I have owned 4 Maseratis. 2 Biturbos and 2 Series III Quattroportes. Only the 84 Biturbo was a piece of utter garbage. The 87 Biturbo Si was a blast! It was remarkably fast. The 4-portes were among the most reliable cars I have owned. As a matter of fact, I am in negotiations now to aquire another Quattroporte. I love them that much. The initial Biturbos were junk, but don't forget about the Bora, Ghibli, Mistral, A6G series and many, many other facinating cars that Maserati made.

The new Maserati,,,,,It's not a Ferrari but with 400 hp and F1 shifter for around 100k, I say place your order and have something new for people to talk about..
Keep in mind, the 456 is a v12 (expensive to maintain) and you can get a 95 for more than 100k |

I personally would wait until I heard more owner reports on the Maserati. Especially on reliability, etc.
If you can wait a bit longer until any wait lists are emptied, you might save money on a new Maserati. |

This is the story :I am in the market for a GT 2+2 of course the 456M GTA was my first choice. Since the prices are still holding up in the 170k range for a clean 2 years old with 5000 mi.I am wondering if I am not better off waiting for September and get a brand new Maserati Coupe with the F1 type transmission and that brand new leather smell for around 100K ? I know they got to be 2 totally different cars but maybe someone can see my point and advise. |
