Hi all
I've been trawling the forum for the last week or so and just introduced myself on the Newbies section.
I'm looking for the cheapest decent 4.2 I can find and I'm considering a tidy looking 2008 car that has only done 27,000 miles and is for sale online.
It has a full service history with 2010, 2012 and 2014 being done by Maserati main dealerships
and 2015 and 2016 being done by a non-specialist independent (BBZ Autos via Servicing Stop http://www.servicingstop.co.uk/)
It's MOT history and mileage checks out against the service history with passes every year.
I'm aware of the potential for the variator issue and the car is a category D after an accident 2-3 years ago but neither of these things bother me so long as I get it for the right price (£25k is being asked) and it passes muster during a proper inspection - I'm planning to get these folk onto it later this week http://www.carinspections.co.uk/
The level of expertise on here is awesome, so I'm wondering if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to offer on this potential purchase before I go and see the car myself at the weekend.
Thanks
