A purchase recommendation in the category: “You live but once”. A Maserati owning is a dream for many, a dream since Maserati under the care of Ferrari operates is less of a nightmare.

The official name of the 4200 GT is, incidentally, Maserati Coupe or Spyder. Followed In 2004 a facelift and from then on used Maserati the name GranSport. All names will be cheerfully used interchangeably, what is the search on the AutoScout24 somewhat difficult. The predecessor was the 3200 GT twinturbo 3.2 litre V8 and fantastic boomerang taillights. For the 4200 GT had that violent element districts, but the rest of the Giugiaro design remained virtually unchanged.

In this advice video we will cover only the 4200 GT with the atmospheric -Ferrari-built – 4,2 litre V8.

Offer used cars

• On AutoScout24 are a small 30 bella machina’s on a new owner to wait.
• About 30% of the offer are Spyders, the cabriolet so.
• For a manual gearbox you should have a good look.
• Prices start at 20,000 euros.

Pros

• Majestic V8 sourced from Ferrari.
• Still exclusive.
• Relatively more reliable.
• Relatively inflation-proof.
• It is a Maserati.

Issues

• It’s a Italian car, so be sure to check the operation of all electrical/ electronic features. Known weak points are:
  – The height adjustment of the electric seats.
  – The bags of the window to open the door.
  – The operation of the cruise control.
• Given the age of the roestduivel his head off, check the trunk of the car, the transition between tail lights and bumper and the wielkastranden.
• The bottom of the boot (under the spare wheel) would like to moist.
• CambioCorsa automatic gearbox: the gearbox must have all the software updates have had. Check in addition, when the F1 pump was replaced. The relay of the F1 pump can be better every year to be replaced.
• Check on cars with a manual gearbox, or the first and second gear easily can be selected.
• The engine is just one of the great improvements over the 3200 GT, but check to make sure the oil is reasonably clean and transparent. A restless current V8 at idle can also be an indication of various problems. If the engine is warm the oil pressure is about 5 bar at 2000 revs per minute.
