Just purchased a pre-owned Maser Quattroporte. Pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait. Any driving tips for a first time owner? How does it run best? Also - any accessories that really make sense? Thanks.

I'd be mighty suspicious of a used car.
 
Good luck.

Dear Maserati Enthusiast:
 
I would love to know which dealer installed your clutch kit under warranty so I can take my car there. My dealer says it is a normal wearout part and expects me to pay for the repair which would be charged at $4,000.00.
 
Please send me information to celestinoariashotmail.com ASAP. I would like to have evidence to approach Maserati and ask for equal treatment.
 
Thanks,

Just bought '05 QP and having transmission problems. Get "Transmission Failure" warning on display and causes a no start condition. Also when in Auto mode transmission not shifting into 6th gear at highway speeds. Thoughts or better yet any solutions. Is there new computer software or upgrade that might help with the electronic problems. Is the "upgrade" for the older boxes available in the USA and would it help my problem. Luxury Italian sedan that doesn't start is an expensive garage ornament. I love the car and would do just about anything for some reliability. Do not want to regret my decision to buy.

I am thinking about buying a 2005 Q for $40k that has 50k miles on it. would this be a costly (maintenance) mistake?
 
Thanks,
Ken

yes its a high maintainence car and will cost you a lot to maintian. Believe me when you go for 75K mile service done will cost you $4000. I just spent.

On an '05, you have the duoselect transmission, yes? So was that $4k with a new clutch? Was that the first time you had to replace it? If so, that's really good. I've read the average is 40k miles.
