2005 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE

For sale: 2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2 V8 – Reliable Daily Driver in Rare Dark Green/Teal Metallic with Luxurious Tan/Beige Leather Interior.

This 2005 example (fifth-generation, M139 series) is a true Italian grand tourer with timeless Pininfarina styling and a Ferrari-derived naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 engine producing around 400 hp. It delivers that signature Maserati exhaust soundtrack, thrilling performance (0-60 mph in about 5.2-5.5 seconds, top speed over 170 mph), and surprisingly usable four-door practicality with rear-wheel drive and smooth automatic transmission.

Why this stands out as a daily driver:

I've used it as my everyday car for years – it's been consistently reliable with no major breakdowns or surprises.

MOT history has always been exemplary – clean passes every year with minimal/no advisories, showing consistent care and maintenance.

Recently fitted new clutch sourced and installed by Giallo specialist (trusted Maserati experts).

Lots of service history and documentation available – well-maintained throughout its life.

Mileage: 51,344 miles – relatively low for a 21-year-old car, reflecting gentle, careful use.

Key positives:

Stunning deep green metallic paint that shifts beautifully in sunlight – looks fantastic and well-presented.

Plush tan leather interior with electric/heated seats, wood trim accents, and premium Maserati elegance; seats in good condition with only light wear.

19-inch silver alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres (decent tread remaining).

Clean, detailed engine bay showcasing the iconic V8 layout.

Drives smoothly, feels special every drive, and handles long journeys effortlessly.

Honest negatives (full transparency):

Rear parking sensors not working (common minor electrical issue on older Maseratis – straightforward and affordable fix at a specialist).

Small dent in the rear bootlid – no paint damage, cracking, or structural issues; just a minor bodywork imperfection that's barely noticeable from a distance.

Headlining has come away in the centre which can be seen in the photos

These are typical age-related quirks for a 2005 exotic, but nothing mechanical or major – the car remains solid, reliable in daily use, and ready to enjoy.

2005 Quattroportes are increasingly rare in the UK, especially in this desirable colour combo with tan leather. If you're looking for Italian character, V8 excitement, exclusivity, and a rewarding daily driver without the extreme costs of newer supercars (though specialist servicing applies), this is a fantastic choice.
