Up for sale is my wife's beloved Spyder. This is her third such car since 2004. She has owned it as her daily driver since 2008. We purchased it used from a dealer with 59K miles on it, so I do not know anything about it prior to that time. We had very few mechanical issues over our ownership, but she drives approximately 40 miles each way to work and has put some miles on it. She has purchased another Spyder (now her fourth) with lower miles, so this is the only cause for our selling this car at this time. 

The title is clean with a clear CARFAX report. The car was in a minor traffic accident years ago while we owned it. A woman bumped us in stop and go city traffic and her front license plate frame punctured the rear bumper cover but did not compress any underlying structures. The only damage was cosmetic: we had the rear bumper cover replaced. Total cost to fix was under $700. Repaired by insurance company supervised shop. The original transmission failed last year, so the current transmission has only approximately 80K miles on it. It was dealer installed as a used unit in 2013.

All options, accessories, and components work as designed on the vehicle at this time, though the car will be sold as is and no warranty is expressed or implied by the information here. In short, if it has a button, it operates, including: Power Windows/Locks, Door/Alarm Remotes, Power Top, Factory CD, Interior and Exterior Lighting, Power Outlets, and all Controls. Rear defroster is the lone exception here. No check engine lights or other sensor issues are known. The top does not leak, save for in high pressure car washes as is typical of Eclipse Spyders of all model years.

Very clean daily driver with the following minor cosmetic issues:

Paint: No delamination or oxidation.Small section of hood and  fenders have small areas of Duplicolor paint to hide deeper road rash, but no rust or bubbling present. Several sanding marks in preparation for repaint due to normal road wear. Wife bought new car in stead, so I will sell this car rather than continue to restore it. Needs only clear coat respray to remove sanding marks. Most marks disappear with good hand waxing. Chose to disclose marks rather than mask them with wax in the name of full disclosure. All paint issues can be resolved with TLC without the need to spray whole body, but if we kept it, we planned on doing so anyway, thus the present condition. Minor door dings along passenger side, all but one are smaller than a dime. The one larger is about three inches long. All will pop out without the need for paint using a service like Pop-A-Dent. One chip (half inch) under driver door from rock needs filling.

Interior: Factory leather from another car of same vintage. This car came with a cloth interior from the factory. Missing Driver Seat Lumbar Lever. Thus car has never been smoked in, however, since the seats came form another vehicle, there is a solitary cigarette (?) mark in the back, driver-side seat cushion. Had the seats three days before I noticed it. Very small and in inconspicuous location. Passenger side door vinyl has a small tear which can be colored to camouflage or repaired using vinyl kit. Both are smaller than a pencil in diameter. The rear interior panels especially have scuffs from kids getting in and out over the years, but none are cracked or punctured.  Both door thresholds are scuffed and should be replaced, but are serviceable left as are.

Wheels: Several scratches in factory alloy wheels.

Single known unresolved mechanical issue: Rear window defroster does not heat.

New parts (Replaced this summer): AC Compressor and Drier, AC Control Panel, Blower Motor Resistor, Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Drive Belts, Idler Pulley, Front Sway Bar Links, Air Filter, Wiper Blades, Headlamps.

Newer parts (Replaced last summer): Timing belt and Tensioner, Water Pump, Spark Plugs/Wires, Tires, Brakes (Calipers, Pads, Shoes), Interior Carpet/Padding, Oxygen Sensor, Battery. 

Please feel free to ask any questions needed to help you bid with confidence. Remember, this was my wife's car which we counted on to get her over 80 miles a day round trip and never lost sleep worrying about it leaving her stuck. Very sound throughout. This is not an auction car, or one someone is selling to make a profit with. We believe this car has many more reliable miles left in her. If you want a fun, head-turning car to drive on a daily basis, this is your best bet! I have set a very low reserve for this auction given the overall clean condition of the vehicle. I expect to sell this car during this listing, so I respectfully reserve the right to end the listing early if I sell it locally.

