Anyone here familiar with Gran Turismo models? I was looking to find clean quattroporte GTS from 2012, but proving impossible. Gran Turismos are more plentiful and I still like the looks. The MC Sportline Centennial models in this blue color are absolutely gorgeous to look at and 4.7L screams. Available transmission are the ZF6 speed or some automated manual, I would stick with ZF.

I don't want the turbo motors, the N/A V8s 4.7Ls are essentially Ferrari motors. They are old school motors and....as surprising as it sounds in this context, are actually decently reliable. Car can be driven hard without much worry.

Well, I just did a search for 2011 to 2013 Maserati Gran Turismo on the Manheim dealer auction site. Many dealers will list their entire inventory as "OVE" cars (stands for Online Vehicle Exchange). Basically, the dealer lists the car on Manheim and sets a price that's about halfway between wholesale and retail. If you have a customer that wants a certain car that another dealer has, you buy it on OVE and you're basically splitting the profit with the dealer that has the car in inventory. So, the prices you'll see listed are what one dealer is willing to wholesale a car to another dealer for. Bottom line, you could probably get the car for the same price as a consumer if you drive a hard bargain. So, this is pretty much what's on the market in dealer inventory nationwide for that model of vehicle.

Looks like both of the blue ones listed above are a darker blue than the one you pictured. One of them is a theft recovery, and it is going through the regular auction today (the one with 23,480 miles). The auction's estimate of value on that one is $30,500, although I'd bet it's a tough sell at that price with a branded title.

Thanks man. For Gran Turismo cars, I would only consider 2017+. The reason for the 2012 model year QP is that in 2013 the next generation came out and they went with turbo charged motors and different styling. The Gran Turismo cars on the other hand stayed with the 4.7l N/A motor.
