anyone have experiance with 2000-2004 maserati's? my wifes 300c is 3 years old and has 70k on the hemi looking at getting somthing else seems the prices on these maseratis are decent? maintenance cost??? thank oyu for any and all help. want to trade in the chrysler and get somthing we will use as more of a weekend car. i like the maserati because it will fit a car seat (we have a 11 month old) so im looking at the 2 door maserati and the 911 porsche non turbo 30k is the cutoff let me know your experiance Chris

The Porsche will be way more reliable & fun to drive in my opinion.. I had looked at Ferrari & Maserati once again before buying my new Porsche back a few months ago. I still was not as impressed with the value for the $$ of the others compared to the Porsche.. I have had several Porsche vehicles and will likely buy another.. For 30k You should be able to get a 996 and maybe even a 997 if the seller is very motivated and it has higer milage.. Granted the other stuff is nice too, but this is my opinion.. Jamie

Masher had a GT for a while and just sold it last year. Maybe he will chime in....

had a 2004 cambiocorsa awsome car , fast and handles great. 180 top speed and handles it. costly maintinence, expensive clutch. wish i still had it

junk, junk, junk.......buy the 911 instead.

My neighbor had one that spent more time on the wrecker than it did in his garage. He leased an A4 to drive while it was in the shop. BTW they are serviced by extremely expensive mechanics, in S. FL the Maserati dealer is also the Ferrari dealer.

My attorney bought a used 2007 Quattroporte (thinking he got a great deal) only to find it rode back to the shop on a flatbed 8 times in the first year he had it. He is now 23K upside down on the purchase............

Thought Masher had the new GT, not the Cambio Corsa.....

X2 this pretty much mirrors what I know about it. Got a client with one, Ive used it twice over three day weekends.

The quatroporte was junk- so was a porsche 924

The Cambiocorsa is in a vastly different league than an old Qporte

The P cars are nice, had a 911sc, and an 80 928 (talk about expensive maintenance) I think the late model Maseratis are awesome.

You are right. His was an 07' or something like that and never had a problem with it.

The GT was a totally new car and 100X better looking than the Cambio Corsa. I know a guy with one but he only has 3K miles on it and stares at it more than drives it!

Still lovin m 996.. Had it out for a rip with my wife for breakfast.. 70mi run was fun... You cant go wrong with the pooch.. Jamie

For a couple bucks more you could have a CL55 AMG. It's much bigger than a 911 and doesn't have the maintence issues like a Maserati. Car has 493hp/516tq....it's a beast.
