Because it's not blue.
With a relatively high mileage (for a MCV).
And because a lot of people are afraid of an avorio leather (too much maintenance).

For my point of view, very aggressively priced (compared to the price we have in Europe for the LHD cars at least), and I really like the interior (I would not mind an exchange with my black interior, but I keep the blue paint). ;-)

Hi AbidK. This car was for sale a few years ago (maybe on eBay but can’t quite remember) . It’s had a lot of restoration work done to it. It’s looking great now but still has the rusty bolts in the side of the seats. Regardless, it looks like great value. I like the black!!

So it has, rusty bolts.
Maybe it isn't as nice as the photos lead you to believe, when up close.

Is this what you’re referring to?
Odd place to be rusty, neither my GS or 4200 have tarnished there.

I know a couple of people who have viewed it and have walked away even at the price. I wish they would sell it and then I can properly have a go at selling mine again.

Gaillo are reputable aren’t they so should be OK. Cream looks great against the black and surely that is a least 15k less than what you normally see them for sale for. Have they dropped down price wise that low. Hard to say as hardly come up for sale.

As with any Maserati a thorough Inspection but surely from a Specialist it should be Good.
The rusty bolts on the seat to me indicate possible damp storage ?
They could be rectified very easily though.

I was thinking the same but they seem to get some decent stock.

I’ve usually seen them around the £40k upwards mark but as you say they hardly come up for sale.

That is where I have pitched mine for sale which wants for absolutely nothing and owes me far more. At the Giallo level I would just start to use mine as a daily.

Mechanically it's probably spot on.
But a few scuffs/scratches, rust stains, rusty bolts/brackets, maybe it's a bit weathered underneath, is enough to put one off, especially as future owners probably want it as a weekend toy/events car shows etc.
There isn't a photo of the engine bay, maybe a bit weathered, if it was 'wow' you would add a photo.

I can’t find the pictures I saved from 2021 from when it was last for sale but as I said, someone has done a significant amount of work to the car. It had been sat, uncared for, for many years and I could be wrong but I expect the service history is sparse. As people have said though, at this price I would have thought any major underlying problems could be sorted (if it has any which it may not obviously).

I love the colour combination interior is loverly, it's a lot of car for the money just cracking value. Yes there may be a few bits that would benefit from TLC but as we all know there is always something that we can improve on these cars. Gaillo are not a back street outfit and I bet they have been right through this, at this price it should sell.

I'm surprised that Giallo haven't swapped out the rusty bolts heads. Simple to do and would increase its appeal enormously. Any buyer seeing them would wonder what else is wrong if they cannot be bothered to change the obvious.

In this state a cheeky bid of 24-25k might produce a handshake.
