New owner and proud

[daverichardson]

Hi everyone,
I purchased a black 2007 Quattroporte Automatic locally (Middlesbrough UK) in February 2014 and it is fabulous.
1 year warranty at local dealer,
50000 mile service at main dealer
good history from main dealers
just under £20,000
Fantastic deal on insurance
Still learning and no regrets er yet
I need to think about (and save for) another service next year and am comparing nearest main dealer (Leeds) with a specialist local outfit that have a good reputation.
so far so good

Hi Dave, welcome from me too; these cars represent incredible value for money. Keep enjoying it, and I hope we will see it somewhere soon!

Sounds great. Any idea why the MD in Newcastle closed?

The main dealer in Benfield Newcastle stopped supporting Masearti about 3 months ago. I don't know why.
This leaves JCT600 in Leeds about 50 miles from me as the only main dealer.
I visited the other day for some paperwork they owed me, all went well until I asked to see the workshop. They were reluctant. They did say for my QP service next year they would provide a courtesy car or come and pick mine up and return it after the service. Lord knows how much that would all cost.
So I am checking out a local prestige service centre about 7 miles from me with a good reputation and history with Astons Ferraris and Jags.
They are called Falcon Engineering based at Skippers Lane Middlesbrough
We shall see
