Well, I have finally taken the plunge … and bought an Italian V8 that I’ve lusted after for years !! I have ‘silently’ been guided by all of your words of woe & wisdom and have bought (what I hope is) the best I could afford, with known heritage, complete history and low mileage !!
I was after a 55/06 plate facelift 4200 but ended up with an 07 plate Gransport LE (begrudgingly paying more tax to HMGov :-( Sold by Richard Grace cars in 2013, and then Nuvola in 2014, it has lived in walking distance from me for the last 7 years and been maintained by McGraths for all of that time. Yet I’ve never seen it on the roads here. Fingers X for years of trouble free motoring then (yeah … right). I have gone in with my eyes open; the pangs of guilt having bought the car are massively outweighed every time I press the START button
One question to start things off please. Within the Blue Maserati Folder is a small credit card sized Black Plastic container (thin) which rattles when shaken. It has a bar code on one side. The previous owner was unsure exactly what it is but was told NOT to leave it ever in the car !! Has anyone got an idea what it might be ?? I don’t see it mentioned in the user manual anywhere, and having activated the Tracker, they tell me it is nothing to do with that.
Anyway, thank you for listening and for your virtual guidance thus far. Hopefully it hasn’t gotten me into a world full of trouble ?? Maybe meet some of you in person over time now that I am no longer just that lurker. Cheers for now. Paul
