Are GT's getting cheaper?

[anonymous-user]

I'm seeing a number of GT's for sale with prices coming down below £16k. Anyone notice the prices seem to be getting less?

Supply and demand I think. They made a lot of them.

[JJbing]

Purely down to prep cost required on the less desirable models and the fact they're very capable commuter cars so can do signficant mileage, compared to other "exotics"

Well its a good thing for those wanting to buy one then. I am surprised in such a short space of time, there seems to be a paradigm shift.

We are in the Maserati section of the forum. GT - Granturismo.

They are very expensive to maintain relative to value. Its very easy to spend 50% of a cars value on maintenance in three years if it is at the lower end of the market.

I own a GT, I'm not looking to buy. I'm making an observation that I think the values are decreasing and was interested to see if others thought the same

I wouldn't say easy, but certainly possible if you buy a bad one. Then again the GS isn't any better, and the same can be said about a gen1 996, a Bentley Conti/Flying Spur/Brooklands, Merc SL500, high spec Range Rover, or Audi RS4/5/6 or V10 S8 for the same sort of money.

+1 with you Paul.

The sentence, in my opinion, should read - "they can be very expensive to maintain..." But thats the same as any of the cars listed above and or lots of other vehicles.

You dont buy a V8 of any type without knowing about the consumable costs. They are like most things, a car.

So far my Porsche Boxster has cost me much more in the 4 months I've owned this car, the Boxster set me back a few grand in the same period.

Why would Maserati GT be in a supercar section?

Why would someone with a McLaren be in the Maserati section?

Some gentle searching and it seems the price of fuel isn't helping the values. I'm confident on face value they look like they are lowering.

[fflump]

The older 4.2s seem to be softening, maybe fuel, variator issues, or fact that due to being relatively inexpensive to buy the older ones are not getting the maintenance they need.

In contrast don't see the Granturismo Sport dropping in price at all.

Is the gearbox in this type of car something to be scared of?

Never owned an automated manual. Interested to know how the seller can claim the clutch has 40% left..how is that measurement taken, miles?

In order to read the clutch measurement, you need the correct diagnostic tool. Just like you would with a Gallardo (for example) with the e gear system
