NJ 2005 Maserati Quattroporte - $15K or trade - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

prew · 11-15-2016, 08:58 PM

Hello all,

Long time lurker, infrequent poster. I'm selling my 2005 Maserati Quattroporte that I've owned for two years and have used as a daily driver for most of that time.

The good:
Car is in good shape overall and drives well with 76K miles and clean title. These cars are known for their archaic "F-1" transmissions and short clutch life so beware of that even though it has given me no issues. I put the oem 20's from the Sport GT on it, lowered it with stock coilovers and gutted the mufflers to make it sound more like a Ferrari the engine is borrowed from.

The bad:
- I tapped someone at a stop sign when there was some ice on the road last winter and broke the drivers side headlight lens. I replaced the entire headlight assembly with a used unit from a friend that had previously worked on his car. After installing the headlight everything works except the hid low beam. There are also some scratches under the headlight because I did not replace or repaint the bumper.
- The abs/traction control lights come on after about 5 minutes of driving the car. If you turn the car off and on they will stay off for the rest of the day as long as the car doesn't completely cool down. I've read that his could be a bad strut, old battery or a sensor. Since I get a different answer everywhere I ask I haven't done anything about this.

I am asking $15K and will consider trade offers for LS swapped cars and can add cash on my end.

Thanks,
Steve

From what I've seen mine is the lowest price with clean title in the country but you're right they are pretty cheap.

Car sold for $14k on ebay no reserve and the buyer seems to be flaking. If anyone is interested at that price let me know.

Let's focus on what's really important here: first Maserati for sale on Zilvia.

If I was in the US I'd even consider this. I valet'd a few at an old job and although these are pretty basic they sound rad and aren't seen on the road that much compared to the Ghibli and newer counterparts.

Bump for a (totally uninformed opinion) good price on an uncommon car.

You're opinion is pretty much spot on, this is basically a flashy sedan without many options and a great sounding engine. I am daily driving a C63 now which is a faster better car in every aspect but not nearly as impressive to the uninformed.

I do want to mention that as far as I know this trans is the same as what's in the 6-speed ferrari's and alot of those guys will swap from f1 to manual trans to increase the value of their cars. I would love to do the swap on this car but I don't have the time or know how.
