    Hello friends,

    Looking to replace my daily driver with a G5 QP. Can't decide between S vs GT S.

    Is the GT S that much more fun/capable?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you! I'll post my findings on this thread when I have enough time with the car.

    Cheers

    Okay, I'm doubting I'll get a response but will try anyway. If I buy the rear climate control unit, is that a plug and play for a 12' QP?

    Cheers

    Thanks and ridiculously cheap too. MSRP was 145K (I have the window sticker) -

    car is a 2012 (second to last year of it's 11 year run) had 28K miles and talked them down to 24K - sparkling clean title and recent major service, done and purchased at an official Maserati dealership.

    Hoping some of the bugs/quirks were ironed out by this 10th year of production.

    Bargain if you ask me, especially if you have connections to Maserati/Ferrari mechanics/experts.

    :)

    That's a steal for a car like that - my wife has a 2009 GTS with an Ferrari F1 paddle shift, Ferrari suspension, Ferrari motor perfect shape and its not worth a whole bunch - only 300 came to the US. A lot of Maserati owners don't know they exist

    Gorgeous!! Also, with Ferrari publically confirming no more engines for Maserati soon, get em while you can.

    Yes, the reliability is not like Toyota, but F136s from what I've seen is bulletproof. As Enzo said, buy em for the engine, consider the car as free.
