For Sale is my 2001 MR2 Spyder  - Turbo'd with only 79k miles

I have enjoyed driving this MR2 spyder in the Colorado sunshine for around 8-9 years. I purchased the car when it had 23k miles on it from a person that moved to Colorado from California. So the car has always been in a dry climate. I have the title so we will not be delayed with bank transactions. With a curb weight of only 2190 the MR2 is very light. Add a turbo application and you create a very fast and fun ride.  The boost is currently at 10psi for winter driving. During the warm months the boost is  adjusted to 15-20 psi and produces 350 horse-power at the wheels. There has been allot of time and money invested into this ride. Below I have listed all the modifications I could think of and an estimate of what the cost for each option has been.  It is amazing how much money gets spent making our cars fun and I realize we don't get that money back when its time to resell. Below represents $12,730 of value just in parts without any labor cost. This car is offered at a great price!

I consider myself a very picky person with cars. My family has drag raced sport compact cars for many years with multiple magazine features and one of our race cars featured at SEMA. This car is very clean. No rust ever on the car. No tears or fading in the interior. The new convertible top was installed in 2013. There is one small ding on the front fender and door. There is also some paint that has flaked on the passenger corner of the front fender. This is a really nice ride and very fast. You can see I have 100% feedback most of which is buying. I have sold one car on ebay around 6 years ago that went very smooth. I have added a couple pictures from last spring you can see with the colors turning in the leaves. Also pictures I had of the parts when they were installed new.

Seller will be responsible for all transportation set up and cost. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. You are more than welcome to pick the car up here in Denver, Colorado. I also welcome any pre inspections at my home. The car does not come with any type of warrenty and I am not aware of any mechanical issues. Good luck bidding! Someone will end up owning a great car.

Dealer sues Maserati for fabricating sales numbers

Fri, Sep 4 2015

A Maserati dealer with stores in New York, New Jersey, and Florida is suing Maserati North America for allegedly requesting that they inflate sales or receive lower incentives. The plaintiff in this case refused to participate and claims that it unfairly lost profits as a result, according to Automotive News. The lawsuit hinges on a request from FCA that its dealers move vehicles into their test-drive fleet, a practice called punching them. Most stores keep at least one example of each model in their demonstrator fleet. While they don't immediately go to a customer, a punched vehicle appears as a sale for an automaker at the end of the month. This case alleges that Maserati North America told its dealers in September 2014 to punch 2015 Ghiblis, even though the sedans hadn't been delivered yet. As a result, the Italian automaker was able to post an additional 105 sales for the month. Furthermore, the stores purportedly received additional bonuses when they later sold these models to customers, and there was possibly another request to claim vehicles as demonstrators in December 2014, Automotive News reports. Amid rapidly growing global demand, Maserati increased Ghibli and Quattroporte production to 900 cars per week in mid-2014. However, the company had to reverse course in 2015 and cut back shifts at its Grugliasco factory. The launch of the upcoming Levante crossover is expected to bring another boost.

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:

Slow Chinese market delays Maserati and Alfa Romeo models

Thu, Dec 3 2015

We already told you that Alfa Romeo was delaying the Giulia sedan and an unnamed CUV, but now things are getting worse. According to Bloomberg, Maserati has delayed the Alfieri sports car. And it's all China's fault. The faltering Chinese domestic market, which is experiencing its slowest period of growth in nearly three decades, is forcing Fiat Chrysler to rethink its plans for its Italian models, Bloomberg reports. Rather than going for models that would likely be popular in China, including the Alfa CUV and a larger sedan, the company will shift its focus and bring out updated MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks, both of which would play better in Europe, an unnamed source within FCA told Bloomberg. This news is notable because it shows that FCA boss Sergio Marchionne's ambitious product transformation is not progressing as smoothly as planned. In the MiTo's case, the company is willing to go back on its original strategy. The subcompact hatch wasn't supposed to survive beyond 2016, but Bloomberg is reporting an update is due by the middle of next year. As for Maserati, well, there's not much to say. The Alfieri was supposed to go on sale next year, and now it's not. There's no word on how (or even if) Maserati's priorities will shift to another vehicle, or if this is simply a matter of money being distributed away from one of FCA's brands and toward another.
