 I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend.  The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate.

The only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving.  We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked.  So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level.

This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true.  The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement.  The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items.  The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should.   I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service.

New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining.  A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00.  The fit is perfect.

The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears.  The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker.  Everything on the car works as it should.

There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass

While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb.

If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you.  The car shows like one with half the miles.  You will not be disappointed.

I invite and recommend a personal inspection.  The car is located in Mission Viejo, California.  While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. 

Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction.  By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder.

There is no warranty expressed or implied.

This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.

Maserati makes 328-foot-long trident with 80 Grecale test mules

Wed, Nov 17 2021

Maserati delayed the launch of the Grecale, its long-awaited second SUV, from November 2021 to the spring of 2022, but that doesn't mean the test mules and the engineers tasked with driving them are taking a sabbatical. The company is still testing prototypes all over the world, and it brought 80 pre-production models fully draped in camouflage to a test track in Modena, Italy, to create a giant trident emblem. Over 250 development models are racking up miles in Italy, Finland, the United Arab Emirates, China, Japan and the United States, according to the Italian firm. About a third of them gathered near the company's home town to form the 328-foot trident. It's a stunt that allowed Maserati to release a handful of cool images, but it teaches us little about the Levante's baby brother, which will be aimed at the Porsche Macan. Luckily, Maserati also released a couple of images that show four prototypes parked in front of the Milan Cathedral. We can tell that the Grecale borrows a handful of styling cues from the MC20; it's not simply a scaled-down Levante. Its headlights are oval and nearly vertical (the Levante's are thin and almost horizontal) and its grille looks wider and thinner. Earlier spy shots suggest that the Grecale wears a roofline that leans more towards sport than utility; it's not a utilitarian people-hauler with the proportions of a school bus. Unverified reports claim that Maserati will build the Grecale on an evolution of the Giorgio platform that underpins Alfa Romeo's Stelvio and Giulia models. If that's accurate, rear-wheel drive will likely come standard (at least in some markets) and all-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. We're guessing that four- and six-cylinder engines will be available, though full specifications haven't been published yet, and Maserati previously confirmed that a high-performance version worthy of the Trofeo emblem will join the range at some point.  More details about the Maserati Grecale will emerge in the coming months.  Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Maserati Grecale crossover gets a reveal date

Wed, Sep 22 2021

The Maserati Levante's little sibling, the Grecale, finally has an official reveal date. The compact luxury crossover will be unveiled on November 16 in Milan. That timing also comes just a few days before the L.A. Auto Show. The Grecale is sized to compete against the Porsche Macan, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, among others. Spy photos have revealed that its styling takes after the MC20 mid-engine sports car, particularly the oval grille shape and the narrow headlights that stretch back over the front fenders. Speaking of fenders, the rears are wide and curvy. The rear taillights are slender and wide. Maserati Grecale 13 View 13 Photos The big question mark for the Grecale is for the crossover's mechanicals. Strong possibilities include the turbocharged four-cylinder from the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, and the V6s from the Maserati Ghibli. It will also get a high-performance Trofeo variant, which would seem to suggest it would get a V8 like the rest of the Maserati Trofeo models. We should have the answers to this question and more this November. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

The Maserati MC20's new Nettuno V6 is a high-tech showpiece

Wed, Feb 17 2021

It's been more than two decades since Maserati was in the business of developing an in-house 90-degree V6 engine, and the last one it had traced its genealogy back 30 years. That story started in 1968, when Citroen took a controlling stake in Maserati, and the French requested that the Italians create an engine for the 1970 Citroen SM. Famed Maserati engineer Giulio Alfieri designed a 2.7-liter V6 producing 170 horsepower that could be built using Maserati's existing V8 tooling, hence the 90-degree angle. Alfieri then revised that V6 and bored it out to three liters, upping output to 187 hp, for use in the 1972 Maserati Merak. A decade later, Maserati – now owned by Alejandro de Tomaso, who had fired Alfieri — started with Alfieri's V6 philosophy when developing a mill for a new sports car. The resulting V6 unit, in 2.0-, 2.5-, and 2.8-liter displacements, was the first twin-turbocharged motor put into a production car. That car? The hot, gorgeous mess known as the 1984 Maserati BiTurbo. Almost 10 years on, the 1992 Maserati Ghibli II would get a 2.0-liter version of this 90-degree V6 making 306 horsepower. The 1995 Ghibli Cup turned that mill up to 330 hp, crowning the 2.0-liter V6 as the most power-dense engine in a production car, surpassing 1990s icons like the Jaguar XJ220 and original Bugatti EB110 (both 155 horsepower per liter). When the Ghibli exited production in 1998, Maserati ceded engine development duties to Ferrari by order of Fiat, which owned both automakers. 2022 Maserati MC20 View 47 Photos Nettuno, the new beating heart of Maserati Now we have the Nettuno, a 90-degree 3.0-liter V6 created to power Maserati's renaissance and making its debut in the chunky, aerodynamic form known as the MC20. At 630 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, the engine almost picks up where the Ghibli Cup left off: with 210 horsepower/liter, the Nettuno is one of the most power-dense in the world. The Bugatti Chiron, Ford GT, and McLaren 756LT don't crack 200 hp/l. The only production cars in the ballpark are Euro specials like the Mercedes-AMG A45 (208.4 hp/l). Beyond it are seven-figure hypercars like the SSC Tuatara (229 hp/l) and Koenigsegg Jesko (256 hp/l on gas, 320 hp/l on E85). The word we're looking for in Italian is bentornato. Welcome back, Maserati.
