No reserve 2006 Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT + many upgrades

I am selling my baby, I have owned this car for 3.5 years and still love every time I get behind the wheel.  I am not a high end used car dealer trying to make a buck, I am an individual who is passionate about his cars.  I am selling to get another Maserati.  The pictures tell the story of the meticulously maintained vehicle.   This car has never been driven in the rain or snow and has never been through a commercial car wash. Hand washed only! Consequently no swirl marks, anyone who has had a black car can appreciate.  This car has all of the luxury of the executive GT model, heated/ventilated/massage seats, power rear seats, power window shade…..ect, but with performance upgrades that outperforms the Sport GT. (More HP, Faster shifts, Louder exhaust than the sport GT)

This car will have more miles than is shown here as I still drive this vehicle 3-4 days/week.

 

-Brand new clutch

-All 30K and 50K services performed by certified dealer

-All oil changes by certified dealer

-Tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (substantially outperforms the OEM Pirellis)  

 

UPGRADES:

$8k invested in performance upgrades puts this QTP near 500 HP

·        High Flow air filter - $200

·        High Power ECM Performance Chip - $2000 

·        Drive by wire enhancement module - $1300 (this is a must for this car, not only improves the shifting speeds dramatically but extends the clutch life, this car got 50,000 miles on the original clutch. Most of these cars get 15-20K per clutch)

·        Larini Exhaust system

-         Mufflers - $3500

-         X-Pipe - $850

-         The OEM exhaust is very restrictive and quiet, the only way to appreciate the sound on this car is watch the video and listen… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IrF7CqeUE8&feature=youtu.be

 

$4,300 invested in a professionally installed upgraded electronics to make this Maserati have all of the features that new vehicles have:

Kenwood unit that controls and connects to the factory audio system that features

·        Bluetooth phone connectivity

·        I-pod connection

·        Garmin navigation (original OEM navigation is completely useless)

·        Satellite radio

·        Head unit with touch screen and run through the OEM sound system

·        DVD player

 

This car is titled as a lemon law car.  The First owner turned in the car at 23K miles after and three years on the lemon law for an electronic issue.(waited three years ?????)  Most of the electrical system was replaced and I purchased the car.  I have never had any issues with the car, again I am purchasing another Maserati, if I had problems I wouldn’t be interested in another Maserati.  I am also selling this vehicle locally and may end the auction early if sold prior to the end of the auction.

Maserati electrified the new Grecale SUV, and it's the top performer

Thu, Apr 20 2023

Maserati is going electric, first with the announcement of the GranTurismo Folgore, its first electrified performance car, and now with the reveal of the Grecale Folgore electric SUV. The brand announced the vehicle at the Shanghai Auto Show this week, along with the promise that all its models would offer electric options by 2025. The 550-horsepower electric SUV gets a dual-motor powertrain, which delivers 605 pound-feet of torque, and standard all-wheel drive. Maserati promises a range of around 311 miles (500km) and a top speed of 137 mph. Compare that with the gas-powered Grecale Modena’s 325 horsepower, and itÂ’s clear this will be the performance halo of the SUV line. Though electric, the Grecale Folgore retains MaseratiÂ’s signature grille look and trident logo up front. ItÂ’s a more traditional presentation than the weird closed-off nose many EVs carry, and the automaker left its iconic three-porthole styling element on the front fenders. Wheel sizes range from 19 to 21 inches, depending on the market, and the SUV gets gloss-black exterior trim. Maserati installed a 12.3-inch touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital gauge cluster and said that many of the Grecale FolgoreÂ’s controls have gone digital in the infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto join a few Chinese-market apps like WeChat and Baidu CarLife, and the Maserati digital assistant system has been updated for the electric SUV. Grecale Folgore buyers can work with Maserati on home or public charging solutions, including facilitating charging across Europe and China. The automaker can facilitate home charging installation, including shipping a wallbox charger to buyersÂ’ homes or offices. The SUV itself comes with 400-volt electric architecture, as well as battery preconditioning and temperature management to ensure the fastest charging. We donÂ’t have pricing or a U.S. release date for the new SUV, but Maserati talked more about its first EV, the GranTurismo Folgore, at the show. The car features more than 750 horsepower at the wheels and an 800-volt electrical system for ultra-fast charging. Gas versions of the car are available with up to 542 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6. Green Auto Shanghai Maserati Electric

Pete Grady retiring from Chrysler, Maserati

Mon, Dec 8 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is about to lose one of its top executives as the president of Maserati North America, Pete Grady, has announced his retirement. A lifelong automotive industry exec, Grady joined the American Motors Corporation back in 1984 after graduating from John Carroll University in his native Ohio. After AMC was bought out by Chrysler, Grady started rising through the ranks under the Pentastar as a sales manager. He was named vice president of network development and fleet operations in 2009 and was shortly thereafter put in charge of the Chrysler Group's dealer network. He continued to hold that position when he was named last year as the top man at Maserati North America. Grady will continue to hold responsibility for Chrysler's dealer network until his retirement takes effect on March 31, 2015. His position as head of Maserati's American office, however, will pass to the Trident marque's global sales chief Christian Gobber, who will hand off responsibility for the Chinese region to Mirko Bordiga but maintain his global portfolio. CHANGES AT THE TOP IN MASERATI NORTH AMERICA AND MASERATI CHINA Monday, 8 December 2014 – Effective January 1st, 2015, Christian Gobber will be assigned responsibility for Maserati North America, replacing Pete Grady, who has announced his intent to retire effective March 31st, 2015. Christian Gobber will maintain his responsibility for Maserati Global Sales. Effective January 1st, 2015, Mirko Bordiga will join Maserati and will be assigned responsibility for Maserati China, replacing Christian Gobber. Maserati further strengthens its sales and commercial structure in the two main markets for the Trident brand. Maserati CEO Harald Wester thanks Pete Grady for his dedication and achievements at the helm of Maserati in North America, and wishes all the best to Christian Gobber and Mirko Bordiga in their new positions. ### Chrysler Group's Grady to Retire December 5, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler Group today announced that Peter Grady has stated his intention to retire, effective March 31, 2015. In the interim, Grady will retain his current responsibilities as Vice President Dealer Network Development and continue as a member of the Company's NAFTA Leadership Team.

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears

Mon, 20 May 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.
