I've owned a few years and enjoyed every outing, Done some great trips, Munich, Pininfarina Factory, Ferrari and Maserati Factory, Le Mans with Aston Martin.....and never let me down. Just a beautiful car, but now time to let someone else enjoy this lovely car. We have 4 other cars......this one will go into my pension fund
I doubt I'll live long enough to need a pension...oh, well.

Health permitting and some luck........would like to think most will get there
It's the luck part. What foreign enemies haven't succeeded at, some of my exes continue to try. Ever been run over by your own car before...? I have...

Dealer getting their info wrong again.
I’m pretty sure there isn’t 153, that’s the S and sport GT S added together, basically 4.7 QP’s.

I believe the actual figures are roughly this for 09-13 QP’s. Maybe I’m wrong but I think it’s nearer this in the UK.

60 4.7 Sport GT S
90 4.7 S
Thanks gb-gta.........I told him there were only around 60, he is a customer of mine, but still he took the number off the bonhams site when they had one up for action.
Have reached out to antherone of my customers Ferrari Maserati dealer for exact number but in the meantime he's charging it to 60.

I think it’s 153 or thereabouts when combining together the pre-facelift and facelift Sport GT S examples.

According to howmanyleft, which is not perfect of course, the following is suggested

Sport GTS (4.2)
45 registered new - 08+09
34 left taxed/sorn

Sport GT S (4.7)
75 registered new - 09/10/11/12/13
58 left taxed/sorn

The price is way too ambitious, Richard has sold cheaper examples with lower miles and one even included carplay/android auto. I'm on the look out for one but I personally wouldn't pay over the odds no matter how rare these are. The GTS models in my opinion have become overrated because the S models are just as good and go for a lot less.

25K is a much more realistic price.

Buy an S - you won’t find a sorted 4.7 Sport GT S for that money

£25k is a much more desirable price, but people are actually paying £35-45k for good ones, so that's realistically what they are worth. Apparently.

And @Devonboy is right; an S is all anyone really needs. (Once you have put on the GT S grille, painted the callipers red and bought a loud exhaust. )

I disagree,

There's a silver GTS with 40k miles on desperate seller going for 25k. The YouTuber Jay Emm paid around 25/26k for his last year. So you can get a GTS for that money.

I think Gaz was referring to the Sport Auto, £35k is the starting number for these, for a good one.

A good one.

What constitutes a good one? It's such a subjective thing.

Even the most brilliant, well looked after car can develop a major fault. It's a machine, things will go wrong, it's inevitable so I don't buy into that nonsense.

One that has been looked after and serviced correctly rather than one that you take in for its first service and get done for £5k, we see this a lot.

Yes, that obviously goes without saying, you check the car's history before buying it. But what I'm saying is , it doesn't guarantee anything still which is why I personally don't take it as gospel.

Stuff can still go wrong (and if often does) such as rust, timing chain, etc.

None of these are cheap to fix, in fact almost nothing is cheap to fix on these cars and anyone buying one of these typically knows that.

Anyway, I've made my point. No point laboring it any further.
