Early 2000s Mercedes AMG would be a good option for the next car! My dad used to have a 2003 SL55 AMG with the 500hp 5.4 supercharged V8 and it was a beautiful car sounded so nice and drove very well. Or maybe even a CL55 E55 or CLK 55 anything with the M113K engine you won’t regret. You’ve had the 7 series bmw, porsche, audi TT, range rover and now the Maserati. You should definitely try an AMG merc next would go well alongside the cayenne
Gutted, but what a sweet story! Love it. Please consider a CL500, or similar Merc 500 from the mid noughties. Solidly reliable M113 engine, 350hp on a basic tune, 306hp stock, sound incredibly beefy with an exhaust, or straight pipe. Luxury
Take a look at the 1st gen Panamera Turbo. They are very reasonably priced and it’s a beast of a car with 500 hp. The Porsche build quality is several levels up and the driving experience will make you forget about the Maserati in a hurry. If the 911 is a 10/10 in handling, the Panamera is an 8. For a large car, the road handling is superb. 3:26
It was such a great addition to the channel and I’m sure the memory will last forever! I don’t think you can settle for any less than a V8, but maybe a switch to something more 🇩🇪 👀
Gotta be a Phaeton replacement, minimal content on it, ultra luxurious, quirky, could be had with a V10 TDI, W12, V8, V6 TDI or the VR6 from an R32. Seems hugely up your street Joel, and the hunt for a good one would be a journey!
You should team up every now and then. You are two good hosts. You both are good talkers. Looking great. You both have that excitement that translates very well on camera.
What a nice way to make a sale, wish the guy all the best with the car! I think a Bentley is next for you Joel, take Katy on a nice road trip to the alps or Monaco!
The Maserati "is now perfect"?? It's still got peeling buttons all over the dashboard, the headlining is falling down, you don't have all windows working and it has an engine rattle. "Perfect"😬😂
Well, I guess it was a short lived blast. At least you know it will be looked after well from here. Nice for him to have it back in the family. As for what's next. You clearly like comfortable large engined petrol cars. You have a 4 to 5 seater already in the Cayenne. How about a Jaguar XK - from the x150 generation? Plenty of old world charm there to cherish, especially in light of Jaguar now refocussing on different values.
Did he say it was written off? I didn’t remember that. Please no Ramge Rover!!! 🙈 You Tube is drowning in Range Rover content and people defending them whilst going bankrupt. Try something different.
Last August I bought back my Nissan 350z that I sold 12yrs ago. I just by chance saw it was for sale on Autotrader and had to have it back. It wasn't until we agreed the deal that I told him I was a previous owner of it.
Joel - would you ever consider something like an Arnage or older Rolls Royce? I’m 23 and own an 81’ Rolls Royce, having owned it with regular usage for over a year. Any questions on these happy to assist - I think an arnarge in particular would be right up your street - 6.75ltr V8 on the red label
What to replace it with...........it depends what you want/need it for. If you really miss the Maserati, then buy another Maserati, there's plenty on Auto Trader at reasonable price. An older AMG Mercedes is an obvious choice too, but it might end up being constantly compared to the Maserati. If you want something vaguely similar but rarer, older, harder to live with and maintain, then a decently sorted Mk1 Golf GTI is my suggestion. I currently own a V8 Merc CLS and while its an easy car to live with, its (and I can't think of any modern car except perhaps a TVR or Morgan or whatever) just not as 'perfect' and flattering to drive as the Mk1 Golf GTI (I've also owned one of these in the past). Also a Mk1 Golf GTI WILL turn heads and be noticed, in a positive way!
Sad times man although exciting times too. I cant help but want to say get another Range Rover. Just because there's kind of no other drive like it as you'll know. Just will it be reliable, although wheres the fun in playing it safe🤔
Of course it's just a materialistic thing. But really Joel, I'm not joking. If you're going to buy a replacement car, nothing else comes close, except another Quattroporte. It's been very enjoyable watching your content on that car in particular.
Get something American. Dodge Nitro, Mustang, some old school u.s. car maybe? Thirsty and the rest but they've got presence. Also quite rare on uk roads.
Why on earth the comments about a load of unreliable crap, is Range Rovers, they cost a sodding fortune, are always broken down on the motorway, I'm always passing the shite in my Honda CRV, I always say to my wife and laugh!. I love mazeratis, why not a Ghibli diesel, looverly!
Comment what I should replace it with…
It’s got to be a conti GT or a flying spur
E9x M3. I’m bias of course but they’re phenomenal.
Jag XFR :)
Bentley continental gt The first generation
Like your alpine top Joel, I work for the team, good to see some support!
That’s my brother!!! And that use to be my dads car 🥹 thank you Joel
Enjoy it!
You’re too kind! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber 🥲
Your dad will be over the moon
@@Birmingham_racinghe really was!🥹
Boss move, Joel. Reuniting a lost love. Nicely done.
This is a great video Joel mate. All good cars have a story behind them, so that makes this one extra special.

