Maserati Biturbos

Just browsing ebay and there is one up for 3999 (with offers) by a dealer, 68k, service history and MOT!!

Wouldn't ever consider one myself i don't think, my 928 has cost me enough so i dread to think what these must be like. Maybe why there so cheap? i quite like the styling but i guess they are very marmite..BUT a Maser for mondeo money!!

Anybody here ever owned one?

You could spend 10k on a service in a heartbeat when something goes wrong, and it will.

Not potentially ruinous - but utterly certainly ruinous.

That said that Time article is utter ste - no way can the BMW 7 Series, Fiat Multipla and X Type be in the 50 worst cars of all time. Didn't top gear vote the Multipla as car of the year?
