Talked about this one on another thread a week or so ago....Mileage was low as I think someone phones them about it. It's the owners car I believe.

Very tricky to value and how much depreciation would you suffer over a couple of years?

Great colour combo though and love the wheels.

 

[urbanmaser]

nice to have the last of a model

 

[dem maser]

it still must be 2007 though, didnt they stop making it in 2007? so the car must have been unregistered for 2 years, is that a good thing? its better to buy a 2007 thats been used everyday

Correct Dem...Must have been unregistered so sat around for 2 years somewhere.

Wonder why they had to replace the wheels under warranty? Need to know mileage though!

It the car was sat around for 2 years the wheels could have corroded..The GS wheels don't tent to weather well as I understand it. Do a search and I'm sure the mileage was mentioned an another thread...

it is sure a stunning car but price is steep, you could get a spyder for about 3K less or get something like this for a lot less money and in stunning condition

Gansport one is much newer so you could expect the higher price and it is still under manufacturers warranty

 

[Andyk]

Personaly I don't think it's worth it....Better off buying an MC Victory than a standard GS at that money..09 or not.

As mentioned a while back , on the other side, I was led to believe, from the main dealer in the new forest area , that last Gransport built was in sept 2007,and was sold by them to a customer in Dorset , I saw this car in their showroom and it was yellow.

 

[GransportFan1]

Dont start me and Andy with the Yellow, Andy will cry and i just want a GS in yellow so bad.

... it is still under manufacturers warranty

For anyone still interested (less than 3 years since first reg) Maserati have repriced their warranty extensions. So instead of an outlandish £2,400 per year you can now extend for as little (!) as £1,100 per year.

 

[urbanmaser]

Barbuckle if they have just changed this Im really angry. I had my last warranty service in March and declined the extra warranty at £2,200 per annum.........at a £1000 I would have reconsidered

 

[barbuckle]

Well this was discussed last week with dealer - I had suggested they could "make a contribution" to a two year extension in light of the new gearbox being fitted. The story was - not really, but "Maserati have just repriced their warranties".
So I am told by official sources that this has happened. Perhaps too few were sold at the original price mark - I am arranging a 2 year extension at this new rate.
You have to apply within 30 days after the 3 year mark - if you just missed this I would re-approach.

(by the way the original pricing I was told was £2400 for 12 months or £3600 for 24 months)

 

[Andyk]

Bloody **** thats **** of a drop. The average cost of a warrenty claim must be aoround £1500 so it sounds like a good price.

 

[barbuckle]

I am wondering if this suggests that the cars are getting "more reliable"?
E.g. lots of automatic models now and fewer early cambio corsa models - hence warranty price reflects current maintenance risk?

 

[lozcb]

Think the timing is crucial and deliberate on Maserati's part , most Gs now out of the 3yr limit , i reckon its really aimed at the early GT Turismo and later

Thats what they quoted me........I can only pray that I won't need the warranty. I have done total of 11,000 miles and am really doing no more than 2 or 3,000 per annum
