Maserati Spares

[saruji]

Has anyone had a problem with Maserati spares? I ordered and paid for a front sub-frame for a Gransport back at the beginning of August 2021 through a reputable Ferrari/Maserati outlet. Delivery was initially four weeks, then another four weeks, now nearly eight months later their latest delivery date, as promised by Maserati Customer Care in Italy has come and gone.
I really like the car and have had it and cherished it for fourteen years now, I don't particularly need it on the road because it is not a daily drive but Maserati certainly seem intent on making it as difficult as possible to keep their older models going.

Subframes have been on back order for years now and I suspect they'll go NLA when the factory finally admit no more are being made. I would be looking for a good used one and getting it shot blasted and powder coated.

Just be thankful you're looking for a 4200/GS frame where good used stock is available - if you had a Granturismo or QP then you're at a different level of pain in trying to get a good used one...

Voicey is correct, so many things are not available any more for relatively recent models.

Interior lights were NLA for the Gransport years ago.

There were a lot of cars that were £25k 7 or 8 years ago that are wortth double that now. Maseratis aren't among them.

I suspect the 2 facts aren't unrelated.

Re Granturismo front subframes they're being refurbed by a company called A S Motorsport - thread here

I have no experience of them (fortunately!) but thought it might be useful posting details.
May be worth asking them if they could do a Gransport frame?

Thanks for all your advice, looks like I need to have a rethink

Have a look on eBay.com.

Might be worth looking to import one from a dry state car being broken in the US.

I replaced my GS front subframe some time ago so feel your pain
