nice car but not enough "bling" and performance(390 Hp)for the $$ IMO.

depending on options...clean 03's should run you around 65-70, an 04 around 70 to 75 and a new 05 will set you back 90 to almost 110 for a new one.

If you want Italian and can lay down about 20K more(compared to a new Maserati) ...get a 99-01 360 Modena coupe.

Thanks Toby. I like the idea of picking up an '04 with <5k miles in the 70s or less. I dont want to DD a Modena....

I have already bought a house, invested in a new hospital, and have another business in the works. Any other suggestions?

A Maserati is one of those cars whose name is more exotic than the vehicle itself.

Unless you're one of the Tejas Haters, call Sean Roe. He's had one for a few months now. He loves it. As usual, he's been tweaking and apparently has made some good progress with it.

Fiat bought control of Maserati from Ferrari in February.

I dont disagree with that. I do dig that I dont see them everywhere, they are attainable, and the interior is beautiful. I dont feel like im getting into an exotic, but more like a more rare MB. I just want to make sure it's fairly reliable.

Give him a ring. 1 866 ASK SEAN.

I think they were even considering selling mods for them.

I have a few pics in my gallery of my old one. It's comfortable, so no problem using it as a daily driver if you want.

Maserati = Italian Saab

Definitely a more realistic DD than a Ferrari, although that 575 keeps staring at me.

**Smackie** · August 10th, 2005, 01:25 PM

Every trendy nutswinger is going to get a Maserati now that "E" from Entourage is rollin', rollin', rollin' around SoCal in a Quattroporte.

Victory!
