Hi there,
After many years of being a Maserati fan, I'm finally in a position to buy one!
I'm considering a 4200 GT or Quattroporte.
Driving will mostly be shorter runs for leisure only, with 4 persons (2 adults 2 children). Road types 50% city, 50% country roads.
At first I was thinking of the QP with duoselect, but considering a lot of my driviing will be in the city I wondered if a Manual 4200 would be a better option from relaibility / driveability point of view?
So I guess the questions are
1) Is a manual 4200 going to be a more reliable option than duoselect QP?
2) Would a manual 4200 be easier / smoother to drive in the city.
3) Is there enough space in a 4200 for 2 adults, and 2 (10 year old children). How does boot space compare?
4) What would be expected depreciation for each - asssuming I spend 16k on purchase?
5) Approx how much I would need to budget for annual service and repairs?
6) Any other pros and cons of each type?
Apologies for all the questions, but if anyone could pass any adivce on that would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Philip.
