Yep trying to work out where values are going and what to replace mine with. Was looking at the Virage/2012/3 revised DB9 but a nice one is £65k and once you have convinced yourself that this is fine for a little used car - and now quite old - then you can get a DB11 for 'only' £20/25k more. The 456 was my dream car after I drove a 550 two decades ago and decided I would like one but with a bit more space. However, the 3200 was then announced and I realised you could get something similar for less, hence the run of 3200, 4200 and GranTurismo.....but that's it now and a brand change is due.

You have certainly been loyal to Maserati and its there own fault that enthusiast owners are looking elsewhere for sure.
I personally don't think the future looks rosy and for me my interests are more varied.
I would happily take on another project for fun but parts availability might put stop to that in the future.

I'm actually pretty sad about it as Maserati have chased a dream and failed (again). The badge is strong though and will come back as I might in a few years time.
