Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Spyder VR4 with 56,500 miles. Wife and I took it out this weekend to West Palm Beach FL and back, car is running awesome!
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. I don't smoke, and the prior owner Ron did not smoke. The vehicle while in my possesiton has never been smoked in, the plastic ashtray does not have any burn marks or ashes the vehicle interior appearnce and fragrance is consistant with a vehicle which has never been smoked in.
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, fuel filter, ICV, Fuel regulator - all the little stuff which will begin to cause issues. 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.
This car will not be what you expect. I have beent he driver of this car for two years and have fixed and corrected any all issues to give to you a dream to drive.
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. Would it be nice to get your new toy and fly in to Florida and go on a cross country drive to take her home? She is ready fo the mission.
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.
Stored in low humidity Arizona and a dehumidified garage, extremly rust free undercarrige. - Don't underestimate the power of low humidity and its effect on corrosion as the vehicle ages. This vehicle extremely is well perserved.
ESC feature - Tour and Sport Suspension option - on some 95's and not on others, this one has it.
Florida title is in my hand
NO RESERVE this is a live auction!

Maserati rapidly expanding dealer network
Mon, 13 Oct 2014With the new Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans out on the market, and the new Levante crossover and Alfieri coupe on their way, Maserati is making serious headway towards revitalizing its lineup. Now all it needs in order to reach its ambitious sales targets is to expand the network of dealers where they're to be sold. And according to Maserati chief Harald Wester in speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, that's exactly what it has in store.
At the end of last year, Maserati had 79 dealerships across the United States. It has already boosted that number to 100 so far this year, but before 2014 is over, it plans to open another 20 to bring the total up to (carry the two, divide by the square-root of Pi)... 120 showrooms.
Globally speaking, Maserati reportedly closed 2012 with around 220-230 dealers around the world, and currently has about 355, but aims to close 2015 with a worldwide network of 450 dealers, representing a doubling of its network in two years' time. Having more than a quarter of those in the US alone is testament to how seriously Maserati takes the American market.
Stirling Moss-crashed 1956 Maserati 450S to be auctioned in Monaco
Sun, 06 Apr 2014RM Auctions has some very special and expensive Italian sportscars of the 50s and 60s consigned for its auction in Monaco on May 10, but the one that currently carries the highest estimated value at between 4 and 5.5 million euros ($5.5 - $7.5 million) is a 1956 Maserati 450S with some very interesting provenance.
The Maserati started its life as a six-cylinder 350S that Stirling Moss drove in the 1956 Mille Miglia race. Unfortunately, the brakes failed, and it crashed into a tree and nearly into a ravine. Moss and his co-driver weren't injured, but the car was kaputt.
Maserati repaired it and used the chassis as a test mule for its new 5.7-liter V8 racecar called the 450S. It featured an extended wheelbase to fit the larger engine and a new body with a single seat. The racer hit the track again at the hands of Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1957 Buenos Aires 1000 KM but retired with transmission issues. Later that season, it crashed again at the 1957 Mille Miglia at the hands of driver Jean Behra. After that, the car sat around the workshop until it was sold without an engine in 1965.
Maserati updates Quattroporte, Ghibli for 2015 at LA Auto Show
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Maserati won't be showcasing any all-new products at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have anything to celebrate. It is, after all, the marque's centenary this year, and in 2014 has achieved the best sales it's ever racked up in the US market.
The most noteworthy Trident model to be displayed in LA next week will be the revised Quattroporte, the S Q4 and GTS trims of which are treated to some enhancements for the 2015 model year. The top-spec Quattroporte GTS in particular "benefits from a sportier and aggressive appearance," highlighted by color-matched lower bodywork, an updated emblem, red accents on the wheels and upgraded equipment inside, including red leather upholstery, contrast stitching, piano black trim and integrated wifi.
For 2015, the smaller Ghibli sedan also gets standard navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a new finish for the brake calipers. Maserati will also showcase the GranTurismo MC Centennial Editions, as well as the Alfieri concept originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show (new images of which we've included below). Finally, the Petersen Automotive Museum is also collaborating with the Italian automaker to display an array of historic Maseratis in the West Hall lobby of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
