Hi there, this garage is located in Tunbridge Wells in Kent. That is also an area where independant Maserati specialist partners ADG Sevenoaks (Sales) and Giallo (Service) are located. I am sure they will have some knowledge of that car if it was owned locally. It is now comong up to the dreaded 68k engine out chain service. This is why you see so many 3200's for sale with 65-70k on the clock 
Giallo can change the chains with the engine still in the bay, but speak to Rob at Grimaldi for the optimal way to do it too, for a second opinion.
Infact.... I have just checked the address and ADG are also located on the London Rd too, but that may be a coincidence as that road is very, very long from memory! Nevertheless, the way the pics are taken does look similar to the way they take their pics. This might be the place where they sell the cheaper p/x cars. Notice they mention, "the car will be fully inspected by our Ferrari trained technicial prior to sale." Wasn't Matthew the boss of Giallo Ferrari dealer trained?
Re. the car. fair price bearing in mind the higher mileage, claimed good condition, warranty etc. Check to see if the partial history is on schedule and main dealer. Does it come with the books, code cards etc? Also look for rust under the boomerang rear lights and along the inner rear wheel arches, which is a commom rust prone area on the 3200 and 4200. Mechanically, well, check everything on a 3200 to be safe In fact see if you can get Giallo to inspect the car (PPI) for you and check the crank shaft endfloat wear, as even some Auto cars are starting to suffer from failure in that department. Check the brakes as these are expensive main dealer only items, the factory exhaust as that is a weakpoint on the 3200, and a decent set of tyres which won't come cheap. Other item to look out for having been replaced/or not is the mightily expensive throttle body unit.
Personally I would need to know answers to the above before bidding.

Very Good Points
The fact it will be checked by a Ferrari trained technician is a worry, surely it should be a Maserati trained technician, seeing as this was the last of the Maserati V8's prior to the Ferrari 360 engine being de-tuned and dropped in the 4200. Also the partial history is a concern, it shows it has not been cared for at some stage in its life; mine has a full main dealer service history, and a great deal lower milage, it still did not stop my wallet losing well over £5k in one year alone in servicing and parts bills.
Great cars by the way, you just have to buy the best you can and check it over carefully. And if you cannot afford big bills leave well alone, these cars were over £60K new, and the parts are expensive, I even had a new throttle body (around £1500) quoted at a lower price by a main dealer than at a well know specialist who deals in Maserati/Ferrari/Lambo parts.

Oh no it's not. The 4200 engine has chain driven cams and was designed for the 4200 and subsequently modified for the F430. The F360 is an old cambelt design.

That car is cheap and reflects the current financial climate.runway78 said:

Rust is far from common on 32 and 4200's. A few have minor problems but they are definately the minority.runway78 said:

I've never heard of an end float problem on an auto, and again a minority of manuals have suffered mainly due to the incorrect oil used.

EBC red pads and Tarrox custom made disc's are better and half the price of oem's.runway78 said:

It will undoubtedly have stainless end boxes (the only non stainless parts) on by now, oem's will not have lasted 60k and for the sake of a hundred quid extra I cant imagine that new oem's will have purchased.runway78 said:

and if they are good check that they are a decent make of the correct rating. Last thing you want on a 3200 is cheap poor quality tyres.At that price it wont be mint and you can expect the first service to be a hefty one. Well worth getting Matt to check it over first as a few 'niggles' and that chain service later the money you have spent would buy you a very good one will full history and half the miles.
And breath......... all that said they are great fun cars and will make you smile whenever you get in. I should know I've had mine over 7 years now.
For the mileage and colour I think the money is strong. The warranty will be worthless unless you have the cam chain service done and it needs doing now, £2500 done properly (engine out) at an Indy, say half that leaving the engine in? Many owners don't bother, and I don't intend to open up the debate on the wisdom of leaving the chains til you hear them, but remember the warranty.
At that mileage you want to know the condition of the suspension, as wishbones get creaky at that mileage and that's a chunk of change, you can't just buy bushes.
There are good value Maseratis out there, I've never seen a cheap one though!
Plenty out there at that mileage to choose from, and red isn't a popular resale colour so bargain hard.

