Hi Guys

Just joined this forum cos I jsut bought a 4200 CC.

Argentina blue, with Ivory leather and 33k with FMSH.

I bought it from Nuvola in West London from Nareman, who was a really nice guy. Wish I had come onto here before, and would have gotten an independant inspection if I had, but I didn't. Hopefully the FMSH and 12 month warranty will be ok.

I paid "26k for it, but it has jsut had the 31k service, and is absolutely beautiful - what can I say, I fell in love!

It has gone back to Lancaster to have the the Alloys 'smoked' some interior detailing work then, hoefully this weekend - its ALL MINE!

I am soooo excited, althought saying goodbe to my SL of 10 years will be emotional

Warm welcome Nahoc , its called impulse buying and unfortunately Maserati has that effect all too often , Nareman is a really nice guy but at the end of the day he's still a car dealer and on the other side of the fence so to speak

lets hope all goes well , what year is the car , popular colour combo be great to see some pics ,

regards loz

Hi, I bought mine from Nareman as well. I've done 5,500 miles since July without a hitch. Well, not entirely without a hitch. The clutch had to be replaced 1,000 miles after I bought it but Nareman chipped in for the cost. It seems that the clutch plate had been replaced shortly before I bought the car but the flywheel and thrust bearing had not been replaced and they were worn. That just wore down the new clutch in super-quick time apparently.

Anyway, apart from that I have a beautiful and very reliable car. It'd done 18,500 miles in 7 years and has now done a further 5,500 in less than 5 months! The poor old thing doesn't know what's hit it.

Good luck with your new purchase Nahoc.

Stu

Gransports are fab. Just make sure you check it out independently or it may end up being rebadged Granheadache

Good Luck and welcome to the forum

Hey there. Congrats on the purchase - it looks mega. From the picture it looks like you purchased the car from Autosportiva in Kent. How did you find them to deal with?

Hey, thanks - I'm ashamed to say I have not seen the car yet. I did try to get down, but did not get the chance. And no, I did not get an independent inspection either (cowers in the corner) but as yu say, it looks mega!

I will report back when I have picked up the car, but the guys seem helpful and friendly on the phone.

Congrats Nahoc , remember if its icy at all and or snowing on your way back , there is an ice button on the center console , also on the dash where the gear indicator is below the gear number is the temperature gauge if its on or below 2 degrees it will beep and flash consistently on start up for around 10 secs suggest as its your first solo drive that if its icy / snowing you press the ice button, this limits the revs in each gear to avoid wheel spin etc take care and get yourself back home safely

Just had a flash through my head of you driving with the famous masser grin turning to complete fright if she starts to slide if the conditions are treacherous

be safe

regards loz

It certainly is a rare colour combo. Well, seeing as you've already bought, I guess we are going to find out about the quality of Autosportiva's stock very shortly

Keep us posted sir...
