Prospective new Maserati owner

[zagatoes30]

Absolutely! What are your plans this weekend, sorry, that sounded far too desperate. PM if preferable.
I'm out in the Morning but I have all Saturday afternoon and all Sunday free.

Booked, we are taking the Spyder for a play to give Mike an idea of what a 4200 CC is like

I best go and give it a clean

Woohoo, can't wait!

 

[zagatoes30]

Woohoo, can't wait!

Well she is sitting waiting, cleanish and has her cousin next to her

 

[Parptoot]

I'll be able to park mine neatly between those two. Roof is off ready on mine too!

Stunning Andy....Two great cars..

 

[zagatoes30]

Andy do you want to swap for your mechanic?

 

[zagatoes30]

Well I think he was impressed

 

[Parptoot]

What a Gent. Taking me out for a proper blast, roof off and a soundtrack I'd sell a kidney for.
A very on the ball Richard Grace has already called to discuss requirements so my next job is......anyone guess.


Yes, a nice long chat about car number 42 for me.

Someone was looking out for us today as the nice lady in the white car with the yellow stripe and blue lights decided not to pull us over - phew (must go and tax it tomorrow )

 

[zoros]

I got followed this am. Long enough for him to check on ANPR that I was taxed/mot/insured. Bet he thought a nice little start to his shift - a stolen Maser!

After my Sunday Afternoon jaunt and chat with Zagatoes30 I came home and then contacted Richard Grace via his website. About an hoir later I noticed that I had a message on my phone. It was Richard! On a Sunday!

I wasn't expecting a call back so fast and certainly not on a Sunday.
We had a good long chat, tons of advice was given, and as a result I've charged Richard with the task of finding the right car for me.

Following what's been said on here and what I've found out for myself ive got no reservations in doing this for the first time while looking for the car.
It feels very alien to me but also a sort of release of pressure, meaning I can sit back and relax.

I look forward greatly to what he is able to produce for me but I can relax in the knowledge that it'll be right. What a thoroughly decent and very helpful chap.

I used Richard for my recent purchase.
I had been considering buying a car for a long time and knew what things to look out for.
However one of my main issues was distance between me and prospective cars.
Richard ins't working for nothing so in theory I could save a bit of money and buy myself. However all I needed was an odd trip to look at a dog and a couple of inspections to say nothing of the time and hassle and there was little in it.
In my case it was much easier to get a good car with a warranty etc from someone who relies on his reputation and I wasn't going to spend my free time sifting wheat from the chaff.
What I would say is that my judgement of someone is not so much what they do when things go well but what they do if there are problems and how they deal with them.
I am not going into details except to say I had an issue with the car just after getting it.
It was not and I repeat NOT anything Richard could have foreseen. The car had been checked in recent weeks by 2 Maserati specialists and the problem was not and again could not have been picked up in any inspection so there is absolutely no inference they were to blame either. It was just bad luck. No more!
Anyway Richard put his hands up, apologised (no need it was not anyone's fault) but car was sorted and all is good in the world.
If I had saved a few bob and bought privately any savings I made would be long gone.
I would have no hesitation in buying from Richard again.

It was Mr Grace's reputation on this forum that led me to Autoshield for looking after my car. Three recommendations in one there!

I'll definitely contact him next time I'm looking to buy or sell a Maserati.

The RS4 has just been driven away and I now have Maserati money burning into my account. Mr. Grace is onto it and hopefully soon I'll be in heaven, or is it ****?

 

[BennyD]

For me, the last three and a half years have been heaven. The best money I've ever spent on any car and I'll never sell it. I hope you have the same experience and with Dicky on the case, the signs are good! All the best.

After my Sunday Afternoon jaunt and chat with Zagatoes30.

No problem, glad the Spyder helped convince you how good the 4200 is. Good luck with the search and when you collect you can repay the favour and take me out for a blast in your new toy
