For sale is my 2009 Gran Turismo S 4.7

The color is Nero Carbonio (or as we call it, Black), with a black interior and piano black accents, alcantra headlining, titanium colored brakes, and 20" Asanti AF144 3-piece wheels.

Everything on the car is stock, except the wheels. I have access to the original wheels so if thats important to you, just let me know.

It has only about 4,500 miles and is garaged kept. I drive it only on weekends when the weather is nice so the mileage may go up from the time I post this ad.

It still has the balance of the factory warranty.

The car is located in NJ but can easily be shipped anywhere.

Pics attached. If they dont work, PM me.

Didn't you just buy that car???
Thats right, I did.

Circumstances have changed and most of my money is being put into my track car so Ive got to let this one go unfortunately.

Good eye... how did you figure that out though?
 
Haha. You chimed in on another thread and I recognized the picture from Maserati of Central NJ. Too bad you have to let her go so soon :(

Ahhh... good eye!!

Ya, Im upset but its bitter sweet. Im pretty excited to get more serious on the track with my track car... but on the other hand, Im letting go of one of my favorite cars Ive ever owned.

Also, between waiting for the nice weather, traveling for business, and owning 3 other cars I barely ever drive the Maserati so I dont get to enjoy it as much as I should anyway.

Just about 90k...
Replaced it with a 996 turbo (with x50).
 
that's awesome, I have the same car, I have thought about selling it too but I love it too much, did u sell it privately or trade it in for the porsche, I had the same porsche 2003 996 TT, just sold it this weekend for 52 k, do you regret selling the maserati??

I dont regret selling my Maserati because it was a car that really needed to be babied. It was a '09 with 4500 miles and I was way too scared to diminish the value with any scratch, chip, and every mile.
The car was awesome!! A car Ill always remember... but a car Ill wait til I have 6 cars in my garage at once before I buy again.
The 996 turbo is absolutely amazing, its got 40k miles, its a bit older so it already has some wear and I dont mind putting the mileage on it... and Im not overly concerned about every little blemish.... and on top of all that, its a fraction of the price.

One thing Ill miss most about the car is the sound of that exhaust!!! Nothing like it! The sound was so exhilarating! Im trying to find the right exhaust for my 996tt, but who knows what Ill find.
 
Kudos to you for getting 90k. I am a day away from letting my 09 MC-Shift with 5800 miles in excellent condition go wholesale for 83k. Replacing it with a Cayenne Turbo this week and time has run out trying to sell it on my own. Amazing how many flakey shoppers there are out there.
The funny part is the offer I got is from an Lamborghini dealer, and their offer is higher than from the Maserati dealer where I purchased the car. So much for building any customer loyalty.
I will miss the car, it has been wonderful.

I was also very let down by the poor number the Maserati dealership offered... especially because I bought it from them only a few months before.
I think their number was 81 or 82, but I cant remember exactly.
They tried to kill me on the value because I had aftermarket rims... I bought it from them with those rims!!
Some of these dealerships are just insane!!
 
the dealer up in spring valley ny is who i deal with, they have a 09 gt s f1 paddles with 20,000 miles, they started out at 97k , i think they are down to mid eighties to sell it, its amazing how much they went down in price, the poor guy that traded that car in must have gotten killed on the trade in, again you are very lucky to get that price, my car has low miles too, low miles and a stock car will help, i never drive the car for this reason and i bought another porsche so i have something fun to drive.

09 with 20k miles is worth mid to low 70s!
They are asking stupid prices lately!!
 
Too funny, you must have been shaking your head regarding the rim issue. Having traded a million dollars worth of cars with this dealer, I expected a reasonable offer. Very short sighted thinking on their part. I will never buy from them again.

I don't understand the concern for the mileage. If you're paying all this money for a car, why not drive the hell out of it? It's meant to be driven. Why garage a car for the next guy to enjoy?
I agree... but I go through cars very quickly so in order to be able to do so, I have to be concerned with the value when it comes time to sell.
If I intended on keeping the car for a few years, my view on mileage and the like would be very different.
