Quattroporte IV
Discussion
Hello all,
I was wondering if there was anyone here who could give me any information on Quattroporte IV's. Come the end of the year/spring next year I'm going to need a big 4dr saloon, and I'm not really excited by the thought of driving about in an uber barge, the Quattroporte looks like decent alternative at the budget I will have (given Verdi’s recent sale listed at knocking on £13,000). I've done a little research in to the Quattroporte, and Maserati's in general, and was wondering if you could give me some pointers for when I come to look around for one.
What are the cars like to live with? At heart I'm a TVR man so "character" and "nuances" aren’t something that put me off from a car, I'm looking more for 'if I drive from Cheshire to the South East will I arrive having just spent hours wrestling an old Landie on the M6>M40 or just driven my favourite armchair for 200 miles'.
Ultimately, what are the important things I need to look for when viewing a prospective purchase?
Who are the recognised “experts” in servicing/generally looking after Maserati’s in the UK, Verdi seem to have a decent reputation, anyone else?
Regards
Iain

A google for maserati in the uk will turn up various places.
Bill McGrath are usually listed as being the main one (Hertfordshite - not Kent as I previously posted!)
Theres a buyers guide for the QP IV in an EVO - think it was the 25k supercars (along with porsche 928 GTS, ferrari 348 etc) Issue 70 something IIRC.
Main issue with these cars is the cost of bits - parts will hhurt if you need them - though the engine etc is regarded as being very solid.
One to go for is the last of the line V8 Evolution so they say.
