Si, it looks great as it is and I am surprised you haven't sold it yet.

It is, whichever way you look at it. Same price as a new low spec BMW 318i. Same performance as an Aston Vantage V8.

I'm surprised it's not sold, maybe best to sort the clutch then sell it for £22k.

If the brand continues to get stronger that should firm up the used market as people try to get on board. Not much help in the short term but may be of benefit down the line.

Hi there. I live down in Australia and I am looking to buy a GS given the strong aud to the Gbp. I am using an agent to find a car. What can anyone tell me about Nuvola as a dealer and what's an indie?

Welcome to SM. You might be better either starting a new thread or doing a couple of searches.

Personally, I've never used Nuvola but I believe the owner is on this forum. They seem to have some lovely stock and it looks to be well prepared, but, IMO, you pay for this by paying a price.

I bought my first Maserati from Nuvola - guy there is called Nareman.
Good guy both before and after the sale. I haven't heard a negative about him on the forum or anywhere else.

Cars seem to be sensibly priced. Nuvola are not a main dealer and specialise in prestige and sports cars mainly massers and some German stuff.

"Indie" is an independent dealer or specialist repairer. There are several well known specialist repairers/service outlets around the UK which tend to be just as good (if not in many cases better) than main dealers for TLC on you pride and joy - cheaper too!
As anyone on here will tell you get an independent check on any possible purchase as the £200/£300 it costs will be money well spent - especially as you are so far away from UK.

Hope it helps and good luck.

Cheers

Dave

I fully agree with Woody

Nearly bought an Alfa off them many years ago and found them very helpful.....But agree with the two comments above .... Lovely stock and good examples but you pay over the odds for it...London prices...

Just in case anyone was interested in the original GS posted, I got a response to an email:

"The car has a full main dealer plus 2 specialists service record. It has recently been serviced roughly 2000 miles ago. The clutch was changed approx.6,000 miles ago. The car is in superb condition."

Still not exactly a comprehensive description but thought someone might be interested. Shame the advert is so poor - I'd have thought that'd put most people off.

I am struggling with the technology a bit so this is for Dave. Thanks for your response. Can you recommend an Indie to me. Being this far away I want to make sure I use someone that comes well recommended by this forum. Thanks Geoff

Nuvola is a great indie and would definately recommend them but would still opt for an independent appraisal of any used car unless coming from a main dealer

Any indie will do an independent inspection.....if your buying from nuvola try to get someone in thats not from close by....conflict of interest, so if you go for 2 garages in essex then i dont think itll be a fair write up but if you buying from essex indie and you get a northern company to come check it then it could be more honest......thats what id do....
