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's sub-Quattroporte sedan spotted testing

Mon, 30 Jul 2012

The spy photogs at CarPix have caught the upcoming small sedan from Maserati to slot under the Quattroporte, rumored to be dubbed Levante, out testing. The spy shots frankly don't tell us much more than that, since the mule is wrapped in an ill-fitting Quattroporte body giving away little more than a shorter wheelbase and smaller brakes.
The Levante, if that's what it's called, will be Maserati's entry into the luxury mid-sized sedan segment to compete with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. Said to arrive late next year, it will have its luxury ducks in a row, supposedly offering a twin-turbo V6, a V8 and a 300-horsepower diesel with 500 pound-feet of torque.
Questions about engines and their provenance remain; the next Quattroporte is getting a Ferrari-sourced supercharged V6 and turbocharged V8, but it is wondered if the Levante's V6 might come from the other side of the Fiat stable, namely Chrysler. No matter where the motors come from, though, they'll be run through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

Maserati to cap output at 75,000 cars

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Maserati appears set to take a page out of corporate sibling Ferrari's playbook with the possibility that it may cap global annual output in the coming years. Ferrari announced in 2013 that it would limit itself to 7,000 vehicles a year to maintain exclusivity, and so far, it has stuck to the plan.
According to an unnamed Maserati executive speaking to Reuters, the Italian luxury car maker wants to cap its sales to 75,000 vehicles a year. However, it's hardly there yet. The company doesn't forecast reaching that production benchmark until 2018.
Dave Sullivan, an auto industry analyst for AutoPacific, thinks that limiting sales could be a smart move for Maserati. "If it is profitable at 75,000 and doesn't require a significant investment in capacity to get there, this appears to be sound," he said to Autoblog via email. "Alfa Romeo is intended to be the volume brand and by capping Maserati, it means that even if you opted to buy the 'entry level' Ghibli, you still have a level of exclusivity."

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.
