#59 of 166 Re: Climate control [izeldis] & overheating by jerryposner Aug 02, 2005 (4:09 pm)
Replying to: izeldis (Aug 01, 2005 8:16 pm) Got the car as a demo with 4,000 miles on it. The first week, the car was dead. Towed on flatbed to the dealership, they checked it out, couldn't find anything that drained the battery (and they had the car for a few months when new and it had no problem)(and, by the way, with the battery dead, we couldnt figure out how to get into the locked trunk), but we have had no problem whatsoever since.   As to the overheating, there was a loose connection from one of the two fans. No problem since fix.   Have 7,700 miles on it now, no clutch problem or tire problem. We were told to expect to normally get 12-15,000 miles tops from the wide Z tires.

Works very well, and looks a lot easier (and a couple thousand cheaper) than the OEM optional phone.

Replying to: jerryposner (Aug 02, 2005 4:09 pm) Thanks for the information...I think they are going to tell me they can't do a thing. I guess I'm just going to have to risk it for now.

Ever notice how much more estute and beautiful the car does look when you are staring at it standing on the ground, while it sits high and mighty up on the back of a flatbed?
#63 of 166 2005/2006 Quattroporte help by lvmodern Oct 01, 2005 (4:10 pm)
I'm hunting quattroporte. I've found service in vegas to be lousy- wynn won't even let you look at a car and I can't get a firm price from towbin on a used one that has already showed on ebay for too high with interior leather repairs- so I am wondering- anyone have any dealers within 250 miles that they are very happy with? also, since I finalized my decision the 2006 is now available. Does anyone know of any distinct differences between the two model years? I am assuming that this is the last ferrari year production...any word on what alfa intends to do? I've noticed that there are quite a few dealers (and owners) dumping 2005s on the market as of late- should I purchase a 2006 or should I wait until the used prices stabilize? It does appear that resale is going to take quite a hit in the next few weeks- I can't imagine all of the 2005 low mileages floating around will help much. There's a really beautiful 'new' 2005 in SLC, however. Any help/opinion would be most appreciated. Replies to this message: maseratiboi (Dec 21, 2005 7:04 pm)

Replying to: gearchanger (Jul 25, 2005 4:08 pm) Do you have the paddle shifter? I have an 05' GT; the downshifts are fine, the upshifts have always been problematic. At 8,000 miles the clutch is shot. Maserati's response to my warranty claim is for me to pound sand. Did you try to pursue a warranty claim? Thanks for your input,dc.

#65 of 166 What is the wheel bolt pattern on your cars? by paldi Dec 04, 2005 (7:09 pm)
Replying to: dougc (Nov 15, 2005 5:58 pm) I'm looking for alternative wheels. Mine are 5x112.

Replying to: dougc (Nov 15, 2005 5:58 pm) On my '05 Quattroporte, around 11,500 miles, clutch was making a little more noise, mostly from start and when cold. To my surprise, Maserati replaced the entire clutch, and did a software upgrade to new version. Shifts are much smoother now, in both manual and automatic. They also did a software upgrade to the engine managment and heating/AC systems, and did an upgrade (replacment) of engine mounts for smoother idle. Obviously no complaints so far to way I've been treated. Car is great for daily use, and have just put on a set of Michelin Sport AS to allow driving in the winter.   Pirelli Rossos, on the other hand, extremely poor wear on rear. Dealer says a number of cars are only getting about 8,000 miles on them.
