Granturismo Prices - How low can they go...?
Discussion
You can also get around the late 90's style screen and navigation these days by buying an after market 1mm screen layover from the likes of Naviplus in Australia. This brings Apple Carplay (e.g. Waze) with touchscreen capability into the car.
The GT 4.7 is an epic car, looks a million dollars and as they say rarely seen but often heard.

Naviplus looks interesting gives it a decent "updated" look
I am looking for a GT now as I can't seem to find a decent M6 V10, looks like similar clutch issues!
I'd go 4.7 GT over V10 M6 any day, the M6 does sound nice there's no doubt but the Masser is honestly the best sounding car out there. I am looking for a GT now as I can't seem to find a decent M6 V10, looks like similar clutch issues!
They probably cost similar to run and the Masser is way more exotic / exclusive if that's your thing, can't be mistaken for a £6k 630i
I do miss some aspects of mine.
I had a 4.7 S MC shift for a couple of years and enjoyed it very much. The type of suspension fitted makes a big difference to how they drive, mine had the MC suspension which is almost identical to the Stradale and it was very good in the corners, It did make it even lower but I did not have any issues with that.
I paid 42k for mine, a 2009 GT-S MC-Shift 2 years ago. Today it's not worth 30k I suspect and I don't care. fantastic car.
I've just ordered a Panamera but I'm keeping the Mas.
A bit more money into it over the next 2 years for up to date suspension (with lifters), sports cats, an ECU upgrade, etc, and I very much doubt you'll find a more capable car for under 100k. Certainly not a proper 4 seater.

Not sure about a "more capable car" Alfa QF for instance I'd imagine is more capable but I've never driven either. Brand new M5 competition for 80k ..BUT the Mas GT sounds and looks 100x better than them all and is pretty exotic compared to them!
I bought a 2008 car about 6 years ago for a daily. I paid £38k for it from Dick Lovetts, ran it for around 18 months putting an extra 15000 miles on it and then sold it for £28k which is perfectly acceptable.
The interior is 'modern but old fashioned' a bit like many nice hotels. Probably the best car to compare it to is a CGT which has a similar 'modern/traditional' interior.
Mine was a 4.2 so nippy but by no means fast, though its not a sports car so shouldn't be judged as one.
I have thought about getting another one simply because I thing they are an absolute bargain now.
I would avoid some of the newer ones as they have desperately tried to make it look younger than the quite old car that it now is with lots of horrible styling touches which look tacky and stuck on from Halfords.

Just curious, if anyone looking at the Maserati has cross shopped the 5.0L Jaguar XKR or XKRS? I know of three acquantances who have had Maserati buy their cars back under Lemon Laws. The 5.0L XKR has proven very reliable (I have 170,000 miles on mine) is quick, nimble and quite comfortable. The one drawback are the rear seats are really not usable unless you have no legs, but makes an elegant parcel shelf. It will outperform the Maserati and for about $6-700 can be pulleyed and tuned to above 600hp. You can find 5.0L cars now in the low $20K range. They represent outstanding high performance value.
Guy told me it was £2k when I had mine done. I asked how they made money on it when I only paid £175 to my insurance. He said they have an exclusive contract with the insurers and they get the same for every car from the insurers but make a killing on Fiestas and stuff. Said he’d done a Cali a fe weeks before and that was closer to 5 figures.
