if youd driven it then you would have noticed the comedy steering wheel movements which maser engineered in to the spider

why anybody would want to go from a 360 to a maser spider is beyond the realms of understanding, unless you are looking to trade down and they are the only folks offering decent money for the fezza...

if thats the case then be careful as most masers drop value and several dealers have them stickered up for 25-30% more than they are worth in the trade - be wary a good part ex deal is only ever fueled by a large margin on what you are being sold

only decent convertables are new XK / XKR, 996 cab or Boster S.

Have a look at www.clivesutton.net the blue one they are selling is my old one and their margin is pretty low on it I can tell you, but it needs a service from Maserati this month but as it's an 04 model and actually an 05 plate it doesn't have scuttleshake. It's only the earlier ones with the plastic reear window that drive like that. I really like liked it and so did my wife. It also has a TUBI and was prior to my wife owning it a 1 owner car actually only covered 1500miles. It's a nice spec and colour, and TBH there is nowt wrong wi it. the guys at CS are pretty nice to deal with too, thats where I got my Murci. Car came from Charles Hurst Maserati.

William Cramp was the sales guy and he's not bad, but it was Clive himself that closed the deal.

If it's near to you, then maybe worth a look. at under 40k it's not that dear really.

Any other info then email me chap.

Cheers
Paul

They are different cars for different things so no point comparing them like for like.

the P1 club sold their maserati spider because the customers complained of huge scuttle shake.
