Granturismo Prices - How low can they go...?

[NicoG]

Hi All,

Have been lusting after one of these for some time since selling my CSL and often window shop the classifieds....

I'm after a 4.7 and £30K seems to buy a decent car, (even an MC Shift as opposed to Auto) though I can see the 4.2s are now regularly coming up for less than £20K these days.

How much further can these fall?
It's not that I can't afford one at the moment, more that I could justify it to myself more easily manmathematically if I thought they weren't going much lower and so I could rely on depreciation factor free running costs...

Will we see these close on 4-figure asking prices like the 3200s and 4200s, and even more recently QPs for less than £10K ??
Or are they a bit more special and so might never get below £20K for a looked-after 4.7?

They seem incredibly good value already given what an F430 cost (yes I know it's a very different car, but you also know why I make that comparison)

Cheers

but the interior is a massive let down and will drag these down in value..

Yet you suggest getting a 996?
I appreciate the interior isn't great in the Maserati, but for me, the quality of the materials makes up for it - that's more important to me...

Each to their own, but I struggle to think of any car with an interior so woeful given the cars value than the diabolical offering in the 996.
I got rid of my GT2 mainly because I just couldn't live with all that crap plastic. (that and the fact that it kept trying to kill me...)

Granted the 997 is a massive improvement, but it bloody well needed to be! - The 996 is truly shocking for a car that cost what they did new...
