Why spend £15k on a QP worth less than £10k?

So that QPV Sport GT at £9k or Best Offer still looks unsold.

If so although this below normally could possibly be a great buy. However it doesn't seem to make much sense unless it is a simple or cost effective fix:

If it is a new clutch or major gearbox issue then buying the one above make much more sense no?

This has gone unsold as well:

Not a fan of those 20's on an earlier QPV. Much prefer the later 4.7 GTS wheels

Wow if I was still in Weston super Mare I would be going down the M5 like a shot to look at the blue one.
If it's got good subframes and the motor sounds nice could be a good project.

If I was geared up more like I'd like to be, I think I'd be giving that blue one a punt.

The grey car is not a Sport GTS. Its a Sport GT. Big Difference.

I'm not sure anyone said it was a GTS. It confused me at first but they just put the car as a Sport GT S/A but guessing they meant Semi Auto for the S/A bit.

Confusing as well as a QPV seems to be a GTS whereas a Granturismo seems to be a GT S.

I wish manufacturers made things simpler rather making them more complex than they need to be.

In the Ebay ad, the grey car is called a Sport GT S four times. They’ve added the S completely spuriously and erroneously. Liars!

I think I must have been thinking of a different Grey car but was definitely a Sport GT. It had S/A in the title. Can't be this one then.

Aren't all GTS's ZF's? So this being a DS is pretty obvious then?

I was thinking of the other grey QP. This one:

Maserati Quattroporte Sport Gt S-A 2006 | eBay

I can understand how people get confused easily though. You've known Maserati for many years Ewan. I'm just getting my head around some of them after maybe 5 years. Others less versed will certainly struggle. Unless they are knowingly seeking to deceive of course.
