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!

Original paint and interior, has signs of ware far less to be expected with a vehicle of this age and miles.

2015 Maserati GranTurismo to show new styling language for brand
Tue, 25 Jun 2013Despite the fact that Maserati has yet to officially mention the next generation of its grand touring lineup, it seems like we know plenty of details about the upcoming range of Maserati coupes and convertibles. First we heard that the GranTurismo line would be growing to include three models, then we heard that new, smaller two-seater (possibly named Gran Sport) could be here by 2016 and, most recently, reports indicated that the GranTurismo's successor will feature more compact dimensions to better take on the Porsche 911.
Now Edmunds is reporting that the 2015 GranTurismo will mark a major evolution in the design language for the Italian automaker, while the Levante SUV will get the current styling cues found on the 2014 Quattroporte and 2014 Ghibli. The article also says that Maserati is planning to offer its models with a wider range of available colors and that it will introduce new limited-edition models as well all in hopes of selling 50,000 units globally by 2015.
All future Maseratis will borrow styling cues from the MC20
Thu, Sep 10 2020Maserati's recently-unveiled MC20 coupe points to the direction stylists will take the rest of the company's range in during the 2020s. Its proportions will remain unique – the company isn't about to make the family-friendly Levante mid-engined – but its front end and its pure, simplified approach to design will permeate other models. "The face of the MC20, with the low-mounted grille and the headlights positioned much higher on the fascia, is our new design language," affirmed Klaus Busse, the head of the company's design department. He added it's a look that draws inspiration from past models, including the limited-edition MC12 built between 2004 and 2005. Lighting technology has evolved considerably since the middle of the 2000s, so designers and engineers are now able to use LEDs to give Maserati's future models a more distinctive-looking face, especially at night. Autoblog understands the second-generation GranTurismo scheduled to make its debut in 2021 will be the first MC20-inspired model. Its styling cues will also influenced the Grecale, a smaller SUV positioned below the Levante and possibly related to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Maserati's aim isn't to end up with a range of nesting doll-like models that all look the same, so expect to see variations of the MC20 theme as the line-up develops. Busse also shared insight about how his team shaped the MC20 (pictured). Early on, he insisted the car shouldn't receive oversized air inlets or a park bench-sized wing on the back. His team consequently integrated all of the components that create downforce below the axle line, which runs through the middle of the wheels. It's a pure, simple approach to design that will characterize future models, meaning they'll be sporty in a subtle, elegant way. Related Video:  Â
Maserati Ghibli GranLusso gets semi-autonomous tech and updated styling
Thu, Aug 24 2017Maserati's littlest sedan is getting a little bit of a makeover in the form a new GranLusso trim for the Ghibli. It will make its official debut at the Chengdu auto show in China, and it mostly consists of aesthetic updates. Up front, the GranLusso gets a grille that has chrome vertical bars in addition to the surround. They also appear thicker and more aggressive. The lower grille has been reshaped, with the outboard openings sweeping up and out, creating more of a smile shape. The headlights are less busy, with a very narrow LED accent strip, and square-shaped projectors. Along the side, the GranLusso gets some badges to tell everyone you got the newest fanciest Ghibli. At the back, the rear bumper has been ever so slightly reshaped at the base. Maserati claims the changes make the car more aerodynamically efficient, but don't give specifics, and frankly we can't imagine the improvement nearly enough to make any real difference to the way the car drives or performs. Styling tweaks aren't the only addition to the GranLusso though. The car will feature some type of semi-autonomous or autonomous driving technology. Again, no specific details were given. We reached out to Maserati for an explanation, and they wouldn't elaborate, saying that there should be more info when it makes its debut at the Chengdu show. No release window or pricing were given either. Related Video:
