Not sure it is anything you are doing wrong. These are difficult to sell privately at the best of times and now is not the best of times for big V8 cars. Very little buyers about and the ones that are mostly prefer to buy from a reputable dealer/specialist with a warranty. Have you thought about asking a specialist to sell for you ? That is a very cheap GTS and maybe that will also scare a few off as well thinking why is it so cheap. Hard to say what you should do really.

Agreed.

Have you spoken with Richard Grace? Recently a forum member had a similar white GTS for sale for about 9 months and Dicky took it on and it was sold in 4 weeks.

Whatever you decide, good luck with the sale.

Off topic, I noticed you use Adspeed for servicing so assume you are a fellow horsham resident? If so did your car used to have a MAS numberplate and sometimes a black protective car bra or similar. If so I’m the idiot in the 2 different blue GTs you’ve seen over the years since 2015 flashing and waving. If not, all of the above will mean nothing!

On topic everything above about private sale for a high value “exotic” applies and buyers are nervous about the Maserati running cost/reliability reputation. In your shoes I think my next steps would be to consider an online auction sale with a reserved that you’re comfortable with (I know Collecting Cars has mixed reviews but the GT fits the bill I would have thought of the CC audience for example). Or specialist SOR from a reputable dealer who can offer the protection buyers will be seeking.

Just to add, I would have no problem buying a GTS privately, ESPECIALLY from a forum member, I would just have a PPI done before hand. That is too difficult to do using the auction route...in my opinion anyway. Perhaps I am just old school and some how its possible to do a genuine PPI at auction now. So for me, I am looking to buy privately (forum preferred) or from highly respected sellers like Richard Grace.

Lovely GT, i'm sure you will find a buyer soon. I personally really like white GT, and am in the market to buy a GTS, but I have a major phobia to black interiors so that rules me out of this one, and lot of others it seems!

We are all different I can only apologies for my problem. On the bright side I read of someone not too long ago in the US, whose favourite was a White GT with a black interior, and he hunted for 9 months to find one....so just have to wait for the right person to turn up.

Anyone got any advice If a Ferrari 360 is dearer or cheaper to maintain than the Maserati

Seems you will get the answer direct from the forum expert.

Never had a 360 or any F-car but still want one. Guess you can be lucky / unlock with either brand. I will be armed with maintenance fund before next purchase.
Your previous car had clutch which can terrify many buyers wrt scary bills. Guessing 360 are manual or DuoSelect like the GT you had so same potential big ticket item at home point.

Have a dilemma of which to go for 355 360 or f430 the latter maybe be cheaper to run as no cambelts but higher tax and insurance

Buy the one you want, the cost of £1000 every 3 years to do a cambelt change is negligible at less than 2% of the purchase price of the car. Depends on budget, but I would buy an F1 F430 or a manual 360, 355’s are getting old and the F1 is meh, the manual pretty dear.

I remember about 15 yrs ago I wanted to get a 360, and at the time you could get one for £30-35k. Now the prices have really shot up.

They really haven't to be honest. I've had three. My first was in 2001 at two years old I paid £80k. 2nd in 2007 at £55k, third in 2013 at £45k. Today average ones are still in the £50k range.

360's have pretty much been static. If you keep one for five years you'll spend more in maintenance than any fluctuations in price over that period.
