If you dont get much luck with an answer here, pop over to either www.maseratiforum.co.uk or www.sportsmaserati.co.uk

Out of interest, why has a 58 plate car had an MOT? Wouldnt it still be under 3 years old?

Very reasonable for this type of car. Only need a service every 2 years or 12,000 miles and then in the region of £1-1.5k depending upon what needs doing. Other main consumables are as you would expect, tyres at about £250 a corner and fuel consumption around 12/14mpg in town and maybe up to 20mpg on the motorway. Mine has been completely reliable and manufacture's warranty is able to be extended to cover any unforeseen problems. All in all it is quite "affordable" for an exotic Italian.

interesting WBAC valuation of £37.5k

if only. Why don't they just say 'sorry, we don't want it'

WBAC valuations are consistently a joke. They valued my 996 at £16k which I later sold to trade for £20k-ish (would have got a little bit more for it if Charles Ivey hadn't smashed a wing mirror and scratched the paintwork while they were vandalising valuing it), and they valued my Maser 4200 at something like £12k when I sold it for £16.8k privately (buyer got a very good deal!)

The only cars WBAC must get are from people who absolutely, desperately need the cash in the space of about 48 hours, or who are too thick or too rich to care about losing their money

A yardstick on GT values a colleague of mine in the trade has bought an 08/57 with 37k miles for £41K, will probably retail at £47995

That's simply not true.

They give low valuations on specialist cars as they find it difficult to deal in those, but when I tried my wife's BMW 1-series they were offering as much as we paid for it last year at an AD - probably due to the 1-er being quite a good seller.

The Maserati granted, maybe. But my 911? If you live in the South East, you're wading through them here. Although they're not as ubiquitous as a BMW or similar, they're hardly what I would call specialist if you live in the Greater London area
