Only 20 odd 4200s for sale on both AT and Pheads...

[Parisien]

I browse both these sites occasionally.................and from an average of 40ish on AT last summer/autumn, there are now only 20......can anyone guess why there so few on the market.....resulting in a real lack of choice, plus prices seem very similar over the last 9 mths.......

that is strange really as there is about equal amount of GS' as well on PH and AT

Funny I was just looking at them and thinking the same..There are a few more on PH that aren't on Autotrader.

Not a whole lot guys, plus odd that the rarer GS has a higher number listed!!???

Yeah but GS' are not selling that well, i mean look at the one Graypaul Edinburgh have in, it is the Blu Anniversary model and it has been for sale for about 5 months now and has only done like 11K miles and is up for 37 Grand, very nice car for the money.

As much as i hate to say it , way to dear for the present financial climate and uncertainty, i think even the latest of GS now should be low 30 to sell reasonably quickly , and 05/06 from 23-28 , people who have money are hitting the newer cars, it the middle market that is struggling

See where your coming from Frank that scarcity should push prices up , but these are strange and uncertain times

so how long do you think it will be until GS' start to tumble slightly as dealers will surely recognise they are not selling well in the current climate.

 

[lozcb]

The main dealers are the last ones to react , they tend to out their older stock through intermediaries first rather than be seen to drop forecourt prices .their pockets are a bit deeper

Maybe Loz...................but how far apart are main dealers prices with private sellers etc.....light years!!...........??????

Prices for the GS have been alot lower than what there are now but then they started to rise again a year or so ago.....I agree with Loz the main dealer are trying to push prices up and there are a couple over 40k which is just too much....Prices will need to drop as the GT gets closer and closer to that 40k barrier..Currently the cheapest is around 57k and it will not take long for then to reach 50k.

I mean look at the difference in price here...OK, ones a 2007 with 10k on the clock and ones a 2006 with 15k on the clock but you can not tell me that one is worth 10k more even with that wonderful Maserati warrenty and back up.

It makes sense to me that there are less 4200's for sale as the are at a price that is more accessable to more people...17k to 20k gets a real good car..It must be a real draw to people who want a Coupe at this price....

Totally agree.

gs are amazing value holders, the gt is doing well also, i have been so impressed by the value these italian cars are holding, you need £15k for a good 3200 aswell

 

[Parisien]

Not entirely sure Dem....lots on the market for quite a few months (3/4/5/6), plus wondering what they end up selling for...interested to know!

[dem maser]

well its in my interest if they do fall, ill be looking for one come beginning of the year and right now i need £34k to get a good one, so im hoping they drop below the £30k so i dont need as much on top of my 3200

 

[Andyk]

Must say Dem that there are some good GS out there for sale at 30kish now and the ones that are higher that have been for sale for a while may be worth a cheeky offer.....I will say though your AC is a true classic and will surely start to go up in money while the standard 3200 doesn't (yet).....Great car mate even if that celeb chap had it...Very jealous as it was the car I always wanted when I bought the 3200....
