Identical to my car (only one I have seen). A bit confused by Technical Cloth in "Extra Campionario" as this car is an LE like mine and appears to have full leather so can someone tell me what the Technical Cloth is in reference to?

Think it's a typo courtesy of someone misreading the Maserati blurb Geoff. I think on the LE package (so full leather) it listed tech' cloth as an option - extra campionario. Bit odd, but hey it's Italian, you have to switch OFF the aircon using the econ button after all.

Oh and that's an ambitious selling price in my humble opinion in spite of that astonishing mileage.

It is a high price.......i do think they worth mid 30s if they are 2007 cars but not 06 as 7k more is a GT.....i know the GS is a better car but people will always be tempted to go for the newer model......

15000 miles? At the speeds you go Pete, that must have taken 25 years!!! :saifi4:

The low speeds I travel at and the fact I have kept the servicing up to date combined with the low mileage means whoever buys my car will have the comfort of knowing they have a gem that hasn't been thrashed to death :tomato9:

Urby mate, it certainly would be a good buy and whoever bought it would/will be picking up a gem. If you need any testimonials as to the fact, then we would all support you. Just don't leave the fold. :hug:

Lovely but the vendor is deluded if the think they will acheive that price.

I still stick by what I said some months back, no GS is worth over £30k in my books. This is down to the fact that GT's can be had in the mid £30's now and although they are very different cars, there will always be a circa £7-10k buffer between the 2 models

It is over priced without a doubt...Main dealer with great warrenty but still far too much......there are a few 2006 LE's up for 30/31k so as a Maserati dealer I would have expected a few more £'s but not that much.

You are such a kill joy Matt. Firstly, the GS will eventually appreciate in value as it becomes more scarce remembering they never made that many in the first place in right hand drive. Secondly, it is a totally different car and will appeal to different people with the GS being more akinned to the GTS. The Granturismo will never achieve the same status with the 4200 engine

Guys guys guys ... this is a very low mileage (seemingly) pristine GranSport. It *will* sell close to asking price. As I have stated a number of times, if you want a GranTurismo, there are 90 odd to choose from on the second-hand market. If you want a low mileage GranSport, you may have the choice of only 2 or 3 at any given time.

If this car is still available in 3 months and has been heavily heavy discounted, I will run round Modena naked shouting 'Vorsprung Durch Technik'!

1000% agree with you. I really cannot see the relevance of a Granturismo v Gransport. One is a common site on our roads with loads of them backing up waiting to be sold. A well cared for low mileage Gransport is hard to find and will always fetch top dollar for those wanting to purchase the best. I believe that even higher mileage cars will eventually start to appreciate in price. The Granturismo is definitely the more modern car but for those in the know the Gransport is the more desirable and sporty of the two. If you are going to compare cars at least match the Gransport with a GTS

I GS will go up in money...But thats when its a classic in another 30 years time......Don't think you will see values above 30k for soooome time.............Dealers will still try and get over 30k for good examples but most will be under 30 for some years to come....
