Description

At the heart of every Maserati is the Ferrari V8 engine. Maserati engineers set out to do their own styling and suspension tuning. As Maserati became more successful in the U.S., it is evident to their Ferrari owners that they need to steer the marque to a differnt niche than their big brother Ferrari. So starting 2007 they pretty much directed maserati to a sedan and luxury 2+2 only market in the U.S. although the gransport remains in production in Europe. The new grand turismo is a great car but it has gotten a lot bigger and much less nimble then the gran sport. Hence the last true U.S.Maserati sports car is the 2006 Gran sport. As the name implies it is not just a gran tourer as sports is in it's genes. The suspension have been vastly revised from the earlier coupe with entirely different suspension geometry, lower ride height and bigger wheels and lower profile tires. The transmission is now paddle shift only that was lifted from the Ferrari 575 but with a much faster shifting program that is reduced by over 50% shift time ( .18 second vs .4 second ). Body changes at the nose, side and rear makes it a much more sporty looking stallion. And the elimination of the resonator with X pipes give it that much more of a V8 rumble that is truely intoxicating as well as adding an extra 10 horse and a bit more torque. A bigger steering wheel also give it a sportier and more reassuring feel to complete that entire transformation. The interior is also fitted with a racier seats and differnt dash. The result? an entirely different car that is quicker in all aspects and livelier in personality, and just darn sexy too boot!

All that raised the base price to $98000 and change and then there is this version the LE which adds another $6000 making it a base price of $104,000. But you do get a lot for that $6000, like the skyhook suspension ( $2370) with driver adjustable gas shock and exhaust flap control, driver and passenger heated and memory seats ( $720 ), cd changer ( $775),auditorium 200 sound ($925 ),xenon headlight ( $1125 ),and full leather dash ( $1200) . It almost sounds like bargain with all that for just $6000.

Well, in this case there are even more EXTRA cost options. such as

crusie control $520

extra cost Blu Mediterraneo paint $2900

park distance $610

painted brake calipers $520

carbon fiber trim $720

ball polish 19 inch wheels $1135

color match leather piping $250

leather roof $1200

plus gas guzzler tax $3700

dealer prep $300

making this is a car with an MSRP of $117,377

What makes this car extra special is that it is 100 % clear title with no accident and also a very very rare SINGLE owner car. Which means it was driven by someone who knows how to take care of it and a car that had no issues in it's entire life. Previous owner also had the brakes done before turning it in at lease end. Now that is a true auto enthusiast!

Also of special note is that this car has a very rare custom emblem package that has red accent trident on the front grill and added maserati trident on the C pillar with red accent, and maserati badges on the front fender all that just add to the exclusive look of this vehicle.

To make sure the new owner have nothing to worry about, it already had major service that cost $1800 at the dealer. It includes:

full synthetic oil and filter change with crush washer

Transmission fluid change

Differential gear oil change with crush washer

 

Brake fluid change

Air filter

Power steering fluid change

Auxiliary drive belt

 

Set of spark plugs

Cabin pollen air filter change

Cosmetically this car is like new and the interior is smoke free and damage free. Everything works like it should and all it needs is you in the driver's seat! Also this car will come with all 3 keys, tools, floor mats, and owner's manual.

Thanks for looking and happy motoring !!!
