Autotrader Gransport
Discussion
It only CAPS at around £14K and my pal in the trade bought a QP for just over £10K recently. I could see a private seller maybe dumping one out at that price but suspicious for a trader, especially one with just a mobile number and an email address but no website/landline. Probably a scanm but not that wide of the mark.
25 - 26k will get you a minter from a specialist with good history.
When I worked for Graypaul I sold my old man an 07 done 11k in Blu Mediterano with LE spec and fdsh. He gave 33500 for it and I'd say it is one of the best in the country.
There is a company in Sevenoakes that seem to have some well prepared cars in stock.
The Gransport is a fantastic 911 alternative and very differnt to drive than the 4200.
If you're keen on that one advertised I would have it inspected and if all there is to worry about are a few extra digits on the clock buy it at that money!

Thats the cheapest GS I've ever seen for sale, by £3k. The car was for sale a couple of years back with 75k on it so hasnt covere much ground since.
If its been looked after, has had its annuals in that time and does OK on a PPI, I would say its good value motoring.
If you havent already done so, pop along to www.maseratiforum.co.uk and www.sportsmaserati.co.uk for a good bunch of lads and some great knowledge about these cars.

I've been keeping an eye on Gransport prices for the last year or so as I'm 99% sure that i'll be having one as my next car.
That's the cheapest I've seen so far by a decent margin, but i don't think it's the best value car out there. there's a couple of cars about with under 50k which are up for just over 20 but could be had at around 20k and there's a few sub 30k mile cars from dealers that can be had for low 20's.
I doubt it's a scam and the price does look tempting but i think i'll save a bit longer until i can afford something a bit less leggy and with some dealer backup as the price difference (circa 6k) doesn't outweigh the lack of dealer backup and higher miles, I know the miles won't make it a bad car but it will make it very difficult to sell on when it has done over 100k in a few years

Absolutely concur with you there. There are some crackers around the £22K-£25K mark with significantly less on the clock - resale is a big factor for me as I've been bitten before.That's the cheapest I've seen so far by a decent margin, but i don't think it's the best value car out there. there's a couple of cars about with under 50k which are up for just over 20 but could be had at around 20k and there's a few sub 30k mile cars from dealers that can be had for low 20's.

For now, I've the luxury of getting away with a 2-seater car (Esprit) but I can see myself owning a GS later in life.
It is a heavily revised 4200. From memory, bigger wheels 19"s, faster shift times on the gearbox software incl blips on the downshifts, exhaust valves that open in 'sport' mode, quicker skyhook suspension with revised dampers. 400 hp instead of 390 hp. More aggresive front and rear bumper with deeper sills, a more race orientated interior with better more suportive seats.
I was told that there were quite a lot of software inputs from the Enzo and 360 challenge stradale.
The car is basically much more complete than a 4200 - Although lets not forget the 4200 is a great car!!!
The Gransport to the 4200 is like the 360CS to the 360 Modena.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that a 4200 basically? I have seen different Gransports with a more 'guppy' mouth that look totally different to that...what is the connection?

Not rude at all. You are spot-on, and with the other post, I now understand the difference between the 4200 and Gransport and the fact that it is the Granturismo that I was thinking of GranSport

I cant see Gransport prices falling that much now, they seem to have bottomed out, plus only around 400 came to the UK, few have been exported and only 14 for sale on PH compared to around 90 Granturismo's. Buy one now with good history and mileage and after 2 years i reckon you wont lose much money at all.

Have to agree - although its worrying to see them this low I doubt they will drop too much more . It is a lot of car for the money and with several at high mileage demonstrates that they can be used. WZC1 said:

I cant see them dropping at all for a long time, most will hover around the early 20's and upto around 30k for low mileage 07 cars with full leather. The Gransport which does not lose it's money is the Spyder, they seem to fetch 35k onwards but only 24 were registerded in the UK.
