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.

Check out the Maserati Levante's not-finished interior

Mon, Jan 25 2016

Maserati continues to develop the Levante luxury crossover years after previewing it as the Kubang concept, but new spy shots give us the best look yet at the interior of this long-awaited CUV. Our spies think we could finally see the production version as soon as the Geneva Motor Show in March. Look past the giant computer screen, keyboard, and rat's nest of wires to get an idea of what Maserati has in store for the Levante's wealthy occupants. The company fits the luxury crossover with thickly bolstered leather seats to hold front passengers tight, and the driver grips a three-spoke steering wheel. A piece of cloth partially covers the infotainment system, but its position echoes the one on the Ghibli. A wood-trimmed center console features several buttons, including a large control dial. This Levante's exterior camouflage and cladding hide a lot, but it's clear that the design sticks fairly close to last year's patent drawings. The big hump on the roof also can't hide the coupe-like arch that leads to the rear hatch. Maserati's crossover uses a tweaked version of the platform from the Ghibli and Quattroporte and likely shares their turbocharged V6 and V8 engines, too. The Italian company has high hopes that the Levante's mix of luxury and performance appeals to customers in the booming CUV segment because a success could turn around the brand's flagging sales. However, the vehicle needs to compete in a rapidly crowding market of high-priced entries that would soon include models like the Bentley Benayga, Lamborghini Urus, and Aston Martin DBX.

2015 Maserati Ghibli gets the lightest of updates [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Maserati continued its centennial celebration this week with a lightly updated version of the 2015 Ghibli at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The sedan is enhanced with navigation and Bluetooth features, which are now standard. Reinforcing that this is a light refresh, Maserati gave the brake calipers a new finish, and contrasted stitching is also added on the Ghibli and Ghibli SQ4 models.
Maserati is also throwing in a free three-month "all-access" subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio for the Ghibli, Quattroporte and GranTurismo.

Ferrari, Maseratis trashed in Chinese off-road adventure

Tue, Apr 5 2016

Ready to cringe? A group of Chinese motorists drove the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in a fleet of Italian cars, fording streams and hopping rocky terrain as they went. Well, they attempted to drive it, anyway. Only five of the cars managed to survive the truly unnecessary ordeal. The trip was reportedly the idea of a wealthy Chinese businessman named Ni Haishan. Haishan was driving the red Ferrari F12, with his employees following in what appear to be 10 Maserati Ghibli sedans. The Maseratis were gifts to his employees, which makes the loss of six of them along the way only slightly easier to stomach. Even the cars that made it to the finish line in Lhasa, Tibet, arrived with some serious damage. The unsurprising fallout included several wheels and tires on the Ferrari, including one wheel that took the studs it was attached to with it. As you can see above, the "highway" route was not exactly suited to these particular cars. There is some precedent for a car from Maranello driving to Lhasa, however. In 2005, Ferrari sent two 612 Scagliettis on a tour of China called "Ferrari 15,000 Red Miles" with various journalists at the wheel. That journey started and ended in Shanghai and took the cars all over the vast country, including two crossings of the Gobi Desert, along the Great Wall, and on some of Marco Polo's route. Of course, it also involved a lot of planning, a huge support team, and at least a modicum of common sense. All of this was supposedly Haishan's way of showing the world that business is good for him and that customers should trust their money with him. We might conclude otherwise based on the results. If you absolutely have to run this road in something Italian and expensive, may we suggest a Maserati Levante next time?