I recently had suspension bushes replaced by Matthew at Giallo, he's had some tooling made that allows him to replace them without replacing suspension parts. I'd give him a call and check.

Sorry to the OP for this but, in response to 3200gt:
"Rust is far from common on 32 and 4200's. A few have minor problems but they are definately the minority." I disagree. I have had 2 3200's and an assetto corsa. One was resprayed partially in the past so we we will disregard that car. I am fussy, but nevertheless I noticed on both other cars bubbles under the paint starting to develop at the base of the boomerang lights and under the rear wheel arches. Both cars had sub 40k miles. Not savage rust but light bubbling which would be a problem for the current owners of those cars now I imagine. And the reason why I mentioned it is because it is hard to blend paintwork in on the back of a 32 due to no panel end lines between the roof and the rear wings or under the rear lights. I had quotes done as I am fussy. So as I said to the OP, check that. Because minor bubbling there can turn nasty down the line. Please check www.maseratiforum.co.uk for others mentioning this too. And a couple of 42 owners have started to report this too. Not every 32 or 42 owner obviously, but some. Not an issue on my 4200 mind, but clearly worth double checking when buying a 32 or 42 as decent bodyshops ain't cheap.
"I've never heard of an end float problem on an auto, and again a minority of manuals have suffered mainly due to the incorrect oil used." Incorrect oil use may contribute to the end float problems but it is not the sole cause. A handful of manuals? If you go to Giallo's 10 times a year you will see 10 manuals having partial engine rebuilds. He practically has one meachanic permanantly working on knackered 3200 manual engines. And like you I too thought it was only a manual car problem, until Matthew told of Autos he is now starting to fix with that issue this year - they are probably due to incorrect oil.
"EBC red pads and Tarrox custom made disc's are better and half the price of oem's." I had red EBC pads on one of my cars when I bought it and they were awful when cold and just a little better when warm. Just awful. The car felt dangerous. And yes all other brake parts were checked. I contacted Hi Spec brakes to have some custom stuff made as they also make brakes for Radical. The guy proceeded to s
g Brembo and say that brakes are just made from metal by humans so don't buy into all this F1 brand stuff. Okay I thought. Then I found pages and pages of people sgging this guy off on the internet for poor fitting badly functioning brake kits. I don't have a death wish so I passed. Tarox were sent a set of Murci discs by Simon George from Evo to copy and they suffered from fade worse than the origianl items on track. But hey, I gues Tarox and EBC are cheaper than OEM so what do I know.
"It will undoubtedly have stainless end boxes (the only non stainless parts) on by now, oem's will not have lasted 60k and for the sake of a hundred quid extra I cant imagine that new oem's will have purchased." The rear boxes on the 3200 are mild steel, and the over axle pipes and front cat section is a low grade of stainless steel. These parts I have never heard of failing. Regarding the ste rear boxes though being replaced with stainless ones by now, as me old grandma always used to say, "assumptions are the mother of all f*ckups". The point is to give as much knowledge to the OP as possible, so he does not get caught out if the last owner was a fan of OEM parts, and not all owners buy cheap 3200 exhausts off Ebay or from Eurospares.
"Oh, and I've only ever heard of one thottle body needing replacement. Runway78, how long did you have yours for?" Of the 3 I have owned, one had a throttle body & potentiometer replaced by Greypaul by the previous owner. The other 2 were fine. However, the chap who bought my Assetto Corsa said his outgoing 3200 had one replaced with a second hand one which failed and then had to be replaced with a new one (£1500.00). If you speak to David Askew he will tell you of the reconditioning service he offers for the throttle bodies - and he does them on a very regular basis.
Thge point of my original posting was to show the OP that if the car he is looking at needs many of the listed issues all of a sudden that car ain't so cheap. Being forewarned is being forearmed, as they say. I am trying to help him (without trying to sound patronising), not run a competition for "whoever has the biggest dick wins" with other posters. Please bear that in mind. I hope you are still not upset with me because I said red is a bad resale colour for the 3200 in a previous posting? Agian, that is not my opinion, but a commonly known fact within the Maserati trade. It would seem poster Papcoryan would agree.

