Cheap QP coming up at BCA Manchester

[crostonian]

Just to let people know who may be interested there's a 2004/54 82000 mile Quattroporte coming up this Friday at BCA Manchester. It's Dark Blue with Ivory leather and full service history up to 68000 miles, graded as a 3 so should be in decent condition, it should sell for somehwere between £13000 and £15000.

IMHO it will be lucky to get over £11k. There are lower mileage cars being retailed at £18k after all its a 7yr old leggy Maserati.

Would be interested if anybody knows what this sells for, not in the market or anything, just curious.

£11k is a bit of a steal for one of these really.

[rubystone]

I'd have it at £11k....

[crostonian]

I'll be there, if it only makes £11k I'll be tempted myself, will report on what it does and condition etc.

With the price of spares you could make a good profit on a £11k QP if you broke it. Thats if it goes for 11k of course(which I doubt).

The engine alone has to be £3k, shirley?

Reserve not met at £13400

[crostonian]

I understood it as hammer down on sale at that price?

[Chipchap]

So it did not sell at £13400. That would then have attracted a comm of say 10% another £1340 + 20% vat on comm of £264 = £1504+£13400 = £14904 not sold. So what was reserve set at ???


Madness to buy at auction for only 20% less than retail with a warranty, sale of goods act protection, ability to PX etc. Sometimes I am astounded by peoples actions.

As a trader I would have paid approx £220 commission inc VAT at £13400

Small thread update . . .

There was another QP at Bellevue today, not the best of prepared cars, but not bad looking, hammer price was IIRC £23,200

I quite like that he's gone to the effort to make videos of the car although I don't like the fact that he doesn't seem to find anything at all wrong with it... not even a stone chip or scratch.

Cheers,

seems like a lot of car for 15k

Indeed

[bryn_p]

Sounds crazy, but maybe the low price is putting people off... I automatically find myself thinking that it must have issues at that price even though I have absolutely no other evidence to suggest that!

Cheers,
Bryn.

[maser_spyder]

And now down to £14k....

Looks ridiculously tempting, doesn't it?
