2005 Anniversary Edition Maserati Spyder - The Most Highly Optioned! on 2040-cars
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
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! |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Little Red Racing Car Kickstarter project a father/son affair [w/video]
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Tales of fathers and sons, whether told for adults or for children, never go out of style. It's appropriate then that The Little Red Racing Car, a story about a father and son finding and restoring a 1955 Maserati 300S, is such a stylish piece of work.
Author Dwight Knowlton first started working on The Little Red Racing Car when, after his son was born, he "went looking for the perfect Father/Son/Car book" and couldn't find one. Knowlton's artwork in has been influenced heavily by vintage automotive advertising and Grand Prix posters, and has a very clean, art deco vibe as a result.
Of course, TLRRC is still just a work in progress. Knowlton is hoping the Kickstarter community will help to get the ball rolling, and raise $25,000 to the book printed and distributed. The author even has a stretch goal to have the whole shebang made into and animated film - we love big dreams. Follow on below to hear Knowlton's pitch in his own words, or jump over to his Kickstarter page to look further or buy-in.
100th Anniversary Maserati Ghibli stars in the 2014 Neiman Marcus catalog
Thu, 09 Oct 2014Each year, retailer Neiman Marcus releases a Christmas catalog detailing some truly absurd gifts. Chief among them is a Neiman Marcus edition car. Usually from a luxury or exotic manufacturer, the Neiman Marcus models are a limited edition and generally sell out very quickly. Past participants have included the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, McLaren MP4-12C Spider, Ferrari FF and, the most plebian car in recent memory, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. For this year's catalog, the Maserati Ghibli is up for purchase.
Not only will it make a great Christmas gift for the ultra wealthy, but this $95,000 Maser also pays tribute to the Italian automaker's 100th anniversary. Based on the top-of-the-line S Q4 model, this Ghibli adds a few unique features, including bespoke 20-inch wheels with centennial center caps and a black border for the grille.
The cabin features premium leather in Cuoiu, which is basically tan. Black contrast stitching can be found throughout the cabin and on the Tridents stitched into the headrests, while bespoke piano black trim rounds out the interior. Finally, the center console bears a badge denoting the Ghibli's unique edition number.
