Would appreciate any views on pricing of this car. I realise dealer is a known quantity with what appears to be very good reputation.
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201702062034364

EDITS:
Variators done.
Clutch is at 30%.
Major service apparently recently done (hence clutch measurement is up to date).
Rear tyres will be brand new at purchase.
Forgot to check myself but Nareman at Nuvola says discs have only a slight lip and pads look to have lots of life (not so concerned about latter anyway).

Test drove it today.

Possibly a touch on the high side for the miles and age, however, with Nuvola, you are also buying peace of mind which I guess is why the cost is what it is.

Yes, it may be priced on the high side but the warranty you get and the attention to detail with which Nuvola cars are presented is fantastic. It is a well spec'ed car and has had a recent service. If the clutch and brakes are quite new then there would be very little to spend on it in the near future so it may not look as expensive as it may first appear

Spot on price for a GTS, I paid £40k for mine a year ago with similar miles and they ain't depreciated much in a year.

You could get that for £39k I reckon if you bargain hard.

It's a lovely looking car that with the alcantara etc... why don't you look at buying Stu's old car if it's for sale. It had everything done and was well looked after.

Looks nice but it is another 10k miles on the Nuvola one and I'd mentally drawn a line at 50k miles (which I appreciate is arbitrary but it had to be drawn somewhere).

I thought it was a legal requirement that you could demand the seller of any Maserati with >50k on the clock to give you the car gratis. You mean this is not the case? ;)

Hoping for second weekend in April. Have paid deposit but due to work travel won't be able to sort the rest out until end of next week

Then I want steering wheel retrimmed and that will take 10 days

Suspect it'll feel like a long 3 weeks - still, gives me time to clear space in the garage

Sounds good, a nice time new wheel does feel great and makes a real difference. I hope your garage is a good size, they're a big old beast!

Yeah plenty of room it's just dealing with the junk that's filling it now

Expect to spend the next week obsessing over steering wheels...

Congratulations! I don't think you can go wrong with Nareman - what people forget when comparing prices is that Nareman offers a one year warranty with his cars.
