A story I have shared many times but i went to test drive the car when Dick Lovett Maserati had it many, many years ago...Around 2009/2010 I think......We just couldn't do a PX deal on my M3 CSL and it sold not long after.......Then Mark bought it years later.......By rights I think it should be mine ;) Took is picture on the day to remind me what could have been.81721

Crazy that now the BMW M3 CSL is worth more than double now.

Yep, mine sold for 27k and I would say they are around 55k now. I paid 26k for her. Should have realised that if I sold for a k more it was going the right way. To be honest if I hadn't sold her I would still have her Phil.

Well... As long as you're confident that you did in fact put them on... Means you have abundant decorum relative to those of us who forget to do so... Or forget to remove them in the first place.

Not sure if this is reflected in the UK market, but the rapid price appreciation of used cars in general, and sports and classics specifically (did someone say 'bubble'?), finally seems to be washing over the Maserati GS.... After a mystifyingly long wait.

There were 10 GS advertised on carsales 4 months ago.... Now there are 3. And prices have definitely gone north. I'm sure they've not all sold, but without doubt some here have moved and at far better prices than 12 months ago.

In the Uk, Gransport prices don't seem to have moved, despite the wider used car market moving upwards....comparable cars such as early 997 and Vantage have probably gone up 15%. The Gransports look amazing value, but have quite a small following and aren't easy to sell. I sold mine last summer and there are others that were for sale at the same time that are still for sale.

Due to such small numbers (9 on autotrader) even one dog represents 10+% of the available market, and that drags prices down as buyers think why pay £5k more???... little realising that £5k is small beer on these cars despite it being c20% of a good cars worth.

Criminally underpriced cars. The problem is that the majority of the ones for sale will be rough cars. A good one (like @Mooster owns) is worth way more, but bargain hunters don’t like to be told to not buy a ‘cheap’ one. Therefore the market is continually dragged down by the dross, which inevitably doesn’t sell and just drags down the price of the good ones over the long term as they sit unsold for so long.

I guess the trick for the GranTurismo is whether it avoids this outcome the older it gets.
