Tevez.........Maserati's are a PITA to own, I crashed mine straight through a hairdressers shop front, when I regained conciousness through my blood splattered face I could see 3 blondes looking at me.........I thought I was dead and arrived in heaven!

I'm trying to sell my Maserati.

Convertible, 4200cc and only 20,000 miles on the clock and 177mph top speed.

It's within your budget and it's with a dealer at the moment who wants £3,000 to sell it for me. If your interested I'll sell you it privatly for the £3,000 less than whats being offered.

Leave your e-mail address here if your interested.

I'll have it for £3000 more than I would have paid your dealer.

£3000 then.

"If it appreciates in value, buy it, if it depreciates hire it". Can't remember who said that, but with reference to cars its certainly true.

Put £15k of it to one side and use this to lease a motor for £500-600pm. For that kind of money you will be looking at something in the £40K bracket. After 2 years, just hand it back, simples. If you're self employed you can even claim it as a bizzy expense.

It is if you're a braindead footie player on £30k a week.

I've never owned a Maserati, never spent £25k on a car, never been on £1k a week never mind 30k, but was never short of women when I was younger.

Buy something that suits you, not some cloth eared bimbo with big knockers.
