Just reduced the value of my GTS

[bigbob]

...by managing to go through 10000 miles the week before the car turns one.

These cars are made to be driven IMHO. I will find out how the trade views this when I sell mine at five years old and 50-55k miles in 2016.

drive it like you stole it!!!

well done, 10k a year is excellent.....

 

[Woody]

ha. Its an odd one, eh? 10k a year isnt high....unless if a Ferrari/Maserati etc. Odd.

These cars need to be driven....no only to keep them exercised, but to bring a little ray of sunshine into every petrolheads day

All power to you for using the car the way it was intended to be used - on the road - not as a garage queen.

Life's too short.

Ive done 26K in 2 years and know they all drop in value. Its a value vs fun factor. Mind you ive done 4K in the other one and feel guilty every time I take it out

GP offered me 55 for mine in exchange for a new GT Sport. So 15k of fun in 2 years.

 

[bigbob]

Not wanting to slag your maths but they would do you £5k off a new one so that's £20k of fun really - still pretty good mind!

Totally agree. Why buy a dream car for it to sit in the garage....could be dead tomorrow!!!!

Enjoy, cheers Wattie

On the bright note.....

Where are my car keys..

Maseratis aint ferraris.....made to be driven....im a fine one to talk doing low miles every year but thats more due to working long hours!

How is the motor these days Dem? Did well over 20k in my first year with GS - admittedly including a couple of euro trips - Wouldnt swap the memories for anything

 

[dem maser]

Going great (touch wood)....not doing the miles id like but still enjoying her

I am averaging a 800 a month since I got mine, and considering its a 30 mile round trip to work which I only do once a week, would appear I am enjoying the sunny evening drives

Should level out during the winter months lol

But the way I look at it, I didn't buy the car to worry about the mileage, I bought it to enjoy it, which I am.

well done exe.....
