MASERATI QUATTROPORTE SPORT GTS..2006 10K start/70K miles..no reserve!

Dodgy sale, what a surprise! Just called me asking what I'd give for it! eBay really does annoy me at times. It'll reappear somewhere within a week.

Dicky, its worth keeping an eye on the auction sited - I know you're not afraid of an auction - as QP's seem to come up pretty regulalry. There are two QP's waiting at BCA at the mo (but I don't think either are for you!). I saw Sport GT go at Blackbushe last year and while I cant remember the details, it was a sensibly priced car and appeared on a traders site days later for something like £7k more.

Cheers Woody. I do regularly look but can't get time off work to go very often. I did go to Nottingham in February to bid on a Sport Gt. It went for £37000 and needed about £5k spending on it. I find eBay is often better than the auctions but I'll keep looking as I do. Fancy a QP or a GS as I've been doing the maths and all costs included, it's about £1000 p/a more for me to drive a Maserati daily than at present having 2 cars. I don't enjoy spending £140 a week on fuel but rather spend it than lose it in tax, insurance and servicing on my other motor.

7k..........ok....so you stick a warranty on it....prep it....take 2K off for bits and pieces...negotiation.........

Not a bad amount to save.........or part save if bought privately....what is this car with yrs/miles selling for on AT......or other dealers sites?

£22800. I've been told by someone who knows the car well that I should not pay more than £22k for it. I thought it was worth more but I trust the guy who knows it.

If you look at his feedback it looks like he pulled out of a previous sale, maybe his shill bidder fell asleep and missed the close of the auction on that one.

What did he say Dicky..Take it it was no....No suprise that it was a fix

 

[dickygrace]

He said he'd got 3 calls since it finished offering more than it went for! But still asked me for my best price, what a knob!

 

[dickygrace]

Knob isn't censored then, that'll have to be the expletive of choice.

DG, I couldnt agree more - eBay is full of dreamers, timewasters and shysters. Can't stand the place and am dissapointed there isnt a better alternative.

That looks like it'll need a right load of love to get it looking good.
