Looks lovely...if only it was a GTS.

Yes this looks like my old car (in fact identical) but my QP had 50,133 miles on it. Needless to say I had to sell my car for an awful lot less than this price to shift it. I tried selling it at this price for 7+ months but no takers. So good luck to them but I very much doubt they will get even close to this price.

Can't be many black, cream with red piping and gts wheels and grill. Interesting mileage difference if the same car. Suddenly below the 50k worthless, scrap it mileage.
Suspect, different car or mistake?

or the classic 'it had 49k but we can't stop taking it for a spin. What's a couple of hundred miles? How about a fresh MoT or an air freshener....'

 

[Silvercat]

Actually it might be my old car after all.

I agree.....does seem to be remarkably close to the mileage on my old car and as you have suggested , there can't be that many black and cream 2009 QP 4.7S's on the market with the GTS grill fitted, parking sensors front and back and 'as new' GTS wheels. If it is the one then the good news is that the variators, cam shells, cam tensioner, front suspension bushes and battery have all been replaced at 45k miles. So it will be a great buy for somebody but at the right price.

Actually I might be in Woking this week, so could have a look. Is there a tell-tale distinguishing mark to look out for?

Registration and mileage check I guess. If it is the same car why roll back the miles by only a few thousand?

They won’t have wound the miles back, it’s just a standard ruse to make sure the car appears when people put in ‘max 50k miles’ on an internet search.
Still looks nice too!

You may well both be right. They also have a 4200 Coupe (RX04NHN) advertised at exactly 49K. Whereas, a reg. check shows +50K

Edit: The QP reg. is RX59CKA.

 

[Andyk]

Yep, they aren't the only dealer to say it has slightly less miles so I gets people through the door.its that search engine thing ......Put in 'up to 50k' and it appears and then they say it's been used and test driven as said above.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Rx59cka has been on 49k miles for the last 2 years. Hardly driven for fear of breaking the 80,467.2km ceiling...

Interesting. Never thought of the search engine thing. So worthwhile going and offering 10k and saying to them if only it had been below 50k you could have had the asking price.......

Yes there is. Some of the paint lacquer ( a patch the size of a 2p piece) had warn off on the top edge of the right hand rear wing close to the boot opening. (looking from the back)They could have had it detailed to remove this but check it out if you can. Also look at the mileage on the speedo. When I sold it, it had around 50,300 miles on the clock not 49,000 miles. Finally the car had Maserati supplied new QP rubber mats fitted ( carpet mats warn ) so they should still be there.

 

[Silvercat]

Apologies chaps, I missed the number plate photo. RX59CKA was my old reg! So it is my old car. They wont have a cat in hells chance of getting that price for it unless they offer a 6 month warranty ( c£1800) and even then it will be a struggle. I traded the QP at a Merc main dealer to move it on, so it would have gone to auction. They may have therefore picked it up for peanuts but I reckon they will be lucky to get much more than £14k now.
