Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

[makeshiftUK]

Lovely colour. When I read the comments on the bonnet vents I agreed. Having seen them, they don't look too bad to my eyes. My car has done 71k miles and looks no more worn than this one so I guess it depends on how they are used (kids etc?)

I think it's a testament to the... yes, I'm going to say it... build quality and materials used. Mine is on 82k miles and her interior (largely) defies the miles and age... and the rear seats get used often.

Given how hot these things get, bonnet vents seems like a good idea.

The guy really wanted a Cossie but couldn't afford one.

 

[Andyk]

Ah, didn’t see the bonnets vents. Not so much of a fan now.

Luckily he did not have any plywood lying around to make a whaletail.

This looks like Silvercats old car, no doubt he'll be surprised at the price

Actually I have changed my mind. Looking at the video the vents are not that bad. Not something I would have done to the car but seems well executed although cannot make out if they are just stuck on which you could then remove are if they have been cut into the bonnet. Saying that each slat looks individual so is it a complete new bonnet ?

The car does look in great condition in the video and the grey with red I think looks fantastic. Notice they say full history yet it was serviced in 2018 then wasn’t again until 2022 and cover 18k miles in that time so even going on miles isn’t in 10k so back early missed one service. Still looks a very lovely car.

The more a I think about this car at 29995 for 5k more you could have Dicky’s with 20k less miles and that will be a sorted car as well.

could have had! I believe it is already sold as so many of his examples quickly are!! With only 60 in the UK, and probably a reasonable number not in great shape, good ones seem to sell quickly.

Good ones at the right price indeed do sell quickly

Didn’t expect it to hang about. still for sale on Dicky’s web site this morning though.

Yes it is, I’ve had 3 people wish to buy the car within 48 hours of listing on my site. It’s being collected soon but I never list cars as sold til they’ve gone to their new home.

Someone's got an excellent car there

Like buses! Formerly Jayemm’s Sport GT S… he had it for 6 months, this owner I think has had it for a year or so.

For it to fetch that money I think you'd need someone to know it used to belong to JayEmm therefore you can be sure it has a good history.

Do we know just because JayEmm had it the history is good. He didn’t have it 5 minutes. Seemed to buy it and take it to Matt for a few things then sold it. The grey one with the red leather that used to belong to a member on here for me seems the better buy as it is around the same price and miles but is a 2012 car which as Dicky says go for the later cars. Both looks stunning though.

My thoughts also... I'd say SportsItalia will be in a good position to advocate for it's condition as they had it in for rear discs/pads, apple car play and some other things IIRC.

This QP is unique in that is has a stock Titantex steering wheel... others (like me!) have upgraded to an OEM Carbon Fibre steering wheel sourced from a GranTurismos etc which look great, but don't quite match the Titanex weave adorning the remainder of the interior. Again if memory serves, this one lacks front heated seats... bizarre that this was even optioned on a GT S, surely it should be standard.

 

[gb-gta]

Could you wrap the titantex bits to match the steering wheel?

With regard to the recent ones for sale it will be interesting to see how easily/quick they sell with a more semi daily driver type mileage on. They’ve still only averaged roughly 6k miles/year.

Just been watching the video again if JayEmms car. From the look of things it could be a decent one. All protected underneath by Matt. Not sure what the service history is like.
