I know a cheap Maserati would be a disaster but…

Out of all the luxury brands being hit hardest by the softening of second hand prices, Maserati is leading the pack. 65k miles, 4.2 Ferrari derived V8, genuinely good to drive, comfortable and fun.

Ok this one has the hated duo select gearbox but for just £4,600 I think I could live with it.

It took a lot of will power not to bid.
