2005 Maserati Coupe GT

The Maserati Coupe GT has turned out to be one of the used car bargains of the last decade. What was originally a car costing over $80,000 has now come down to a range where you can find second hand BMW 3 series and Mercedes-Benz C classes. While maintenance can sometimes be an issue, most of the problems boil down to the Cambiocorsa gearbox, which require frequent clutch replacements. Luckily, you can have a Coupe GT with a 6-speed manual and avert many of those issues. This red Coupe GT for sale in San Francisco is just one of those 6-speed coupes, having covered just shy of 25,000 miles.

2005 Maserati Coupe GT

An Executive Q-ship! Very unique 6 speed MANUAL Maserati Coupe GT in stunning red with a black interior and just 25,000 miles from new! The Skyhook suspension has been thoughtfully modified with lowering springs, and the car has a full (beautiful-sounding) Larini exhaust (stock exhaust included), and a Performance Dynamics Throttle Response module. With desirable options like the Auditorium 200 audio system, aluminium pedals, red contrasting stitching, navigation, factory fire extinguisher, and factory floor mats , this exquisite Italian beauty offers Ferrari-lelvel performance and looks at a Maserati price. This car has just been serviced and had brand new tires installed - it is ready to be driven and enjoyed!

The asking price is a little high for a Coupe GT 6-speed, but given this is a dealer it isn't too surprising. Over time, these cars will no doubt require a bit more care, attention and money than a similar German or American sports car, but for the entry price much less than a Ferrari, I view these as a great buy and certainly one that might appreciate over years to come.
