a narrower choice than crema or black in a fairly abundant pool of cars that may mean buyers skipping burgundy interior.
I think a PPI through a Maserati specialist will be a very sensible step prior to deciding if this is the car you want to buy.
Good luck. It may turn out to be 'a good 'un' .