Maserati showcasing opulent Levante options in New York

Sat, Apr 13 2019

Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley said last year that it was a mistake to pair Maserati with Alfa Romeo because it suggested Maserati was a mass-market brand. Now on its own, this year the house of the trident begins to unfurl its luxury wings. The Ghibli, Quattroporte, and GranTurismo Convertible will be on hand, but focus rests on the Levante SUV for the New York Auto Show. Maserati plans North American debuts of its One of One Customization Program and the brand-exclusive Pelletessuta interior designed by Ermenegildo Zegna. One of One ushers Maserati buyers into the same realm of possibilities that BMW's Individual or Porsche Exclusiv does for those German brands, the standard over the gateway reading, "Anything is Possible." Up to now, the GranTurismo - the carmaker's second-oldest offering - has offered the greatest range of customization. Yet those stock choices in hue and finish pale when compared to One of One's "thousands of interior and exterior options" wrought by "Italian artisanal craftsmanship." As Maserati did in Geneva when debuting the program, a celebrity will visit the New York show stand to take delivery of "their never seen before" One of One Levante GTS. The general population gets the keys to the One of One program "in the near future." The other show car will be a bronze Zegna Levante S Q4 GranSport with the new Pelletessuta woven Nappa leather interior. Said to be a lightweight material created by the Italian fashion house, both durable and comfortable, Pelletessuta will only be available in Maseratis. The carmaker seems to have done us a disservice by posting photos of the material in black, or perhaps they're trying to lure us to the show to see it for ourselves. The new leather won't be available in North America until spring of 2020, so if your mind had already begun considering a calico-cat-matched One of One interior in a Gattara-colored Ghibli, it's going to be a minute.

Orange 2007 Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa is a 755-hp track tiger, and it's for sale

Sat, Mar 7 2020

Maserati will enter a new era when it launches an all-new vehicle called the MC20 in May. As the name tips, the upcoming super sports car will be the spiritual successor to the MC12, one of the greatest Maseratis (and greatest cars) ever produced. So the timing couldn't have matched up any better when the ultimate form of the MC12 popped up for sale. Girardo & Co. is currently offering an orange-over-black MC12 Versione Corsa, one of only 12 ever built, and it is undeniably special. Girardo touts the MC12 Corsa as the most powerful Maserati ever built, not surprising considering the Ferrari Enzo-sourced MC12 was related to a race car. The MC12 was the road-going homologated version of the MC12 GT1, which dominated during its time in international GT racing. The GT1 had an air-restricted 6.0-liter V12 that made 580 bhp, while the MC12 made 630. But the Corsa was different. The Corsa, which is not street-legal and is intended for non-competitive track use only, is based on the GT1, but it didn't have to play by all of the rules and regulations required of a race car. That meant no air intake restrictions. With the shackles off, the Corsa's V12 increased its output to 755 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. Weighing in at 2,535 pounds without liquids, thanks in part to the carbon fiber and Nomex honeycomb sandwich monocoque, the Corsa is capable of a 202.5-mph top speed. Maserati claims zero to 124 mph in 6.4 seconds. Gear work is handled by a six-speed sequential semi-automatic Cambiocorsa gearbox, and stopping power comes from carbon ceramic brakes. Whereas Maserati built 50 examples of the MC12 road car, the Corsa model was significantly more limited. In total, 13 examples were built, and one was a prototype. This specific car, chassis No. ZAMDF44B000029631, is No. 8 of 12, and it has an interior plaque that says, "Commemorates the victory at its maiden long distance race the 24hrs of Spa. A first in racing history." Originally, the cars were offered to top-tier customers through invitation to purchase the vehicle for $1.1 million, by today's conversion rates.  Although the price is not listed, we expect today's purchase number to be significantly higher. In 2017, a different Corsa was listed for $2.75 million. Check out more details and photos on Girardo & Co. Related Video:    

Maserati Alfieri Concept lands on US shores ahead of 2016 production model

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

America, meet the next sports car from Maserati. This is the Alfieri Concept, and it made the trip from Europe to make its US debut during the 2014 Monterey Car Week.
The two-door originally made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and has since made an ear-pleasing visit to the UK before it arrived at today's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
For those that need a refresher, the Alfieri is a 2+2 that will, when it arrives in 2016, be available with a 410-, 450- or 520-horsepower V6, with the latter two power levels coming with an all-wheel-drive system. The Alfieri Coupe will be joined by a convertible in 2017.