Its been a pleasure watching your Maserati story from the very start Joel.. as for its replacement ? well go on surprise us again !
Loved this one! Of all the cars you’ve had, this is the one I’m most sorry to see you sell 😢
What a nice guy that buyer is
Subhan is a gent
There’s a beauty to this video Joel. Nice one pal.
Congrats on getting it sold. 👏 Replace it with WHATEVER YOU WANT TO within your budget. You are your own man. 👍
What a story, man respect!
2005 CLS 55 AMG, insane comfort, insane performance - do it!
What a great Story,would be great to see it later in the future,cheers guys 👍
Nice humble guy that chap . Joel your a top man for selling it to him
Owner low-key is probably shocked you haven’t fixed a goddamn thing lmao 😂
I loved this video Joel! What a great reunion
Thanks for watching
I hear a lot of Jaguars are going to be available for very little money soon.
Hahahaha
😂🤣too true too 👌
Joel she was one of your better buys buddy. Your range rover was great and I love your cayenne. Enjoyed this video mate. Look forward to more videos.
Especially the Pink ones.
If anything, I think the ‘old’ ones will hold their value better now.
It’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all 🔱 ❤
And it couldn’t have gone to a better home!
Gutted, but what a sweet story! Love it. Please consider a CL500, or similar Merc 500 from the mid noughties. Solidly reliable M113 engine, 350hp on a basic tune, 306hp stock, sound incredibly beefy with an exhaust, or straight pipe. Luxury
Lovely story! I bet some people wouldn’t message old owners back 😂
Very nearly 100k subs what a nice presie for xmas to get that plaque! Keep up the good work mate!🎉

Sad to see it go, but makes me really happy to see where it’s going. As for what to replace it with…easy….GranSport baby!! Haha
It’s been a great car for you but in all honesty, the reliability was never going to last. You did the right thing in letting it go.

W202 C43 AMG , you will love it Joel!
I have always wanted one... drove one. It didn't inspire me in the end
What a nice way to make a sale, wish the guy all the best with the car! I think a Bentley is next for you Joel, take Katy on a nice road trip to the alps or Monaco!
2:53 ‘give away’ brother tried it 😂
Cool beans Joel!! That’s crazy the original owner found you! Get a Jag XKR to replace it? Cheers Kirk
The Maserati "is now perfect"?? It's still got peeling buttons all over the dashboard, the headlining is falling down, you don't have all windows working and it has an engine rattle. "Perfect"😬😂
😂 😂 So true.
I suppose you can take that with a large pinch of salt
I have a jaguar xk 4.2 N/A on 06 plate. Had the exhaust back box deleted sounds like a true British muscle car.
Nice sale Top Man
"... £200, mate. That's my final offer. I won't take it away for anything less...".
Well, I guess it was a short lived blast. At least you know it will be looked after well from here. Nice for him to have it back in the family.

Joel you've done the right thing dude. That sounded incredible though 👌... Now wheres that V8 Turbo cayenne 😉???
Road to 100k miss the Z4 videos 😅 congrats!
Did he say it was written off? I didn’t remember that. Please no Ramge Rover!!! 🙈 You Tube is drowning in Range Rover content and people defending them whilst going bankrupt. Try something different.
The 4.7 GTS...go on...only getting rarer 😂
Last August I bought back my Nissan 350z that I sold 12yrs ago. I just by chance saw it was for sale on Autotrader and had to have it back. It wasn't until we agreed the deal that I told him I was a previous owner of it.
smart
You can’t … but you’d love a GranSport, very underrated
Very sweet and wholesome of the son ! As for you, how about keep it 4 doors and unreliable and get a Mitsubishi Evo or something 😅
Joel - would you ever consider something like an Arnage or older Rolls Royce? I’m 23 and own an 81’ Rolls Royce, having owned it with regular usage for over a year. Any questions on these happy to assist - I think an arnarge in particular would be right up your street - 6.75ltr V8 on the red label
Very much so, constantly looking at 5 grand 70s/80s rollers online 😂
Great story, excellent video. Subbed.
I went for Bentley Continental GT. W12, can pick them up super cheap currently.
The handsome 5 litre Jag saloon XJ, put that exhaust on it and paint it pink then drive it around Miami !
Brilliant!!!
Gutted to see this go! Was the right thing to do though!
Try an old roller or Bentley next. One of our old spirits is actually for sale now and was a great car that.
The quattro porte is one of the he best looking cars of the past 20 years in my view. But it's a maintenance nightmare.
I recognise that Starbucks! I think I heard him depart too 😄
You only replace a Maserati .. with another Maserati
Seems a sweet guy.
Last seen going up the Hagley road at 4.00am clocking 140 mph , with half of West Midlands police chasing it 😂
You did the right thing Joel
Bentley Continental
Cl63 amg!!!!! That would be a good upgrade

I would not sell my Quattroporte - I love it too much! A fantastic car to drive and to look at!
W204 C63 Saloon. Perfect replacement
Sad times man although exciting times too. I cant help but want to say get another Range Rover. Just because there's kind of no other drive like it as you'll know. Just will it be reliable, although wheres the fun in playing it safe🤔
Bmw e46 330i and then add a turbo maybe. That would be bice but its up to you at the end of the day. Sad to see the maserati go i will miss the sound.
Got to be a Jag with the talk about them at the moment
Of course it's just a materialistic thing. But really Joel, I'm not joking. If you're going to buy a replacement car, nothing else comes close, except another Quattroporte. It's been very enjoyable watching your content on that car in particular.
Oh unreal.. I have similar story with my dads old Audi 80.. Best possible stories..
Sad to see it go. Let’s hope the replacement is a Ferrari 360 / 430
Excellent Joel. A Volkswagen phaetom or Audi A8 or Jaguar XJ ?
Small world that's quite a crazy story
Has to be another L322!!!!!
Your garage doesn't have walls
😂😂😂
Or doors
@@Andrew-q2c6dmeans that a Bentley/Rolls will fit in nicely. (Maybe width will be a problem)
Wonderful video 👏🥹
Nearly 100k 👍
Get a Gran Turismo!! I sold mine and still miss it
Get something American. Dodge Nitro, Mustang, some old school u.s. car maybe? Thirsty and the rest but they've got presence. Also quite rare on uk roads.

Gutting indeed but what a way to sell it! You should buy my 335i convertible £8k. Alternatively a Maserati 4200 manual!
Does the heater not work?. What’s with the winter coat.
Maybe he came in the coat. Can you not see Joel in a t shirt?
You were lucky to get rid
How much did you get for it £££ ?
I would go for a E60 M5 or a E63 AMG
But if you also fancy a Japanese masterpiece, Lexus ISF is my choice. Trust me, I own one and I love it!
Joel I’m thinking get a jaguar XJR V8 next. 😉
Trabant or Lada Samara or Jaguar ?
I think I would like a Mass!
The range rover that you really want...
Big up the A331 😂
Your next car has to be an E39 M5 ??
So is the Maserati a cat D?
Another Maserati Quattroporte, that's the only option after a Maserati Quattroporte.
Get an Aston
Where is the Jag?
The time has for a 2012 4.4 tdv8
let’s put you in an s6 or s8 with a v10
There’s a 2003 Maserati gt 4.2 only 69k on marketplace £6750
Porsche cayman 918 2.7 so no borescore issues
Or an Audi S8 V10 !
L322 Range Rover or L320 Range Rover Sport. Run it alongside the Cayenne for a while and see which deserves to stay!
How much did you get for it Joel
I got back what I paid
@ good. On to the next one 👌🏽
Jaguar Type 00💪
Audi S8 5.2 V10 (Or it's S6 sibling), might be one of the few 4 door saloons that can sound better than the Maserati...
