Im sure a GT like the Rapide would be fine as a daily driver and especially for the motorway miles I cover.

Was originally looking at the Maseratis, Granturismo and Quattroporte and the 911 and Panemera before that but think I've settled on the Rapide as something different.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no flush fucker, but I've done well at work this year, come out of a 13 year relationship and thought fuck it, why not.

Kept looking at the Maserati’s but never really liked them for some reason
They decent cars aswell.

This,

never owned one but a friend has had a few,unreliable expensive to repair etc old men’s cars.

What are you after?it sounds like a toy you want to get out now and then ?

things like Astons etc can’t be drove everyday as they end up getting on your tits.

They are a boring car though tbh mate.

Strangely enough I was looking at one yesterday...... A young lad who works for me has had two different DB9’s.

If anything goes wrong they will break the bank!

There is a DBS for sale here that is a really good buy, just had a full service and new parts...... wait for it, the service and parts cost £10k.

I spoke to a guy last night about buying his Maserati Granturismo. 5 years old and still under warranty. I may go check it out today.
 
I think if you have got the dosh and you’ve made your mind up then go for it. It if makes you happier than you were prior it’s a good investment.
For me it boiled down to still living in my home town which ain’t amongst the most wealthy parts of Britain and having kids at footy every day morning .
Not very practical

I drove Rio Ferdinands blue Aston. I think it was a DB4/5.

He had it at specialist card and we got the job of MOT’ing down at another Vardys garage.
 
I’d have a Maserati tranturismo over a rapide, but again, you’re getting back to reliability and big numbers for things going tits up. Or a merc CL. Merc CL is a beast.
