KNM Performance Cars
I was looking at a really nice looking red Granturismo, had the Strad bonnet and alloys, all the carbon packs, looked really nice.
Went to see it, checked it out and drove it.
Then the seller became weird and very defensive when asked about discrepancies. I caught him.out about a few issues, they were minor so why lie?
Small things so not the end of the world, I still wanted the car.
Then came the clutch issue, it was an MC shift so nearly £4K cost. I think it was due as there was no evidence to suggest it was done (40k miles on car). He lied to me and told me it was fine - as there was no slipping. We know thats not how it works with this car. He is claiming to be a Maserati specialist (he is not). I asked for a readout from the ecu, he didnt have it, even though he is a "specialist".
I then asked to have an independent inspection as a condition of purchase, I stipulated it just needed to show no major issues i.e. clutch, major rust etc..
He then refused outright and gave me the old "Ive been selling cars for X years, what do you know etc..." I still asked let me get it inspected, but he still refused. Turned down the sale because I wanted an inspection, pretended to be offended by this.
i got dodgy vibes throughout. Im not saying all his cars are dodgy, but he was dishonest and avoided letting me check the car properly. This was over £40K, and he expected me to just roll over and buy the car on his word.
Im going to say AVOID!
Compare this to a professional like RichardGrace cars or Nuvola, the difference could not be bigger.
I ended up buying a Strad in the end, so its not all bad! (not from him obviously!)

Certainly walk away if an independent inspection is not allowed.
But they have pretty good reviews on Autotrader:

Any car where the owner refuses an non-invasive independent inspection, at my cost, to me is an instant walk away
On line reviews are only as good as the people who post them. I nearly bought a 4.7 QP from a dealer with predominantly good reviews but a 10 minute chat had me walking away, and another forum member had a bad experience there.Yeah, I was suprised to be honest as I saw the Autotrader reviews too, hence made the journey to see the car.
I think he had a lemon that he was looking to offload to someone who wouldnt ask too many questions.
Thing is the car looked immense so I know it will sell to someone, not all buyers are so savvy. Big bill coming for someone unfortunately.

Hi everyone,
Could someone recommend a good Independent Maserati Service point in East London?
My Granturismo has a issue that it doesn't charge up the battery anymore (it has a 3 month old battery and alternator) but simply doesn't charge up and cuts out.
So I need to have it towed to a garage within 10mi of my home address in Shoreditch (East London).
Thank you so much!

If you charge the battery off the car, would that allow you to drive further and open up more options?Hi everyone,

I've not checked the distance but Giallo are in Tunbridge, well outside the 10 miles. Auto Alfa could do it, but that's even further

I was thinking Felice or is he out of the picture now?
