3200 GT pre purchase inspection check

[jeremyth]

Hi all,

I tried the search function and couldn’t find anything related to this, apologies if i missed it.

I had a 3200 GT inspected for any issues before i will go ahead and purchased it. The only two issues noted were the Power Steering Hydraulic hose and the intake manifold. Both needed replacing. The rest passed - (it only has 22,000 miles / 38,000 KMs on the clock)

I would be curious to know if any of these could be an expensive fix, or more concerning a pointer to another issue.

Thanks

can't think of much that could go wrong with the intake manifold? If its cracked it would be very much cheaper to get it welded and repainted or source one from a breakers. Dread to think what a new one from Maserati would cost!

You could try this guy (David). Im sure he would send to HK.

Great - Thanks. I trying to limit any damage before i take the plunge, chances are i will use it more for a bargining point rather than a "show stopper", but wanted to check if it was going to be a "car stopper" first.
