A 2008 Maserati GranTurismo is currently up for sale on AutoTrader for a jaw-dropping £8,900 – that’s cheaper than many family hatchbacks. This deal puts the Italian supercar within the same price bracket as a secondhand Ford Fiesta or a Vauxhall Corsa.
When the GranTurismo first launched, it came with a hefty price tag, setting buyers back a cool £80,000 for the base model and over £100,000 for high-spec versions like the GranTurismo S. Now, just over a decade later, one is available for under 10k – a mind-blowing drop!

The GranTurismo, powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine (built by Ferrari, no less), boasts an impressive 405 horsepower, hitting 0-60 mph in a slick 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph. This is no ordinary secondhand car—it’s a real Italian thoroughbred, known for its sleek design, throaty exhaust note, and head-turning presence on the road.
Sure, running costs and maintenance might be high, with services potentially running into the thousands and insurance not being for the faint-hearted, but for a price like £8,900, can you really argue? It’s practically a supercar on a shoestring. And let’s not forget the badge—a Maserati parked in your driveway will still make your neighbours green with envy.
This particular GranTurismo comes with service history with Maserati, so you know it’s been treated right. It’s even got FRESH NEW TYRES! The seller lists it with one key, full V5 documents, and a LONG MOT until 2025, meaning you won’t need to worry about inspections for quite a while. The ad also confirms it’s HPI clear, and the car reportedly starts and drives fine—a crucial detail for a ride at this price point.
