1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs Spyder Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:159720

Boaz, Alabama, United States

 Car has been my daily driver for a while.  I will tell you what I know about it (I'm not a mechanic).

- I have kept the oil changed, changed the plugs recently.  Car starts first time, every time, runs like a top and has never failed me.

- It is fun to drive, and gets a look now and then.  Spring and summer days with the top down are the best.

- I am selling it because I have a new baby and with the four of us now, this car is a bit small.   I had to upsize.

The Good:

As I said, it starts up every time. 
It gets good gas mileage, up to 30 HWY if driven gently.
Has a very good set of tires.
A/C works great, even in the Alabama heat.
I have never had a mechanical issue with the car.
It is GREAT fun to drive.

The Bad:

The car has a small oil leak somewhere.  I put in a quart every three weeks or so, no biggie.
The convertible top motor is disabled.  I don't know if it's been disconnected or what.  The switch works, because the windows roll down automatically when you push it.  It's very easy to lower/raise by hand, so I just did that.  I didn't feel a need to get it looked at.
The driver's door handle was broken by an oil change "specialist", (thanks Wal-Mart).  I have a replacement handle that I have yet to put on.  If I don't get it on before sale, I will include it with the vehicle.

Vehicle sold "AS-IS" with no warranty implied.

Maserati ditches hydraulic steering to add semi-autonomous driver aids

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — One of the distinctive aspects of modern Maseratis has been the continued use of hydraulic-assisted power steering. The company used it on the entire lineup from the Ghibli sedan to the GranTurismo sports coupe, touting in press releases that in comparison to now-common electric power steering, it "prevents unpleasantly artificial assistance when the driver turns the wheel quickly." Priorities appear to have changed, though, as the 2018 Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante are all going with electric steering. Those priorities would be adding a gaggle of semi-autonomous driving assists, which as Maserati CEO Reid Bigland confirmed, require electric power steering to fully implement. Specifically, the highway lane-centering, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot assist functions that can steer for you if necessary. Other new semi-autonomous functions include sign recognition, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. This may come as a disappointment to die-hard Maserati fans, but at the very least, the GranTurismo and GranCabrio sports cars still retain the classic hydraulic steering system. They also don't get the semi-autonomous features, but let's face it, those cars are ones you want to always be driving. As for the rest of the lineup, Bigland insisted the steering is still good. Of course you wouldn't expect anything less from the company's CEO. We'll reserve judgement until driving a 2018 Maserati ( that isn't a GranTurismo) to see if the new steering avoids being "unpleasantly artificial." Related Video:

Maserati Alfieri Concept draws from the brand's past, looks to its future

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

We may be just as (if not more) used to the idea of Maserati making four-door passenger cars as we are of Porsche or Aston Martin doing the same, but the Trident marque is no less routed in producing sports cars than its German and British rivals. The trouble is that, now seven years on the market, the GranTurismo is Maserati's only two-door model, and it's growing a little long in the tooth to serve as the brand's halo car. Especially when it starts looking back at its history on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. So to mark the milestone, and reconnect with its more sporting past, Maserati has rolled in to Geneva with the concept car you see here.
It's called the Alfieri, and we've been anticipating its unveiling since (if not long before) rumors surfaced last week of its impending arrival, followed by confirmation from the manufacturer and the leaked images we brought you mere hours ago. But now it's been unveiled in the metal.
The Alfieri's wheelbase is 9.5 shorter than the GranTurismo, but packs the same 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated V8.

2018 Maserati Ghibli gets new lights and grille

Tue, Mar 14 2017

It's been nearly four years since Maserati introduced the 2014 Ghibli, and it's soldiered on largely unchanged. Finally, Maserati is prepping a respectable facelift front and rear. The changes seem to be concentrated on headlights and grilles. The lights now appear to have a chrome or aluminum highlight that curves upward, dividing the LED running lights from the rest of the lighting. This is a distinct difference from the current highlight that curves downward. Also, the grille now looks to have a more rounded shape, closer to the oval grilles of early- and mid-2000s Maseratis. The lower grille also seems to have smaller inlets at each corner. At the back, the rear bumper has clearly been reworked. Unfortunately, the giant black diaper covering it reveals absolutely nothing. Aside from these changes, the rest of the new Ghibli looks the same. Because this is clearly a mid-cycle refresh, we expect to see the car fully revealed by the end of the year, with vehicles hitting the lots early next year. Related Video:
