They always budge on the price.. ? Is that not part of the silliness at the end.I saw all the other cars being prepped too! Three of which have already been mentioned on here, there is another that hasn't been mentioned.

We weren't bartering with Mike 'old owt yer and' Brewer, we were dealing with the head of production who knew he had other potential buyers turning up. £13,000 for an 11 owner 90,000 car albeit with good FSH and in nice condition is too much. We are looking at dealer car at the weekend with a warranty, 60,000 on the clock, 4 owners and a nicer interior for a grand less. I think who ever buys it will be prepared to pay a premium because of the celebrity factor!Lordbenny said:

The 3200 has been worked on by Guru Mike Roberts (Maserati shed) who services mine. The car for sale is indeed a little on the expensive side but has had the Throttle Body upgrade done and will not need spending on for a good couple of years. The only thing I can see negative there is the steering wheel leather has come away and looks tatty. This is a common problem and can be remedied easily enough for the price of some glue. I am doing mine this week thanks to a great DIY thread on the SM forum. 3200 prices seem to be firming up now with a well sorted low mileage manual car fetching around £15k so let's hope this one sell and once they get on people's radar prices go even higher. I think WD will help and once people realise you cannot get a better supercar for the money it should firm them up for good.

Would ELEVEN owners put you off?3200 prices seem to be firming up now with a well sorted low mileage manual car fetching around £15k so let's hope this one sell and once they get on people's radar prices go even higher.

HahahahahahahhahahahahahaOne for every year? lol
Erm I must admit I didn't really know it was an 11 owner car that really is on the high side. As you have said someone will buy this for the whole "movie car" bragging rights without really thinking like you are that there are much more sensible cars out there for a similar price!
The thing is I bought mine for cheap and it's got half these miles but have had to spend a good few K getting it "Just Right" so the same could be said if you went and bought a car that looked more sensible than this if that makes sense? At least with this car you know it has had Mike's expertise to look over and fix things like the Throttle Body and suspension. Believe me the DBW part of this car is the achilles heel and so this car should run right.
It's up to you at the end of the day but I would recommend a specialist inspection done by Mike or Emblem (or McGrath etc) before parting with your hard earned as these cars can hide a good few K in repairs.
If you have any questions either PM me or get on over to sportsmaserati forums and introduce yourself etc...
Good luck and hope you are in one of THE finest cars ever made soon.