Runway78, I was not trying to discredit your experiences with 3200's, just trying to give what would appear to be the flip side form your post. Obviously my experiences and yours differ greatly as does each individual car of any particular make and model. Mine hasn't suffered any of the problems you have experienced and nor have any of the others which I know personally.
I dont think it fair to damn all cars for rust just because the ones you have had and a few mentions on maseratiforum. Lets face it, I dont see everybody rushing to post 'oh, my 3200 is rust free' why would they? it is not the sort of thing to mention until it goes wrong.
End float issues on auto's is a new one on me, as I said I have never heard of this issue affecting auto's, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, only that I have never heard of it.
I stand by what I said about pads and discs though. If both discs and pads are new, ebc and tarrox will out perform the oems by a considerable margin. New ebc pads on old (uneven) oem pads will always be poor performers and will need considerable heat in them before biting.
Regarding the throttle body issue, "One had a petentiometer replaced by a previous owner and the other two were fine." by your own admission you had no trouble with throttle bodies, only potentiometers, which are easily resolved by cleaning the contacts and reseting.
Tail boxes will undoubtley be stainless but I didn't say don't check them, its not as if they are arkward to get too.
If you read my post again, I make exactly the same point about what appears to be a cheap buy only takes a couple off smallish issues to make it a false economy. All of a sudden he could have spent them same amount as a well sorted half the mileage example.
There are always two sides to every coin however your post didn't put any of the plus sides across. I was trying to even the balance somewhat saying that the majority of 3200's don't suffer with the defects and errors that you listed and therefore it was unfair to intimate that they did.
Unless the original poster is an absolute numpty, which I doubt as he took the time to do his homework on here and possibly other sites first, I think he would have the sense to have the car checked over first by a compentant mechanic. His biggest exspense will be the chain service and I suspect that is why the current owner is now selling.
As for colour combo's, that is a subjective area and red is best, so I win!

ADG are the one of the biggest (if not biggest) Independant Maserati specialist sales outlet in the UK, until recently they were regularly shifting 12+ used 3200/4200's a month.
They have now stopped retailing 3200's altogether because of the high risk of expensive/major failures after sale for which they can be responsible for putting right if a warranty often won't.
You could easily spend £12000 on repairs to a "bad" 3200.

Go to a main dealer, the techs are Ferrari/Maserati trained. The same guys work on both marques, even the SD3 has F/M logos.Great cars by the way, you just have to buy the best you can and check it over carefully.

Detuned 360 engine? Well for starters the engine in the 4200 has chains, not cam belts and produces a similar power to the 360...I could go on
Auto-Sportiva is a new company (as of the 1st of October) hence why we only have a few cars in stock, however I have personally been involved in the buying and selling of Maserati’s for over ten years previously as a partner at ADG Sevenoaks and prior to that as the Dealer Principal of Evans Halshaw Ferrari/Maserati in Birmingham. In my opinion this car is well above average in terms of condition hence why we have taken it on.

Confused 
So your an experienced Maserati/Ferrari dealer and your asking Joe Public about the price levels of your own stock? Or was it a way of getting some advertising/interest?

Was originally marketed with a "Tuppy Exhaust "
and the Car has a Partial History.
Whats the "Base Price" Cash Deal Guys ? or is it Walk away Sit ? Thanks for any Positive Advice

Auto-Sportiva is a new company (as of the 1st of October) hence why WE only have a few cars in stock, however I have personally been involved in the buying and selling of Maserati’s for over ten years previously as a partner at ADG Sevenoaks and prior to that as the Dealer Principal of Evans Halshaw Ferrari/Maserati in Birmingham. In my opinion this car is well above average in terms of condition hence why we have taken it on
Confused So your an experienced Maserati/Ferrari dealer and your asking Joe Public about the price levels of your own stock? Sorry I am not a car dealer and no I am not asking Joe Public about the price levels etc.
This is the info I was emailed.
Apologies for the misunderstanding.
