This Italian Beauty runs like a race horse and gets a lot of attention. The lines of the car and the exhaust note are simply hypnotic! The F1 system shifts flawlessly and is just a blast to drive. Life begins when you press the blue Start button! The Brembo brakes will prepare you for any turn and the 400hp motor will rocket you out of it. The heated sport seats will keep you locked in place as you whip this car through turns. The smooth V8 will throw you against the seat...be ready when you step on the gas pedal!

A word about maintenance:
As any educated purchaser of Italian cars knows, maintenance is key to these vehicles. We have the records to prove we have maintained the car! (Before purchasing any exotic car, always ask to see the maintenance records!) This 2005 Maserati Gran Sport has been expertly maintained and just had a major service completed this month by Exotic Car Specialties of VA. (Feel free to search the Maserati Life forum to find out more about Josh and the crew at ECS of VA - They are excellent mechanics.) The valve cover gaskets (including spark plug seals and Variator Solenoids have been replaced as one of the valve cover gaskets was just starting to leak oil. This job alone is over $1,700. A major service on it just completed this month was over $1,300. The car is ready for a great driving season and will only need a minor service next!

Why we are selling the Gran Sport:
We had purchased the car a few years ago from Ferrari & Maserati of Washington. The car, as truly awesome as it is, has become a garage queen and my schedule regretfully does not give me time to drive it much anymore. We have never taken the car out in poor weather conditions. 

Aftermarket options & Misc. Items:
The car does have aftermarket window tint and a clear bra on it. Dealers today are charging around $1,500 to put a clear bra on one of these cars. After seeing how well bugs clean up off the clear bra and the lack of chips in the paint because of it, I have become a believer in the clear bra. It has done an excellent job protecting the front of the car. We also have all of the keys (including the valet key) and the books to go with the car.  

Here are the things I think you should know in the interest of full disclosure: 
The front license plate holder did break on a low dip in the road. There were NO scratches on the bumper as the license plate holder took the hit. There is also a small dent on top of the right fender that can only be seen from certain angles. The front tires are a little choppy as there was a delay from when I put them on to when I had the car aligned (the alignment is good now.) There is still a lot of tread on the tires, but they are a little noisy. The window tint is inline with Virginia state law (50% on the front doors and 35% on the back windows). You may need to change the tint depending on your state's laws.  There is a small scratch on the left headlight where something had flown up on the highway and scraped the lens. The lens is not cracked and few people even notice the scratch. Finally, there are no cup holders in the car thus making Starbuck's runs a little challenging. Other than those things, everything else on the car is in excellent condition. I am happy to send more pictures of specific things if you like. 

Shipping and Payment:
Shipping is fully the responsibility of the buyer. The car will be available for shipping once full payment has been received and funds have cleared. We will deliver the car anywhere within 50 miles of Shenandoah County, Virginia for free if needed for shipping. We do recommend using an enclosed shipping carrier to protect the vehicle. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction closing and full payment is due within 7 calendar days of the auction closing. If full payment is not received within 7 calendar days after the auction closes, the buyer forfeits the deposit. The car currently has a lien on it. Therefore, it will take me a few weeks to get you the title.

100th Anniversary Maserati Ghibli stars in the 2014 Neiman Marcus catalog

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

Each year, retailer Neiman Marcus releases a Christmas catalog detailing some truly absurd gifts. Chief among them is a Neiman Marcus edition car. Usually from a luxury or exotic manufacturer, the Neiman Marcus models are a limited edition and generally sell out very quickly. Past participants have included the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, McLaren MP4-12C Spider, Ferrari FF and, the most plebian car in recent memory, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. For this year's catalog, the Maserati Ghibli is up for purchase.
Not only will it make a great Christmas gift for the ultra wealthy, but this $95,000 Maser also pays tribute to the Italian automaker's 100th anniversary. Based on the top-of-the-line S Q4 model, this Ghibli adds a few unique features, including bespoke 20-inch wheels with centennial center caps and a black border for the grille.
The cabin features premium leather in Cuoiu, which is basically tan. Black contrast stitching can be found throughout the cabin and on the Tridents stitched into the headrests, while bespoke piano black trim rounds out the interior. Finally, the center console bears a badge denoting the Ghibli's unique edition number.

This Decepticon-themed Maserati ticketed for imitating a police car

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

States have different laws about how closely your car can mimic the look of a police car, which this Massachusetts driver might've wanted to have look into. Even though he's driving a Maserati GranTurismo in homage to the Transformer Barricade and it reads "Decepticons" and "To punish and enslave" on the sides - in two places - and a Twitter hashtag for #Halomafia, the police in Braintree, MA, didn't like it.
Watch out now, Decepticons are patrolling Quincy Shore Drive! #quincytweets #quincyma pic.twitter.com/gXMerDS0FS

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
