    I am considering the purchase of a 2002ish Maserati Cambiocorsa and I love the car in every way, except one: the styling is not nearly aggressive enough for the car. Has anyone seen a body kit for them that gives it a little more bark to go with it's bite?

    I like what I see of the attached one from the sides, but I can't really tell what's been done to the front end. Anyone have any more information on it?

    Thanks,
    future Maserati owner

    Instead of buying a Coupe, perhaps a Gransport would be better for your needs.

    Anyone know of some Maserati classifieds where I can try and find one for the right price. The Gransport (from what I've seen) may be a bit more a jump from the Cambiocorsa than I can handle. Anyone seen any higher mileage ones for sale?

    Try the usual sources like cars.com and autorader.com.

    The Gransport is more expensive than the Coupe but the biggest difference in price comes from the later model years. A higher mileage GS should run between $55K-$65K. For a similar year Coupe, you should expect to pay $50K-$55K. Of course an early year Coupe with high mileage may sell for $35K. However, the early year Coupes may have some issues and don't really compare. Don't get caught up comparing prices between an early year Coupe and a late model GranSport.

    Is it truly worth it?

    This will be a daily driver and probably between 10-20k miles a year, I have had multiple sports cars and I'm used to their quirks but this will be my first time to step out of the US/German made market.

    Yes, it was done by a tuner shop up there, I found it on their website.

    Funny, I thought so based on those homes in the background, and I thought the area code on the sign is 416. It looks just like my hometown in Niagara, I grew up in little brick houses like those.

    In my opinion, the best buy available right now in a Maserati is a 2004-2005 Coupe with the cambiocorsa (F1) transmission. An '04 with moderate miles (15K-20K) can run from the high $30Ks for an undesirable color to the mid $40Ks for a desirable color. In my opinion, the very minor updates on the GranSport model just aren't worth the price premium.

    When it come to Coupes, A number of hardware and software updates from 2002 to 2004 make the '04s and newer much more desirable. If you must buy an early model to get into your price range, look into getting a standard stick shift transmission instead of the cambiocorsa unit. There were lots of clutch/pump/relay issues with '02/'03 cc transmissions.

    Also, the cc transmission may be problematic for a daily driver if you run into traffic with any amount of regularity. Awesome cars but they can be a real drag to drive in traffic. Just my 2 cents.
