It actually looks good deal TBH. I part exed my 2009 QP 4.7S with 50k miles, full service history and in immaculate condition for £15,350 for a a 9 month old Merc (through a Merc dealership) So for a 4.2 GTS, low mileage etc..I think it's pretty good. Well worth a look.

I don't know the car or the dealer. It looks a very nice example, albeit with a limited in-house warranty. If it checks out I don't think it's that overpriced for a dealer supplied facelift with a decent spec.

looks stunning and price only relevant when you know iv variators done and the subframe is not rusty plus the usual stuff but that should be covered by last service

I love that combo, looks great. subject to a few checks and some haggling it could be a steal.
Good luck!

Agreed. Doesn't look like a GTS to me. Is it not a GT Sport, misdescribed in the advert?

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I just think the market is only going to drop further this year. Just trying to buy the right car at the right price.

I thought the same that all 4.2 GTS's were pre-facelift and facelift GTS's were 4.7. Not sure I have ever seen a facelift 4.2 GTS.

GTS should have dark/black tailpipes to kick off with.

The Quattroporte Sport GT S was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007. Taking further the Sport GT's focus on handling, this version employed Bilstein single-rate dampers in place of the Skyhook adaptive system. Other changes from the Sport GT were a lowered ride height and 10 mm wider 295/30 rear tyres, front Brembo iron/aluminium dual-cast brake rotors and red-painted six piston callipers. The cabin was upholstered in mixed Alcantara and leather, with carbon fibre accents; on the exterior, the door handles were painted in body colour, while the exterior trim, the 20 inch wheels and the exhaust pipes were finished in a "dark chrome" shade.

The Quattroporte Sport GT S was premièred at the North American International Auto Show in January 2009. Its 4.7-litre V8 has a maximum power output of 440 PS (324 kW; 434 hp), ten more than the Quattroporte S, owing to a revised intake and a sport exhaust system with electronically actuated bypass valves. Other mechanical changes were made to the suspension system, where the Sport GT S single-rate dampers took place of the Skyhook system, ride height was further lowered and stiffer springs were adopted. The exterior was distinguished by a specific front grille with concave vertical bars, black headlight bezels, red accents on the Trident badges, the absence of chrome window trim, body colour door handles and black double oval exhaust pipes instead of the quad round exhaust pipes found on other Quattroporte models. On the interior, the veneer trim was replaced by "Titan Tex" composite material and the cabin was upholstered in mixed Alcantara and leather.

That's because it's not. Standard 4.2 face lift. No such thing as a face lift 4.2 GTS. I have noticed that there are a number of sellers that pop up advertising their QP's as GTS or Sport GTS when they aren't. First give away on this one is the standard grill and not the GTS one.

I didn't notice GTS in the ad header so only considered the car as a standard 4.2. On that basis I still contend that if it checks out ok it's a nice example at a decent price.

I'm sure there will be more than a few distress sales of luxury cars in the coming months so it's very much a buyers' market, but a lovely Maserati for £15k seems an attractive proposition imho. I'd still want a better warranty though.

Looks very nice to me. I would prefer the wood dash over black. And not BOSE. But if I didn't already have a 2009 4.2 I would be very interested.
