"Bargain" QP - is it known to anyone

[rs48635]

Black QP on the bay item 172648479164 hhhhh
condition looks okay, and has lots of stamps, anyone know it. Seems cheap car for an aspiring gangsta

Now that does look good value...under 10k for a QP...yes it's an early car with 80k up but will probably be all the better for it. The badges can easily go back to silver if you want but I like the black window surround.......

 

[rockits]

Yup agreed. Nice car & price too. It is the right price though as I paid just under 7k more for a 57/2007 60k miler Exec GT. You wouldn't want to be paying more but cracking value.

 

[Andyk]

Was thinking the miles has hit the price and it. Being a 2004 but still under 10k for any Maserati seems too cheap.

Ummm...may show this to Liz and see if I can persuade her it's a good idea......

Just don't take it to Ireland - Black & Tan colour scheme might not go over too well there.

Needs a service though and add in a couple of tyres, a little paint etc and you could easily see a £3k bills. More with a clutch and/or brakes. I still think holding fire for a £13-15k forum car with a the required care taken is wiser in the long run.

Still, after a decade?

2007, didn't realise it was that recent

Still think it looks good value, although I wish all QP prices started about 15k so I could sell mine!
the price seems fair and the condition decent, all of these cars need annual tyres if driven. At some point they need a clutch too, but my own "needed a clutch" when I git it November 2014. Still seems to go okay to me, but surely will go bang at some point.
FYI McGrath went over my car while doing F1 pump. Full side of A4 listing jobs to "bring it up to standard". Still drives, stops and handles well. If I wanted a nearly new car in perfect condition I would buy one. Mine is 11 years old the one for sale is 13 years old. 5 year old hot hatch or a quality super-saloon?

 

[Andyk]

Agree Rob....if it needs a service that doesn't have t break the bank with the specialists about these days...yes a clutch may be 2k and that if t needs it....

I was thinking 1920s. What was the 2007 thing?

That'll go over a few heads.

I don't think those wheels suit the QP at all

I quite like them.

The owner can't say when the clutch was changed but at the 75k service it was 42% worn so 7k ago.
