Newbie looking for a MC Stradale

[MarkMas]

You get wood in a QPV but not in a Stradale. That's what @MarkMas seems to be inferring, at least.

Implying.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Implying.

Sorry, yes. I inferred.

It shall give cause for concern only I have need to be interred.

Most annoying thing about stradales is they are nearly all either black with black interior or white with black interior.
Not annoying at all of course if you really like black or white cars with black interiors!

I do feel blessed even if mine is only silver (or touring grey if you want to be exact about it or grigio touring if you want to be Italian about it)

ideally it’d be a 2 seat as I agree, they do feel a little more of an ‘occasion’

Thanks for the email I replied yesterday that I have one coming in, but it may be in your spam folder.

Its anything but needing repairs, I've spent nearly £20k on it in the past 2000 miles. Its likely the best one in the country and only 54k miles. I'm not comparing the two. I've a 240z that i'm rebuilding, which will be for narrow B roads, I just want something that doesn't feel the same and will free up cash towards other toys!

Entirely your choice. But right now, after spending £20k inside 2k miles, and with such a low mileage car, that is gonna be one very desirable air cooled Porsche. Prices are not at their strongest and so you may have to let it go much cheaper than waiting a while to recover the £20k spent on it.

The Maserati is a lovely experience. I love my Gransport after over six years I have had it. I may consider a GT at some point but it is likely to be a facelift GTS Auto which is much, much less than a Strad.

The Strad may be different to a GTS Auto for sure. But the total cost of ownership is much higher. And as for blistering performance?

Well, very little touches the 996 Manual Box X50 Turbo for brute torque, speed, top-end pull and acceleration for a 45k mileage car.

So GT ownership for me (if it happens) is likely to be by chopping in the Gransport, the Turbo is a keeper.

I highly recommend that you speak to Richard Grace. I bought my Gransport from him over six years ago. I still bump into him at Autoshield Maserati when it's in for a service. He knows the marque well, has a good handle on prices and what budget you require to get into a good Maserati of whatever model you want to get into.

I also think Marios at Autoshield Maserati is a great guy to talk to about the Stradale or any other model that you are keen to own.

I've priced it below what uber GT sold one for 8 weeks ago(mines £20k cheaper). I've a few people interested, it'll sell. There's more 993's about than 2 seat MC strad's!

 

[hashluck]

Of course all of those fretting over 2-seats or 4-seats should never overlook the best of both worlds Gransport MC-Victory - those gorgeous Enzo bucket seats up front with 2 very usable (even for adults) rear seats. A masterpiece of packaging!

Only if you have the massage seats option.

More Intefered than Inferred

Is interfered a cross between inferred and interred? For example, if someone, let's say, fell in a hole on a trip to Le Mans but the matter was not referenced explicitly, does that mean that Sam had been interfered with?

 

[Scaf]

Sam had been interfered with?

Wouldn’t have been the first time, I sleep with one eye open now

That's why it is safer to sleep away from the main house Sam.

I think he must have been interfered with to fall in the hole in the first place.

There was never a question of it will sell. It was always at what price it will sell for.
There will always be buyers for Porsche cars.

Maserati is a different marketplace.

One of the appeal of Maserati is the relative rarity of the marque - even versus Ferrari. So few owners means it is a smaller reseller market. Right now, prices are suppressed. Good if you are buying. Not good if you are selling.

Porsche when compared to Maserati is a volume-produced car. They literally are "10 a penny" and in the area of Cheshire I live with its Man U and Man City footballers in the area, NOBODY blinks at a Porsche.

But as I drive the Gransport through Alderley Edge village, people on the kerbside café s raise their phones to take photos. They do the same at filling stations wherever I fill up.

The appeal of Maserati is the scarcity in numbers. Gransport cars are a couple of hundred cars or so. But prices today have fallen from where they were around six years ago and very few sell at advertised prices - tyre kickers knock the price down citing "one went on autotrader for a packet of salt n vinegar crisps" and so buying and selling dynamics are very diffetent with such a small pool of cars.

Had a 240Z myself. Four wheels, three speeds, two seats...and not much else. Glorious!
