NO RESERVE!!


New pictures up.  The first one was taken 5 minutes ago in my driveway.  The last one is me driving down the road yesterday showing 80 on the speedometer, in 6th gear, cruise control on, with fantastic oil pressure and good coolant temperature (no the steering wheel isn't cocked, it lines up and drives straight, was just trying to take a picture and steer at the same time).

This car has been my baby and my daily driver for the last year and she's been awesome, but it's time to let her to go someone who will appreciate her more.  I'm 42 and I travel for a living, so I don't really use the full potential of this car and want someone to have it who will really enjoy it!  I'm the 3rd owner, it originally was sold on the West Coast, moved up to Washington State for almost a decade, then came down to Nashville.  It's NEVER been in the snowbelt, no rust issues.  

Only 457 of these were made, less are around now, very rare!

You will NOT find another one like this out there.  How do I know?  Because Mitsubishi did not offer the VR4 Spyder in Black on black colors, and I have recently completely replaced all the cream interior that goes bad so quickly with all NEW black leather seats and new carpets, it looks brand new!  All power functions work perfectly, including the top which has been recently calibrated by a Spyder technician, power steering, cruise control, windows, everything works!  No smoking, no loud lifter tick, no squeaking, no rattling, just a solid driving slick black driving machine; fly in and drive her home today!

Over the last year she's been completely refurbished, and I have receipts for all of this work, including but not limited to:

New transmission rebuild - over $2,000, performed 2 years ago in Washington State
New Air Conditioning Compressor, Condensor, Dryer, and system flushed and filled - $1,000 last summer, blows super cold and auto climate control works perfectly!
New Driver's Side power window motor - $250 last summer
New Radiator, radiator cap, and thermostat - $400 last summer
New FULL PAINT JOB - professionally stripped down to primer and re-painted black with clear coat, looks AWESOME - $2,200 - 6 months ago
Headlights sanded down and refinished - $150 - 6 months ago, but could stand being polished again
New Black carpet - $400 3 months ago
New black leather interior - $1,000 3 months ago
New tires - $750 3 months ago
New shift boot - 3 months ago
New antenna - this month
New windshield washer pump and nozzles - this month

The chrome rims shine up VERY nicely but have normal road wear on them.  The car had the 60k done many years ago according to the previous owner but has not had the 120k service done, but it still drives perfectly, every day.  I even took it back and forth 4 hours each way from Nashville to Atlanta last month, it drove perfectly, no issues.

So, in the last two years, it's had over $7,000 of work done!  Where else are you going to find a Spyder with this awesome of maintenance history, WITH RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT??!!  

These are super rare, and getting more rare every year as people wreck them or part them out.  Get a car that turns heads, no one knows what it is, looks AWESOME SEXY, and makes people stop and admiringly ask you what kind of car you're driving!

RELISTED DUE TO DEADBEET BIDDER (misspelled deliberately because eBay doesn't want me to use that word, I might "offend" someone, oh my).

$500 deposit required via Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.
Balance due within 3 business days via cash or Bank Check.  Bank check must clear before you can drive the car home.
This car has a CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.  There was a minor dent in a fender YEARS ago, since fixed and you can't tell at all (it'll show up on your Carfax).  NO SALVAGE CRAP HERE!
I can meet you at the Nashville airport if you choose to fly in and drive it home rather than have it delivered.
More pictures or video of running car available upon request, even a Facetime video if you want to watch the top in action!  
I encourage you to come test drive this BEFORE you bid.
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding.  You're bidding to own this car, not bidding on a chance to come look at it.  All bids are final, car is sold as-is where-is with no warranties express or implied.

Thanks for bidding, and good luck!

Maserati hand-painted tricolor stripe shows Italian pride — for a price

Fri, Jun 26 2020

Italy has gone through a rough time with the coronavirus, but now the country is emerging from the worst of it and is experiencing a renewed sense of national pride. Rome's famous Colosseum is illuminated in the green, white and red of the Italian flag, and Maserati is getting into the spirit as well. The company is offering a narrow tri-color stripe in the same green-white-red on the hood and roof of new Maseratis. Waving the proverbial Italian flag with your Maserati doesn't come cheap, however. The option is $5,000, although we should point out that it is hand-painted. The stripe is available on a small number of 2020 model year Levantes and Ghiblis exclusively in conjunction with the Nero Ribelle (metallic black) body color. We're told the special stripe will be offered more widely as a special-order option for 2021, where it can also be paired with other body colors. Pricing for the 2021 model year has not been released. Related video:    

Maserati recalls 135 GranTurismos over door latches

Tue, Dec 1 2015

Maserati issued a recall for faulty door latches on the GranTurismo. Only 135 examples are affected, though the GranTurismo is a low-volume product. The problem with the door latches is that they may not have been properly heat-treated, which means that in the event of a crash, the door could swing open. All of the affected GranTurismos (both coupes and convertibles) are from the 2016 model year and were produced between June 24, 2015, and September 2, 2015. While Maserati's sales figures (thanks largely to the introduction of newer models) continue to climb, the GranTurismo accounts for only a small portion of the company's overall production. Last year the company sold an all-time high of 36,500 units around the world, of which only 3,500 (or less than one tenth) were from the GranTurismo line - which remains the oldest in the Maserati lineup. Since introducing the GranTurismo in 2007, the Modenese automaker has rolled out the Ghibli, replaced the Quattroporte, and is preparing to delve into the SUV market with the forthcoming Levante. A new two-door model is expected to arrive in the form of the Alfieri, which won't replace the GranTurismo, per se, but we wouldn't expect the GranTurismo to stick around for long after the Alfieri comes along. RECALL Subject : Passenger Side Door Latch Not Heat Treated Report Receipt Date: NOV 10, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V744000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 135 Manufacturer: Maserati North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2016 GranTurismo and GranTurismo Convertibles manufactured June 24, 2015, to September 2, 2015. The affected vehicles were built with passenger side door latch components that were not heat treated. CONSEQUENCE: If the door latch was not heat treated, in the event of a crash, the door latch may fail allowing the door to open, increasing the risk of injury. REMEDY: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side door latch assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2015. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-201-816-2600. Maserati's number for this recall is 292. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. Related Video:

Mid-engined, 621-horsepower MC20 inaugurates a new era for Maserati

Wed, Sep 9 2020

No longer embedded in the gap separating Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, Maserati is preparing to give its range of models an overhaul that's so comprehensive it merits its own chapter in the firm's history. The first car in this installment isn't a volume-generating crossover or a politically correct electric car (though, fear not, both are coming soon). It's a mid-engined, 621-horsepower coupe designed with an unabashed focus on performance. Called MC20, it will join a segment dominated by Lamborghini, McLaren, and former sister company Ferrari. Maserati explained developing the MC20 took about two years thanks in part to software-based simulation testing that saves the firm a significant amount of time and money. 97% of dynamic tests were performed using simulator designed in-house, and engineers then fine-tuned the car by testing it in real-world road and track conditions around the world. Lap times were extremely important, because the MC20 was built to race. We'll need to wait to find out where it will compete, and what it will look like in full racing regalia. Maserati has only unveiled the street-legal variant, which wears a low-mounted oval grille, swept-back headlights, and triangle-shaped rear lights. All of the brand's defining characteristics are accounted for, and stylists intentionally weaved a handful of subtle references to the MC12 built in 2004 and 2005 into the design. Viewed from the side, it wears the typical proportions we expect from a mid-engined supercar. It upholds Italy's well-earned reputation for creating poster-worthy supercars that blur the line between transportation and art Da Vinci would be proud of. Slightly bigger in person than in photos, the 3,306-pound MC20 stretches 184 inches from end to end, 77 inches wide and 48 inches tall. Its cargo capacity checks in at 1.8 cubic feet in the frunk and 3.5 cubes in the trunk. For context, the 3,423-pound Lamborghini Huracan measures 176, 76 and 46, respectively. And, for another mid-engined point of reference, the 2,943-pound Porsche 718 Cayman measures 172, 71 and 51, respectively.  Maserati chose not to give the MC20 active aerodynamic components, though the coupe depends on a small, neatly integrated rear spoiler for downforce, and it relied extensively on carbon fiber to keep weight in check. It also installed butterfly doors, but they're more functional than their made-for-Instagram flair suggests.
