I've always wanted a Maserati so last March I bought this
So far the problems have been minor and usually electrical but I do feel there's a bill coming soon I'm going to struggle to pass off unnoticed so trouble is on the horizon
I was set to buy one of these. 2003 4200 with 45k on th clock. Took one look at the itemised invoice for recent work = £14,563.45 (exact figure stuck in head) erm, no I shan't.So far the problems have been minor and usually electrical but I do feel there's a bill coming soon I'm going to struggle to pass off unnoticed so trouble is on the horizon
Happy new year.
Sorry.
This one is nudging 100,000 miles with a big box full of receipts over its 15 year life and I doubt all of them add up to that
There's plenty out there that go to main dealers and believe everything they're told ,there's a guy near me that breaks maseratis so used parts are available.
The cambiocorsa gearbox is reliable and uses Alfa parts , f1 pump is £1000 from Maserati, £300 in an Alfa box , clutch can be pricey £1500-2500
All the cars I've ever owned have had a clutch that gets fixed when it stops working but helpfully Maserati have installed a computerised guess in the software that tells owners they need to spend money with them because their clutch is almost worn out which is nice of them.
If it breaks and I don't have the money to fix it then I'll park it up until the house sells so I can

Dolly sprint never had a problem with it
TVR Chimera never let me down
TVR Tuscan rebuilt engine new clutch new slave cylinder cracked oil tank cost me a fortune but biggest mistake was selling it
Had four or five Mgb's apart from rust no problem, most unreliable car was my escort RS turbo 1986 but that was because it was chipped and probably overboosted detonated 2 engines
