Up for sale is my wife's beloved Spyder. This is her third such car since 2004. She has owned it as her daily driver since 2008. We purchased it used from a dealer with 59K miles on it, so I do not know anything about it prior to that time. We had very few mechanical issues over our ownership, but she drives approximately 40 miles each way to work and has put some miles on it. She has purchased another Spyder (now her fourth) with lower miles, so this is the only cause for our selling this car at this time. 

The title is clean with a clear CARFAX report. The car was in a minor traffic accident years ago while we owned it. A woman bumped us in stop and go city traffic and her front license plate frame punctured the rear bumper cover but did not compress any underlying structures. The only damage was cosmetic: we had the rear bumper cover replaced. Total cost to fix was under $700. Repaired by insurance company supervised shop. The original transmission failed last year, so the current transmission has only approximately 80K miles on it. It was dealer installed as a used unit in 2013.

All options, accessories, and components work as designed on the vehicle at this time, though the car will be sold as is and no warranty is expressed or implied by the information here. In short, if it has a button, it operates, including: Power Windows/Locks, Door/Alarm Remotes, Power Top, Factory CD, Interior and Exterior Lighting, Power Outlets, and all Controls. Rear defroster is the lone exception here. No check engine lights or other sensor issues are known. The top does not leak, save for in high pressure car washes as is typical of Eclipse Spyders of all model years.

Very clean daily driver with the following minor cosmetic issues:

Paint: No delamination or oxidation.Small section of hood and  fenders have small areas of Duplicolor paint to hide deeper road rash, but no rust or bubbling present. Several sanding marks in preparation for repaint due to normal road wear. Wife bought new car in stead, so I will sell this car rather than continue to restore it. Needs only clear coat respray to remove sanding marks. Most marks disappear with good hand waxing. Chose to disclose marks rather than mask them with wax in the name of full disclosure. All paint issues can be resolved with TLC without the need to spray whole body, but if we kept it, we planned on doing so anyway, thus the present condition. Minor door dings along passenger side, all but one are smaller than a dime. The one larger is about three inches long. All will pop out without the need for paint using a service like Pop-A-Dent. One chip (half inch) under driver door from rock needs filling.

Interior: Factory leather from another car of same vintage. This car came with a cloth interior from the factory. Missing Driver Seat Lumbar Lever. Thus car has never been smoked in, however, since the seats came form another vehicle, there is a solitary cigarette (?) mark in the back, driver-side seat cushion. Had the seats three days before I noticed it. Very small and in inconspicuous location. Passenger side door vinyl has a small tear which can be colored to camouflage or repaired using vinyl kit. Both are smaller than a pencil in diameter. The rear interior panels especially have scuffs from kids getting in and out over the years, but none are cracked or punctured.  Both door thresholds are scuffed and should be replaced, but are serviceable left as are.

Wheels: Several scratches in factory alloy wheels.

Single known unresolved mechanical issue: Rear window defroster does not heat.

New parts (Replaced this summer): AC Compressor and Drier, AC Control Panel, Blower Motor Resistor, Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Drive Belts, Idler Pulley, Front Sway Bar Links, Air Filter, Wiper Blades, Headlamps.

Newer parts (Replaced last summer): Timing belt and Tensioner, Water Pump, Spark Plugs/Wires, Tires, Brakes (Calipers, Pads, Shoes), Interior Carpet/Padding, Oxygen Sensor, Battery. 

Please feel free to ask any questions needed to help you bid with confidence. Remember, this was my wife's car which we counted on to get her over 80 miles a day round trip and never lost sleep worrying about it leaving her stuck. Very sound throughout. This is not an auction car, or one someone is selling to make a profit with. We believe this car has many more reliable miles left in her. If you want a fun, head-turning car to drive on a daily basis, this is your best bet! I have set a very low reserve for this auction given the overall clean condition of the vehicle. I expect to sell this car during this listing, so I respectfully reserve the right to end the listing early if I sell it locally.

Leno profiles Pebble Beach-winning 1956 Maserati

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

We enjoy it when Jay Leno and his web show, Jay Leno's Garage, take a look at new, modern cars. When the comedian gets his paws on a proper classic, though, he's at his best. Leno is able to display an impressive breadth of knowledge about even obscure models, and that's no different here, as the winner of its class at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a 1956 Maserati A6G-2000 Allemano rolls into the garage.
Part of the Maserati A6 family, this A6G is one of just 21 cars produced with coachwork by Carrozzeria Allemano, making it one of the rarer cars to grace Jay Leno's Garage. It's powered by a 2.0-liter inline-six, and, as Leno points out, is far more of a road car than the race-oriented Maseratis of the day.
Scroll down for the latest episode from Jay Leno's Garage on this fully restored 1956 Maserati.

Maserati Levante Hybrid gets four-cylinder and 48-volt technology

Mon, Apr 19 2021

Maserati is keeping its promise of adding more electrified options to its lineup. Shortly after electrifying the Ghibli, it stuffed the turbo-electric powertrain in the Levante to create its second series-produced hybrid model. Presented at the 2021 Shanghai auto show, the Levante Hybrid is powered by a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The system's total output checks in at 330 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, figures on par with the Ghibli Hybrid's, and it spins the four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip rear differential. Maserati quotes a six-second sprint from zero to 60 mph, a number that puts the Hybrid about on par with the base model, and a top speed of over 150 mph. While the Levante's hybrid technology does not unlock electric-only driving range, it's much lighter than a comparable plug-in hybrid system, which would require a bigger and heavier battery pack. In turn, this solution gives the Hybrid better weight distribution than the V6-powered model. It's more agile to drive, according to Maserati. It takes a well-trained eye to tell the Levante Hybrid apart from the non-electrified model. Car-spotters should look for light blue accents on the fender-mounted air vents, on the brake calipers, and on the C-pillar emblems. Inside, the same shade of blue is found in the stitching that's on the seats, on the door panels, and on the dashboard. Maserati told Autoblog that, like the Ghibli Hybrid, the Levante Hybrid will not be sold in the United States. Sales in several overseas markets will start before the end of 2021, though pricing and availability haven't been announced yet. While we're not getting Maserati's first electrified SUV, it gives us a valuable look at how the Italian company plans to spread electrification across its range without completely neutering the DNA that characterizes it. That's significant insight, because one of the next electrified Maserati models will be a version of the MC12 supercar. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
