Maserati GranTurismo - does anyone know this car?

[W12GT]

Does anyone know this car at Bowker Maserati?



It is about 200miles from me so I don't want a wasted journey. I received a video and noticed that the bottom of the drivers door protrudes from the side skirt and that the crease on the middle of the passenger door sands proud of the rear wing - see photos. Is this normal?

Apparently they've had it 3 months and it has had a total respray as they couldn't get the colour to match when the bumper was resprayed due to stone chips. I've not heard of this before!

Has anyone seen it or know of any history? Even though it is a main dealer it doesn't come with Maserati warranty.







Thanks in advance,
David

Run forest run £36k is way too expensive for a stories 4.2 in the least popular colour come resale they will kick you hard.

There are plenty of 4.2's in more desirable cars with good provenance for less money

Try Richard Grace he usually has honest examples with warranty and is well respected in the community

Looking at the website he doesn't look like a specialist - he only has four cars.

He's well respected and quite well connected for Maserati sourcing.

Nuvola is also well thought of.

I contacted Nuvola about one of his cars. He seemed too busy and said he'd email me some details. That was 4days ago. Not received a thing. I won't be chasing him - if he can't work for my money I certainly won't chase him to give it to him.

Thanks all. I am merely expressing my opinion on the two suggested. I have spoken with a couple of main dealers; one of whom has been exceptionally helpful and even though they don't have a car they have pointed me to someone whom may be able to help.

I've also spoken with ADG today and they were really helpful and provided a lot of advice!

I'm not moaning about the other two but my personal experience of Nuvola has not given me a good impression of the chap. He has my number and email yet not contacted me even though he has a car for sale that I was interested in. I'm sure I am not the only person fed up with dealers that make little or no effort to sell a car - in fact I know I am not as there are plenty of posts on PH by people who have been treated the same by a variety of dealers - including main dealers!
