2005 Anniversary Edition Maserati Spyder

The most Highly optioned of this rare special edition. 

Thanks for looking at my rare Maserati Anniversary Edition Spyder. As far as I know, this is the most highly optioned of all the rare Anniversary Special Edition Spyders.

This is an exceptional car in excellent condition with only 10,8XX miles. It is number 21 of only 90 produced, finished in stunning Anniversary Blu over blue leather interior, having the original window sticker and factory books. Powered by the Ferrari 4.2L V8 producing 390 HP. 

I have included a picture of the window sticker- in addition to the long list of standard features of this special edition car, here is a quick list of the extra options equipped from the factory: 

CD Changer $695

Handy Fire Extinguisher $485 (I still get a kick out of this)

Heat and memory driver seats $720

5 Piece fitted Luggage set $2390 (still in their protective bags)

Radio, Navigation, GPS, and GSM Phone $3985

Park Distance Control $610

Skyhook Suspension $2390

Xenon Headlights $1205 

There is also a dealer installed Clear Bra on the nose and exterior mirrors of the car (see pictures) saving the paint from typical stone chips. 

I am the second owner, we bought this car in March of 2008 with 8,200 miles. It has been great to own, there have not been any repairs necessary, just a battery replacement- I installed a high-end Optima Red Top battery. The engine and clutch have always been flawless, running very smooth and strong. The car has had oil changes with synthetic oil every year. The interior and exterior of the car are great, and all the equipment works well including the power top. Note that other than the new battery, the car is completely stock including the small factory mounted antenna on the trunk. 

The AC is cold, the Spyder has never been smoked in and never been on a race track. Living in Wisconsin, the car is garage kept in a climate controlled garage, I have only driven in the summer, the car has never seen rain. Clean Carfax. Included in the sale are all books and manuals, 2 keys, original window sticker and radio code cards. 

The exterior paint is great. No door dings, a few minor stone marks, most in the clear bra material, hard to tell if they actually even penetrated to the underlying paint. The rims are good with no curb rash. The interior is great, the leather is soft and supple. The car has never been in an accident. The car has always run and handled well, and always passed the WI emissions. 

Info about me: I have been a “car guy” since my teenage years, and have owned many high-end and exotic cars including many Ferrari’s, Porches, Lotus, etc. I think most people would assume that an owner must be wealthy to own such cars, but for me it has been a very low cost hobby. I have always acquired rare, second hand low mileage cars. I have never purchased new. In doing so, I have enjoyed the cars for years, and been able to sell them for very close to the price that I have paid. It has been such a low cost hobby that my wife enjoys it with me! This car will provide the same benefits to the new owner- the value should remain stable or increase. 

The reason for the sale: I had owned the car a bit less than a year when we found my wife of 25 years was expecting our first child. Upon my daughters arrival, the 3 of us needed a back seat. Now that she is almost 5, I want her to enjoy the hobby we have loved for more than 30 years. Of all the cars I have owned, this has been my favorite and it is being replaced with a newer Maserati Spyder (standard with a back seat!).   

A word about buying vehicles on EBay: 95% of the cars available on eBay are listed by dealerships. Although dealership listings look good, you do not know the cars history. The dealer has acquired the car in one of two ways- by trade or at auction. Buying directly from an owner provides the best link to accurate information. Note that I have sold several cars on EBay and have over 600 transactions that are 100% positive. 

I am currently marketing the car locally, and reserve the right to cancel the auction prior to the auction end if it sells. All serious bidders are welcome to view and drive the car prior to the end of the auction, with the understanding that if the car is how I have described it here, I will expect you to bid on the car prior to the auction end. In other words, I do not want to show the car if the current bid price is out of your budget, or if you are just looking. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. My cell is 414-750-5007. 

A $2,000 deposit by PayPal is due within 24 hours of auction end, and balance by wire or cashiers check within 7 days of auction end. Please do not bid if you do not intend or cannot pay for the car. If you have feedback of less than 3, or negative feedback for non-payment, you must contact me prior to bidding, or your bid will be automatically canceled. Transportation, delivery and any fees or costs of licensing the car in your state are the responsibility of the winner. The car will be released as soon as funds have cleared. The car is lien free with title in hand. Thanks for looking, and good luck bidding on this great exotic!

Bizarre Levante mule proves SUV will ride on Maserati platform

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

When Chrysler was developing the current Jeep Cherokee, matte black, lifted Alfa Romeo Giuliettas weren't an unusual site around the company's Auburn Hills, MI headquarters. That's because the Jeep rides on a modified version of the Alfa's platform.
Judging by these images, Maserati is following a similar path for the upcoming Levante. The presence of the modified and lifted Ghibli basically confirms that the company will look in-house for the new CUV's platform rather than outsource it to Jeep (otherwise, we'd be seeing modified Grand Cherokees running about).
The mule's Ghibli body has been fitted with a number of tweaks. Most notable are the higher roof and stretched wheel arches, which we're guessing are an attempt at increasing the sedan's center of gravity and width, respectively, in a bid to match the eventual production model.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.

Lazareth LM847 packs a Maserati V8 into a leaning quad frame

Tue, Mar 1 2016

You want to know what insanity looks like? This is it. It's called the Lazareth LM847, and to boil it down to its essence, it's basically a sport bike built around a Maserati V8. Now this isn't the first motorcycle we've seen packing a giant car engine. There've been more custom jobs than we could list here, and of course there's the Boss Hoss – an American cruiser with a 5.7-liter Chevy V8 at its heart. And we'd be loathe to leave out the V10-powered Tomahawk concept from this discussion. But this is another matter entirely. The LM847 is made by a French outfit called Lazareth. It's the same company responsible for the Wazuma quad bike, the Wazuma GT roadster, and that bonkers Renault Twingo with the Range Rover V8 in the back. In other words, Lazareth knows crazy, and hasn't skimped on it this time. For its latest project, Lazareth started with a 4.7-liter V8 – the kind you used to find the Quattroporte or Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione before Maserati started downsizing and bolting on turbos. It produces 470 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque, channeled through a single-speed hydraulic coupling in place of a multi-gear transmission. Strictly speaking, it's not a motorcycle, but a quad – owing to the tandem wheels at each end. But it has a saddle and handlebars, and looks like it would lean in a fair bit in the turns. We're not about to find out though, because we don't have a death wish. Related Video:
