Supragaz Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi All, Will soon be getting myself nice car again at long last (Been over 2yrs since I sold my beloved facelift TT6) and was thinking of getting something a bit different this time around. Has anyone ever owned or known someone who has owned a Maserati 3200? Am thinking maybe servicing and parts being on the expensive side but not sure of reliability and performance etc. Love the sound of the V8 and will be a first for me as stuck to Supras in the past. Got a budget of around £11k so any other recommendations will be much appreciated. Oh, and I havent ruled out having another Supra yet, although I would be very very fussy and insist that it was a facelift TT6 again as that was by far the best car I have ever owned.

gaz1 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 i very nearly bought one a while back, but then i asked around and decided against, they are very expensive to repair/service and are not very reliable, there is a thread i asked the same questions on here before;) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=170688 there you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I read up on them mate. Lovely cars, but the running costs are said to be astronomical. If you do a search on here, there is a few threads regarding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragaz Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah I think I will give the Masser a wided berth. Any thoughts on the Audi S4, Jag XKR or E46 M3? Cheers Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Out of that list the S4 sounds most appealing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 S4? Surely you mean RS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 S4? Surely you mean RS4? Nope, the S4 has a 4.2 V8 and plenty of power, although not ruling out the RS4. Just not that keen on the earlier shape models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I drove a Maser Cabrio Cambo back in '03 and it broke. The car was completely stuffed for the sake of a spare fuse! I hear they're not much better these days - and if you're looking at second hand ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 For your budget i would deffo say your best bet would be an E46 M3, might have to stretch a TINY bit though. Actually here is a beauty for very good money, the colour is lovely in the flesh IMO. I know most guys here hate them and bmw owners but theyre a very nice comfy fast car http://pistonheads.com/sales/1017204.htm EDIT: Or this http://pistonheads.com/sales/994781.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
