Hello, Foreword: I have become very attached to my Maserati during my ownership and feel slightly guilty typing away details about her prior to a possible reluctant sale. I am sure there are many other members that feel or have felt the same way about their Maserati too, there’s just something special about them that causes that constant grin. However, I have decided that I will not be advertising her to a wider audience due to the possibility of her falling into the wrong hands. This is an excellent example of a 3200GT and I searched for many months and many miles before I eventually found the “right one”. Just for the record… I was put off the 3200’s for a period of time due to frightening reading mainly on this forum about the “dreaded crank end float” issue but out of the six 3200 I viewed and which I had independent inspections on at the garage at my cost not one had any excess end float that should not have been there!!! I had followed this forum for quite a while before becoming a “proper” member last year and it seems to attract more of the “enthusiasts” of the marquee, the type of people who in my opinion like myself will care for the cars. If you head for the member forums instead of the auction sites it tends to show in my opinion that you have a little more time and respect for the marquee. So, due to the money I have spent keeping her in great condition mechanically and aesthetically including the recent £3000 Service (where many parts were replaced due to preventative action at my request) and the £900 clean and polish I want to ensure that my time and money has not been wasted and the possible new owner will be a genuine enthusiast who will “drive it” but also look after it… I am in no rush what so ever to sell her and if for any reason (due to the economic climate) she does not sell by the spring then I will probably put her into storage until my work circumstances change. My Car: 3200GT V8 TWIN TUBRO Year: 2001 Y Reg (Currently on Private Plate) Mileage: 53,000 Gearbox: 6 Speed Tax: May 2010 Mot: November 2010 All Keys: X2 Black, X1 Red and Key Code Card Colour: Verdi Mistral Metallic Interior Seats: Leather Piped Medio Grigio Dashboard: Leather Piped Medio Grigio Headlining: Grey Alcantara Additional info: New Maserati Inner Mat Set, Maserati Wiper set and Throttle Body Replaced May 2009 Wheels: Brand New Maserati 10 Spoke Fitted plus a spare set of 15 Spoke originals also included with nuts Exhaust: Upgraded Stainless Steel Quicksilver System Sports exhaust an awesome sound when pushed - http://www.quicksilverexhausts.com/product_bulletins/Video/Maserati%203200GT/105.htm Tyres: Dunlop Sports with very little wear Callipers and Discs: New Maserati Brembo All Round 1000 miles ago Brake Pads and Shoes: New 1000 miles ago Auxiliary and Timing Belts and Pulleys: All replaced in last service Service History: Full Maserati and latest Emblem Suspension System: Skyhook Adjustable Bodywork: Excellent Order Highly Waxed (No rust bubbles or pitting on wheel arches rear wings etc as can sometimes occur) Engine Report: Showed Crank well within Tolerance (probably due to the engine ony ever being lubricated with Selenia 10/60) Battery Condition: Excellent due to battery maintenance through Trickle Charger (included) Storage: Stored in a heated Garage with Genuine Maserati Cover (included) The car is best suited to any existing members who wish to return to the unpredictable power of the twin turbo’s and know what they are looking for or any newbie’s who are now in a position to own a Maserati. This car has showed a CEL once but disappeared instantly when the throttle body was replaced May 09 The car is used four times per week part motorway and (a) roads but is washed and properly dried by hand every time it is put away - hard work but it can be done… I am looking for £15700 which I feel is very realistic due to its overall condition and extras ( 15 spokes, Trickle Charger, Genuine Car Cover) and unfortunately the price is not open for any wider silly debate. If the price is above your budget for a fantastic condition and quality cared for Maserati 3200 then best look on ebay If I've missed anything just ask and I will reply asap... For existing members your feedback is always appreciated
