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.

Maserati Levante SUV may be built in Italy after all

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

In July Fiat halted its investments in Italy, putting on hold plans for the Maserati Levante SUV to be built at the automaker's flagship factory in Turin. But Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, whose company owns Maserati, met with unions on Wednesday, and he may announce plans to move forward with production of the SUV at the Mirafiori factory if the CEO and the unions reach an agreement, Bloomberg reports.
Marchionne is reportedly about ready to build new cars at Fiat's largest and oldest factory, on the grounds that 5,300 workers accept extended temporary layoffs through most of next year in a slowing European auto market. If unions don't accept the deal, it's not clear whether Fiat would still consider building the Levante at Mirafiori or not.
The Levante, Maserati's first SUV, is based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee platform, and we reported two years ago that it would be built in Detroit next to its Jeep cousin. Obviously those plans have been altered considerably in the intervening period of time.

Maserati Ghibli overtakes Levante, headed for Shanghai?

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

While earlier reports indicated that the next Maserati product out of the gate would be the Levante SUV, Motor Trend is now reporting that the Audi A7-shaped Ghibli has cut in line. Word is that we may see the new Ghibli as early as the Shanghai Motor Show in April.
Citing unnamed sources, MT predicts that the minds at Maserati now see a more pressing need to fight off the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series than to go after luxury utes. However, if our spy shots of Ghibli prototypes are anything to go on, it's also likely that the sub-Quattroporte Maser won't be a traditional sedan. The car above's long nose, low roof and brief, sloping rear deck all bring to mind Audi's lovely A7, Meaning the Ghibli may fall into the always murky four-door-coupe/luxury hatchback genre.
Bi-turbocharged iterations of both a V6 and a V8 should make up the early powertrain choices for the Maserati, meaning the top-spec Ghibli should have loads of shove to match its promised good looks.

Maserati MC12 GT1 looks, sounds great storming VIR

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Maserati has been celebrating its 100th anniversary all year, but recent visitors to Virginia International Raceway might have gotten to see one of the coolest highlights of the whole centenary. The brand took its already amazing MC12 GT1 racer and painted it up to commemorate its 100th birthday, dubbing the model Maserati MC12 GT1 Centenario. That would be neat enough, but the spectators at VIR actually got to watch and listen to this special edition racecar lap the track with its spectacular exhaust note singing a fantastic tune.
It's rather rare to see these beastly V12 racers on track in the US these days, but they were quite successful in FIA GT1 competition in Europe several years ago. The sound that they make perfectly matches those purposeful, low-slung looks. Switch this video into HD and turn up the speakers to experience a look at this fantastic racecar.
