Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Spyder VR4 with 56,500 miles. 

Vehicle History

I purchased vehicle 2 years ago and drove 2,300 miles on an awsome trip down I10 from Arizona to Florida.  The auto was owned by a gentleman in his 60's, and I am in my 50's.  It appears the vehicle has spent most of its life in the low humidity of Arizona.  Currently it is in a dehumidified garage in Florida.  Of the 56,500 miles, I have put on 14,000 in the last two years.  The car has no damage history. The unique aspect of this vehicle is it's low milage coupled with being a daily driver over the past two years. Recently I have found and purchased a 1997 VR4 with 28,500 miles locally.  Being the 1997 VR4 makes 3 3000gt's at the house, thought it might be a good idea to skinny down to two.    

Vehicle Condition

Exterior    The pictures taken we on 2/25/2013 and tell the story.  Most of the paint is original paint and although in near pristine condition, a close inspection will reveal scratches and some minor imperfections.  I had the trunk lid and convertible top repainted as the clear coat was showing its age.  The brand new paint and old look identical. 

Intererior    This is the origianl interior. The seats have some marks, as you can see in the picture, less than I would expect with a car of this age/miles.  Suprisingly the leading edge of the drivers seat (as you enter from the door) do not have the typical wear marks.

Mechanical     "Bone Stock" All maintenance is up to and ahead of date.  A full 60,000 mile maintenance is complete, including but not limited to timing belt, water pump, transmission inspection and flush, transfer case inspection, differential inspection.   New tires at 48,500 miles and the VR4 rims were cleaned and resealed so the tires will hold their air The tires appear to have 75% of its tread left.  Every button switch light system works on this car (well except one button)  The radio has two volume buttons one on the steering wheel and one  twist on/off button on the face of the radio.  The on off part works, but the twist part does change the volume, just never sure to what.  The steering wheel buttons work fine.  In 1995 and 1996 the radio has an AUX input which will accept Ipods/phone outputs.  Turbos sing like they should, and are original just like the rest of the car.  The trick to keeping your turbos happy and healthy is to allow the engine to cool (idle) before shut down.  The top works perfect.  Both hydrolic pumps which power the trunk and retractible hard top have had a complete flush and fresh hydrolic oil in July of 2012.  The only modification that has been done to this vehicle is the stock air cleaner has been replaced with a K&N air cleaner - Original air cleaner comes with car.

Pro's & Con's

Pro

The vehicle had an extremly limited production run in 1995/1996 consequntly few are available.  Take into account this vehicle is original with low miles makes it a collectors car.  The Spyders (turbos and NA too) have been showing some appreciation in value on the market over the past few years.

This car gets phographed every 2000 miles or so (that I am aware of).    This is the only 3000GT (of the 4 I have owned) which gets photographed. It is a conversation piece wherever you go. You will be asked questions about it! 

Currently in service as a daily driver, ready to go cross county

Low miles, Original, Mechanicaly up to date, No damage history, Never modded (except K&N air filter) - Original comes with the car for turning back to 100% stock.

2015 Maserati Ghibli gets the lightest of updates [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Maserati continued its centennial celebration this week with a lightly updated version of the 2015 Ghibli at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The sedan is enhanced with navigation and Bluetooth features, which are now standard. Reinforcing that this is a light refresh, Maserati gave the brake calipers a new finish, and contrasted stitching is also added on the Ghibli and Ghibli SQ4 models.
Maserati is also throwing in a free three-month "all-access" subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio for the Ghibli, Quattroporte and GranTurismo.

Maserati returns to Indianapolis to commemorate historic win

Tue, 27 May 2014

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, folks, and you know what that means: racing. There was the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula One fans, and back Stateside there was the Indianapolis 500. You might expect to see a name like Maserati pop up at the former more than the latter, but that wasn't always the case.
These days its all about Dallara chassis powered by Chevy or Honda, but over the course of a century there have been plenty of foreign automakers that have won the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. McLaren won it twice in the 1970s, Mercedes and Peugoet won during the race's pre-WWI infancy, and in between them Boyle Racing won it two years in a row with a Maserati chassis and engine.
The car was the Maserati 8CTF "Boyle Special," and its first win came 75 years ago. So to mark the occasion (as well as Maserati's 100th anniversary), the car was brought back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a revival lap. Unfortunately Wilbur Shaw, who won the Indy 500 three times (twice in the Maserati) and went on to be president of the speedway, died in a plane crash the day before his 52nd birthday in 1954. So in his place fellow three-time winner Johnny Rutherford took the wheel of the 8CTF in front of the gathered crowds.

Leak confirms Maserati product plans, five new models

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

It isn't a secret that Maserati is planning a product expansion in an attempt sell 50,000 units annually by 2015, but the automaker hasn't officially announced just how it plans to do so. Yes, we've seen (and driven) the 2014 Quattroporte, checked out spy shots for the smaller Ghibli sedan and Maserati even confirmed the Levante name for its SUV, but a leaked document reported by CarScoop could shed some light on how the Italian automaker intends on carrying out its rapid growth.
According to the image, the new Ghibli and Levante models will considerably lower the entry price point for the Maserati brand with the sedan having a price range from around $72,000 up to just over the $100,000 mark, with the SUV starting at close to $80,000 and topping out at almost $200,000. It also looks like the GranTurismo and GranCabrio will be getting redesigned in the near future at which point the new Gran Sport model will be added to the mix - otherwise known as the which often-rumored sports car with which Maserati will do battle with the Porsche 911.
