Dem, yeah, it went through Enfield. Would love to know, pls PM. Don't think you said. My guess is £21-22k. VFM at that!

I agree Andy, interior isn't the best but for a 5 y/o car with what seems like complete history, I think I'd overlook it! Seriously, not many cars have a PROPER FSH.

Had a look last night, don't think I could live with the interior, tempting though....It's not solely the seats, it's the strip staring back at you from the dashboard. Think I would constantly be wishing I'd held out for a different one. Love the exterior though. It's about right pricewise as it has a good history. Cash buyers should be getting it at £25k ish.

Really, I would imagine most GS have proper history .. sure a few have been not been loved but surely most buy these cars and service at proper times with Maserati or specialist .. Most for sale says FSH .... After all the are just 6 years old ... Could understand once we get to 10 year old.

I'm not kidding Andy, you wouldnt believe it. I have rang about quite a few GS's over recent months which are advertised as FSH, then when you get the dealer name of where its serviced, I've been ringing to ask what was done or, more importantly, what was due next. The results have been interesting.

The most extreme was a really, really nice looking one at a *ahem* specialist which had FULL Maserati main dealer history. Turned out the fella had bought the car 2.5 years earlier from Meridien, had it serviced then and it hadnt even been looked at since. Really? Yep, really....people buy Maserati's and consider 2.5 year gap in history to be FULL SH!


Also, saw another one, 56 plate, full Maserati history.....full being one service then the car was 2 years old, nothing before or since. I supose it should have been "what service history it has is with Maserati" :)

It amazes me when people neglect to service anything, let alone a Maserati, the effect on the value of the car is far in excess of the cost of the service!

Put the price on here Dem, it'll benefit anyone looking to buy it, my guess is £19700 plus fees....

Yes Dicky thats why I didn't believe it to be true but Woody has experience in these matters .... These cars are still 2 to 6 years old... Why would you not look after them .

Agree Woody....seems very good value...if all above FACTS...accurate and correct though.......................the number of times you have to query and question every single item on a for sale advert is breathtaking.......!!!!

It's like a firesale, 3 GS's have come onto the market in the last 18 hours! Got to be a good time to be a purchaser. That's 6 new ones this week!

Yep been up for agaes ... but they can hang around as with all Maserati .. Its probably OK but I do find it not an aspiring look ..black/black oh and more black ... Thats why I like the yellow piping in the other just breaks it up enough to be more desirable...to me that is.
