This Italian Beauty runs like a race horse and gets a lot of attention. The lines of the car and the exhaust note are simply hypnotic! The F1 system shifts flawlessly and is just a blast to drive. Life begins when you press the blue Start button! The Brembo brakes will prepare you for any turn and the 400hp motor will rocket you out of it. The heated sport seats will keep you locked in place as you whip this car through turns. The smooth V8 will throw you against the seat...be ready when you step on the gas pedal!

A word about maintenance:

As any educated purchaser of Italian cars knows, maintenance is key to these vehicles. We have the records to prove we have maintained the car! (Before purchasing any exotic car, always ask to see the maintenance records!) This 2005 Maserati Gran Sport has been expertly maintained and just had a major service completed this month by Exotic Car Specialties of VA. (Feel free to search the Maserati Life forum to find out more about Josh and the crew at ECS of VA - They are excellent mechanics.) The valve cover gaskets (including spark plug seals and Variator Solenoids have been replaced as one of the valve cover gaskets was just starting to leak oil. This job alone is over $1,700. A major service on it just completed this month was over $1,300. The car is ready for a great driving season and will only need a minor service next!

Why we are selling the Gran Sport:

We had purchased the car a few years ago from Ferrari & Maserati of Washington. The car, as truly awesome as it is, has become a garage queen and my schedule regretfully does not give me time to drive it much anymore. We have never taken the car out in poor weather conditions.

Aftermarket options & Misc. Items:

The car does have aftermarket window tint and a clear bra on it. Dealers today are charging around $1,500 to put a clear bra on one of these cars. After seeing how well bugs clean up off the clear bra and the lack of chips in the paint because of it, I have become a believer in the clear bra. It has done an excellent job protecting the front of the car. We also have all of the keys (including the valet key) and the books to go with the car.

Here are the things I think you should know in the interest of full disclosure:

The front license plate holder did break on a low dip in the road. There were NO scratches on the bumper as the license plate holder took the hit. There is also a small dent on top of the right fender that can only be seen from certain angles. The front tires are a little choppy as there was a delay from when I put them on to when I had the car aligned (the alignment is good now.) There is still a lot of tread on the tires, but they are a little noisy. The window tint is inline with Virginia state law (50% on the front doors and 35% on the back windows). You may need to change the tint depending on your state's laws. There is a small scratch on the left headlight where something had flown up on the highway and scraped the lens. The lens is not cracked and few people even notice the scratch. Finally, there are no cup holders in the car thus making Starbuck's runs a little challenging. Other than those things, everything else on the car is in excellent condition. I am happy to send more pictures of specific things if you like.

Shipping and Payment:

Shipping is fully the responsibility of the buyer. The car will be available for shipping once full payment has been received and funds have cleared. We will deliver the car anywhere within 50 miles of Shenandoah County, Virginia for free if needed for shipping. We do recommend using an enclosed shipping carrier to protect the vehicle. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction closing and full payment is due within 7 calendar days of the auction closing. If full payment is not received within 7 calendar days after the auction closes, the buyer forfeits the deposit. The car currently has a lien on it. Therefore, it will take me a few weeks to get you the title.

1967 Maserati Ghibli puts the grand in grand tourer

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Motor Tend technical director Frank Markus owns a 1967 Maserati Ghibli, bought back in the early 2000s when "they could be had for Camry money" - now Hagerty values them anywhere from $63,000 to $107,000. The grand tourer designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro outsold the more powerful and less expensive Ferrari 365 Daytona, and the more powerful and more expensive Lamborghini Miura.
Carlos Lago, host of the magazine's Ignition video series, figures it's because of the Ghibli's long-haul comfort and the tractability of its 4.7-liter V8 with 330-horsepower and 330 pound-feet accessed with a five-speed manual, even though he cites the powertrain and suspension as being behind the times.
There's no arguing about the Ghibli's sound, though. You can get several ears-full of it, as well as Lagos' and Markus' thoughts on the car, in the video above.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte to get twin-turbo V6

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

As we wait for the Detroit Auto Show to get our up-close and in-depth look at the redesigned 2014 Maserati Quattroporte, some details are just starting to emerge about the car's powertrain, but nothing is official just yet. Autocar has posted a first drive of the new Quattroporte, finally spilling the beans about what motivates this sporty and luxurious sedan.
We already knew that the 2014 Quattroporte will offer two engines - a V6 and V8 - but what we didn't know is that both engines will get a pair of turbochargers and direct injection. Previously, we speculated that the smaller V6 would be supercharged, but this 3.0-liter V6 will get turbos instead helping it produce an estimated 410 horsepower. As for the larger 3.8-liter V8, this engine is said to produce 530 horsepower (confirming our previous report) to go with 479 pound-feet of torque; performance specs for the V8 include a top speed of 191 miles per hour and a 0-60 mph time of well under five seconds.
All cars will have a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive will be optional allowing for all of the engine power sent to the rear wheel during normal driving and a full 50/50 split between front and rear axles when needed. As we suspected, the 2014 Quattroporte has grown in size to better compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Maserati Ghibli gets smashed on its way to Top Safety Pick rating [w/video]

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has crash-tested the 2014 Maserati Ghibli, and the Italian luxury sedan scored has well enough to earn the institute's Top Safety Pick rating. The model netted "Good" marks - the IIHS' highest rating - in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats tests.
The new Maserati is equipped seven airbags and features strategic use of hot-formed steel to optimize vehicle strength for safety and aluminum to lower weight for better driving performance. While it still pains us to see two new Maseratis smashed to smithereens (watch the videos below), we imagine the company's well-heeled prospective owners will feel better about their $65,600+ purchases knowing that they aced the tests.
Head on below to see crash test videos from both the IIHS and Europe's NCAP, as well as for Maserati's official release, which covers some of the safety engineering that has gone into its new entry-level sedan.
