Hello Sports Maserati,
First time poster here - have been eyeing up purchasing a 4.2 GT for a few months (nearly went V10 M6 route which although quicker and cheaper, just didn't do it for me - too similar to my 330d as well). The GT is just so darn beautiful and great noise and it's a pre-kids extravagance.
What are people's thought's on values for them over the next year or so. I believe they have held up rather well the last 18/24 months with asking prices for low (30k) miles ~ £34/£35k and higher ones (50-60k) at more like £32k. I've been offered one of the high mileage at under £30k with warranty. Does this sound fair market value in the present insecure world economical climate? I realise that most cars depreciate, what I don't want to do is buy a car approaching 60k miles and have trouble selling it in say a year and end up giving it away. Or is it better to spend a little more now, and hope that will be returned when selling.
I read somewhere people think the values will adjust downwards by £5k over winter. Thoughts anyone?
With the 4.7's about 6 months ago one went at under £40k - the lower mileage 4.2 prices will slowly merge with higher mileage 4.7's thus £35k spent soon could be high 20's in a year? plus of course the issue of private/trade and the costs with those!
Any thoughts/people in possession of a crystal ball??
Many thanks in advance,
Laurence
