No reserve 2006 Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT + many upgrades

I am selling my baby, I have owned this car for 3.5 years and still love every time I get behind the wheel.  I am not a high end used car dealer trying to make a buck, I am an individual who is passionate about his cars.  I am selling to get another Maserati.  The pictures tell the story of the meticulously maintained vehicle.   This car has never been driven in the rain or snow and has never been through a commercial car wash. Hand washed only! Consequently no swirl marks, anyone who has had a black car can appreciate.  This car has all of the luxury of the executive GT model, heated/ventilated/massage seats, power rear seats, power window shade…..ect, but with performance upgrades that outperforms the Sport GT. (More HP, Faster shifts, Louder exhaust than the sport GT)

This car will have more miles than is shown here as I still drive this vehicle 3-4 days/week.

 

-Brand new clutch

-All 30K and 50K services performed by certified dealer

-All oil changes by certified dealer

-Tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (substantially outperforms the OEM Pirellis)  

 

UPGRADES:

$8k invested in performance upgrades puts this QTP near 500 HP

·        High Flow air filter - $200

·        High Power ECM Performance Chip - $2000 

·        Drive by wire enhancement module - $1300 (this is a must for this car, not only improves the shifting speeds dramatically but extends the clutch life, this car got 50,000 miles on the original clutch. Most of these cars get 15-20K per clutch)

·        Larini Exhaust system

-         Mufflers - $3500

-         X-Pipe - $850

-         The OEM exhaust is very restrictive and quiet, the only way to appreciate the sound on this car is watch the video and listen… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IrF7CqeUE8&feature=youtu.be

 

$4,300 invested in a professionally installed upgraded electronics to make this Maserati have all of the features that new vehicles have:

Kenwood unit that controls and connects to the factory audio system that features

·        Bluetooth phone connectivity

·        I-pod connection

·        Garmin navigation (original OEM navigation is completely useless)

·        Satellite radio

·        Head unit with touch screen and run through the OEM sound system

·        DVD player

 

This car is titled as a lemon law car.  The First owner turned in the car at 23K miles after and three years on the lemon law for an electronic issue.(waited three years ?????)  Most of the electrical system was replaced and I purchased the car.  I have never had any issues with the car, again I am purchasing another Maserati, if I had problems I wouldn’t be interested in another Maserati.  I am also selling this vehicle locally and may end the auction early if sold prior to the end of the auction.

Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.

2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale gets its groove, seats back

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale was exclusively a two-seater, but here in Geneva, the big Italian coupe gets its rear thrones back. We don't know if the addition of rear passenger space will help improve sales of this special trim of the aging GT, but it's at the very least an excuse for Maserati to shine a few lights on its gorgeous two-door.
Under that rakish carbon fiber bonnet is the same Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 we've loved for years now, tuned to 460 horsepower in this application and mated to Maserati's MC Race Shift six-speed automatic transmission. Other updates for the MC Stradale include new 20-inch alloy wheels and a smattering of new materials inside the cabin.
Yes, it feels like we write about some version of the GranTurismo every time we attend the Geneva Motor Show, but this car still tickles our fancy each and every time. Scroll down for the press blast and check out the four-seater for yourself in the high-resolution gallery.

Maserati introduces Ghibli to Americans in Super Bowl spot

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles aired three commercials during this year's Super Bowl, and the first spot was given to Maserarti during the first quarter of the big game. The 90-second ad was used by Maserati to introduce its new midsize Ghibli luxury sports sedan to a very captive American audience.
Called Strike, the Ghibli commercial tells the familiar tale of the little guy who waits around for the world's giants to let down their guard. Scroll down to watch the spot yourself and let us know if it lives up to the high bar that Chrysler brands have set for themselves in past Super Bowls.
