That’s lovely. From memory, the piano black trim alone was over £1k, and it really lifts the interior compared to the standard brushed metal. Seems like a crazy price to me. Buy it, quick!

Doesn't seem overly or silly cheap does it? It is 5 & half years old so should be circa 40% of new cost as a guess.

I thought a 2013 year model would have been the facelift car?

Do they say it's a 2013MY? It's a 2012MY that just happens to be registered in 2013, quite common.

There description of the spec is out mind, 'Skyhook Sports Suspension' doesn't exist so the car has the optional fixed rate set up (rare on an auto) or it is just ********. Also it looks like it has the Sports Pack which some people seem to believe makes the car billions of times better. Anyway no mention of it but many want it. Looks like a great car BTW but a spec inspection needs to be done like with any used Maserati as things can vary a lot.

Agree, the seats look facelift ones but the car has the front fogs of the pre facelift car. Weird !

It's definitely a 2012MY with the Sports Pack. From memory, this gives it the:

Oval exhaust tips
Side skirts
Splitter on the bottom of front bumper
Different "wavy" pattern on the seats
Skyhook suspension
MC Auto shift software

It is a pre-facelift car and has the 2012MY seats. They are the same as previous years but with a different pattern and were only in production for a year. 2013MY ('GT Sport') on seats are the different sports seats that ran until production stopped a few months ago.

The 4.7 auto always had skyhook as standard and the wavy seats are just the 2012MY seat design, no need for Sports Pack to get either. Sports Pack also gives the rear spoiler and exhaust valves open in sport manual at all revs rather than >3k. Surprised the car has not sold, looks great.

Yes that's true of any high performance vehicle, what i was trying to say was that consumables/parts are cheap compared to the Mas.

Congratulations - That’s a great way to spend a Saturday!

I think it’s a great looking car, and looked like it had been well looked after and had money spent on it as required...

Not me hunter, ADG (Allister) is having a few bits we agreed on to be done to the car before I pick it up Saturday morning.
