1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs Spyder Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:159720
Location:

Boaz, Alabama, United States

Boaz, Alabama, United States

 Car has been my daily driver for a while.  I will tell you what I know about it (I'm not a mechanic).

- I have kept the oil changed, changed the plugs recently.  Car starts first time, every time, runs like a top and has never failed me.

- It is fun to drive, and gets a look now and then.  Spring and summer days with the top down are the best.

- I am selling it because I have a new baby and with the four of us now, this car is a bit small.   I had to upsize.

The Good:

As I said, it starts up every time. 
It gets good gas mileage, up to 30 HWY if driven gently.
Has a very good set of tires.
A/C works great, even in the Alabama heat.
I have never had a mechanical issue with the car.
It is GREAT fun to drive.

The Bad:

The car has a small oil leak somewhere.  I put in a quart every three weeks or so, no biggie.
The convertible top motor is disabled.  I don't know if it's been disconnected or what.  The switch works, because the windows roll down automatically when you push it.  It's very easy to lower/raise by hand, so I just did that.  I didn't feel a need to get it looked at.
The driver's door handle was broken by an oil change "specialist", (thanks Wal-Mart).  I have a replacement handle that I have yet to put on.  If I don't get it on before sale, I will include it with the vehicle.

Vehicle sold "AS-IS" with no warranty implied.

Maserati offers peek into Alfieri concept's design

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

This year marks Maserati's hundredth anniversary, which means we'll be spending the rest of 2014 talking about all the company's planned celebrations. The Alfieri Concept, shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, though, is quite possibly the most noteworthy part of the brand's centennial.
Named after one of the company's founder, Alfieri Maserati, the coupe is a striking piece of design, although it did manage to fall short of earning a spot on our editors' choice list for the Geneva show (we blame this more on the number of exciting products at the show rather than any shortcoming of the showcar).
In this video, Maserati Centro Stile designers take us through the process of penning the Alfieri, from the car it was inspired by, on to the actual process of designing the car. Fans of automotive design won't want to miss this video. Take a look below.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.

Maserati rapidly expanding dealer network

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

With the new Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans out on the market, and the new Levante crossover and Alfieri coupe on their way, Maserati is making serious headway towards revitalizing its lineup. Now all it needs in order to reach its ambitious sales targets is to expand the network of dealers where they're to be sold. And according to Maserati chief Harald Wester in speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, that's exactly what it has in store.
At the end of last year, Maserati had 79 dealerships across the United States. It has already boosted that number to 100 so far this year, but before 2014 is over, it plans to open another 20 to bring the total up to (carry the two, divide by the square-root of Pi)... 120 showrooms.
Globally speaking, Maserati reportedly closed 2012 with around 220-230 dealers around the world, and currently has about 355, but aims to close 2015 with a worldwide network of 450 dealers, representing a doubling of its network in two years' time. Having more than a quarter of those in the US alone is testament to how seriously Maserati takes the American market.
