Up for sale is my wife's beloved Spyder. This is her third such car since 2004. She has owned it as her daily driver since 2008. We purchased it used from a dealer with 59K miles on it, so I do not know anything about it prior to that time. We had very few mechanical issues over our ownership, but she drives approximately 40 miles each way to work and has put some miles on it. She has purchased another Spyder (now her fourth) with lower miles, so this is the only cause for our selling this car at this time.

The title is clean with a clear CARFAX report. The car was in a minor traffic accident years ago while we owned it. A woman bumped us in stop and go city traffic and her front license plate frame punctured the rear bumper cover but did not compress any underlying structures. The only damage was cosmetic: we had the rear bumper cover replaced. Total cost to fix was under $700. Repaired by insurance company supervised shop. The original transmission failed last year, so the current transmission has only approximately 80K miles on it. It was dealer installed as a used unit in 2013.

All options, accessories, and components work as designed on the vehicle at this time, though the car will be sold as is and no warranty is expressed or implied by the information here. In short, if it has a button, it operates, including: Power Windows/Locks, Door/Alarm Remotes, Power Top, Factory CD, Interior and Exterior Lighting, Power Outlets, and all Controls. Rear defroster is the lone exception here. No check engine lights or other sensor issues are known. The top does not leak, save for in high pressure car washes as is typical of Eclipse Spyders of all model years.

Very clean daily driver with the following minor cosmetic issues:

Paint: No delamination or oxidation.Small section of hood and fenders have small areas of Duplicolor paint to hide deeper road rash, but no rust or bubbling present. Several sanding marks in preparation for repaint due to normal road wear. Wife bought new car in stead, so I will sell this car rather than continue to restore it. Needs only clear coat respray to remove sanding marks. Most marks disappear with good hand waxing. Chose to disclose marks rather than mask them with wax in the name of full disclosure. All paint issues can be resolved with TLC without the need to spray whole body, but if we kept it, we planned on doing so anyway, thus the present condition. Minor door dings along passenger side, all but one are smaller than a dime. The one larger is about three inches long. All will pop out without the need for paint using a service like Pop-A-Dent. One chip (half inch) under driver door from rock needs filling.

Interior: Factory leather from another car of same vintage. This car came with a cloth interior from the factory. Missing Driver Seat Lumbar Lever. Thus car has never been smoked in, however, since the seats came form another vehicle, there is a solitary cigarette (?) mark in the back, driver-side seat cushion. Had the seats three days before I noticed it. Very small and in inconspicuous location. Passenger side door vinyl has a small tear which can be colored to camouflage or repaired using vinyl kit. Both are smaller than a pencil in diameter. The rear interior panels especially have scuffs from kids getting in and out over the years, but none are cracked or punctured. Both door thresholds are scuffed and should be replaced, but are serviceable left as are.

Wheels: Several scratches in factory alloy wheels.

Single known unresolved mechanical issue: Rear window defroster does not heat.

New parts (Replaced this summer): AC Compressor and Drier, AC Control Panel, Blower Motor Resistor, Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Drive Belts, Idler Pulley, Front Sway Bar Links, Air Filter, Wiper Blades, Headlamps.

Newer parts (Replaced last summer): Timing belt and Tensioner, Water Pump, Spark Plugs/Wires, Tires, Brakes (Calipers, Pads, Shoes), Interior Carpet/Padding, Oxygen Sensor, Battery.

Please feel free to ask any questions needed to help you bid with confidence. Remember, this was my wife's car which we counted on to get her over 80 miles a day round trip and never lost sleep worrying about it leaving her stuck. Very sound throughout. This is not an auction car, or one someone is selling to make a profit with. We believe this car has many more reliable miles left in her. If you want a fun, head-turning car to drive on a daily basis, this is your best bet! I have set a very low reserve for this auction given the overall clean condition of the vehicle. I expect to sell this car during this listing, so I respectfully reserve the right to end the listing early if I sell it locally.

Maserati surprises Manhattan with Centennial edition GranTurismo

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

The GranTurismo may be getting a little long in the proverbial tooth, but it hasn't quite been a century just yet. It has, however, been a hundred years since Maserati was originally founded, and to celebrate that milestone, the Modenese automaker has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a pair of special editions. Available in either coupe or convertible form, the MC Centennial Editions arrived as a surprise just as the Alfieri concept was a month ago in Geneva, albeit somewhat less revolutionary.
The special editions are differentiated from any other by their paint scheme, special wheels, revamped interior and special badging throughout. Magma red and Inchiostro blue - the colors of the city of Bologna where the company was founded a century ago - are new to the Maserati catalog, and come with a choice of wheel options with special logos at the center. The interior color is specified to complement the exterior with red, white or blue trim and carbon-fiber accents.
Power comes from the same 4.7-liter V8 as the GranTurismo MC Stradale or GranCabrio Sport, driving 454 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. That's said to be enough to propel either coupe or convertible to a top speed of 185 miles per hour, and comes coupled with Brembo brakes and MC sport suspension. Deliveries commence in July, but you can scope it out here in the gallery of live images from the show floor above, the galleries of stock images below and the press release below that.

Heidi Klum and Maserati go Beyond the Swimsuit for Sports Illustrated

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

When sports and cars come together, the world "super" often comes up - whether it's a high-performance super sports car, a racing series (like Japan's Super GT, Australia's V8 Supercars or Italy's Superstars series), the latest crop of Super Bowl ads from the world's automakers or a supermodel posing with a car in the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This year's edition already saw Lisalla Montenegro cozying up to the new Lexus RC F, but it's not the only pairing to be found between an import luxury performance machine and a swimsuit model. The new 50th anniversary edition of the popular bikini special features a seven-page pictorial titled "Beyond the Swimsuit" shot by Francesco Carrozzini.
The spread features the inimitable Heidi Klum posing beside and inside various Maserati models - including the new Ghibli S Q4, the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car and the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna concept. Of course it's not the first time we're seeing a leggy blonde stepping out of Modena's finest - a role often taken up by one Jodie Kidd, to say nothing of the rich and beautiful in exotic locales the world over - but it's a pairing of which we'll never grow tired.

Maserati's Super Bowl spot may have cost more than $700 per car [w/video]

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

It's no secret that Super Bowl ad time is very, very expensive, with a 30-second spot for this year's game costing around $4 million. For Maserati, which aired a 90-second spot showing off its new Ghibli sedan during this year's game, the price was considerably above $4 million, though.
Automotive News estimates that the spot cost Maserati the equivalent of over $700 for each of the 15,400 vehicles sold last year. That works out to nearly $11 million. It may have paid off, though, as search traffic for Maserati and the Ghibli in particular saw a significant spike following the airing of the stylish commercial, and the brand's total sales were already on target for record levels before the ad aired.
The Ghibli "deserved a wide audience platform such as the Super Bowl," according to Maserati's chief marketing officer, Saad Chehab. The sports sedan is Maserati's most affordable entry, with prices starting around $67,000, moving the brand further downmarket than it's ever ventured before.
