hope you got the car. ( Continental GT?)
Look forward to the puctures
no ned to include "the strip"

Not yet, but hopefully in the next week or so. Continental GT Speed in black with an engine turned interior. Contrast red stitching, Mulliner spec. Black leather headlining, which is a bit heavy in truth, but every other box ticked.
Facelift.
Speed
Rear camera
Not just black on black
Excellent service history
New discs and pads
Good price
Good trade in offered on the Jag

If I'd had the contract already I would have bought it on the spot.

sounds exciting!
Bought my QP on a whim from proper Essex dealer. Place was full of tuned Focus and stuff. They just threw me the keys and said,"we don't know anything about these maserati' but looks like you do". Arrived in my 3200, came back within days to drive off in my second Trident.
All pretty straight forward. In hindsight would have paid for PPI after test drive and before committing. Easier said than done when the sap is rising.

Aye but I've had good experience with warranties :D

Very similar situation as me a few years ago, although I wouldn't have had the Bentley on my list (I'm too young, and not a pro-footballer lol)

Why not an R8 ? - Because in that budget its not the V10, and a Nissan GTR would be a better option for a mental fast 4WD and still has rear seats.

Are rear seats important to you? As all your other option have them? The DB9 rear seats are next to useless as well.

Anyway, my choice was the Masser.
Not so sure I would over look the V8 R8 quickly. I have never drien one but I did own RS4 with the same 4.2 V8 (I covered 65k miles in it from new) and it was the most fantastic engine and I can only imagine as an overall package in the R8 it would be even better
