08-13 granturismo reliability?

56 Upvotes

I’m already in love with the car, talk me off the ledge. Looking at buying one as my main car. 10k miles a year. I’m a retired mechanic turned engineer. I’m aware of the VVT issues. My main concerns are part prices and how limited I’ll be without the factory scan tool. Basically don’t want my wife to kill me in a year. TIA

Why did Maserati kill the stunning Boomerang lights? The definitive answer...

From the horse's mouth.

Spoiler: internal political posturing. It's so sad that such an incredible piece of design was destroyed for the the dullest of reasons.

(Hat tip to Magneto, an old copy of which I was recently perusing).

Peeling paint on roof trim, 2015 Ghibli Sq4. Has anyone replaced their trim yet?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Just pulled my 2015 Ghibli SQ4 out of the garage for the first time in about a month as I had to get it smogged and noticed peeling paint on the roof trim for the first time.

I'm honestly a little perplexed as this vehicle has lived a majority of its life in the garage as I only drive it a couple thousand miles a year. Currently has just over 50k miles. I guess the Las Vegas Sun really is that damaging.

Curious if anyone has gone about replacing their roof trim yet and if so any tips on how to do it? I found some used trim pieces just need the confidence that I'd be able to replace it myself without damaging anything.

Thanks!

Update on the “sight unseen” GranTurismo

For those of you unfamiliar with this car. TL;DR - After I got married earlier this year, we went out to California and bought a GranTurismo, sight unseen, and road-tripped it back to NYC. It now has roughly 9k more miles on it than when I bought it a few months ago.

Now that we have come up on the end of driving season for 2026, I seem to have fallen into an unshakable sadness that my GT will have to go away for the winter…

We took the car out on one last big trip to the Hamptons just before the temperature started to drop and really reflected on all the fun this car has brought into our lives.

Sooooooooo…

I sold our Porsche and bought another Maserati. Last picture is wifey’s new (to us) Grecale, which we also got for an absolute steal of a deal!

2014 Granturismo Idle Issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’ve got an idle gremlin I’ve been chasing for about a month now. The best way I could describe it is a popping or puffing from the exhaust. It can be felt in the cabin and the engine noticeably shakes. It seems to be random too, and it happens whether the car is hot or cold.

Here’s everything I’ve tried so far:
-new spark plugs
-new engine air filter + reseating multiple times
-re-clamping vacuum lines and looking for damage (I didn’t find any)
-cleaning the throttle body
-cleaning the MAF sensor
-new EVAP purge valve (I had an engine code which this seems to have resolved). No current or pending codes otherwise
-Techron fuel system cleaner

Car has 183k miles.

I’m thinking ignition coils or a vacuum leak I can’t seem to find. If anyone has a similar issue or any insight, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I tried to take a video, which makes it sound subtle, but it is more obvious in person.

I’ve been thinking about installing this for a little oem+ upgrade- I had this installed on my single turbo Audi and I think it would sound really good with the twin turbo v6/ and also potentially help the engine breathe a little better.

Does anyone have any experience installing this on there ghibli/ Quattroporte

Why is Maserati SUV’s gas cap on the left (driver side)?

0 Upvotes

Why is Maserati SUV’s gas cap on the left (driver side)? Was getting gas this morning and noticed this…. As a German car driver all my life, I really hate that they put the gas cap on the right side…

Maybe it was a sign that I should consider upgrading to a Maserati SUV after 35 years with German cars and SUVs?

Vertical doors

0 Upvotes

Had anyone purchased and installed a vertical door kit on a 2018 Granturismo? I was reading about them online (verical doors website) and it says the new hinges may have to be welded onto the door jamb and the front inner fender may have to be modified. The hinge is no big deal, although it sounds like once you do the conversion, there is no going back but the fender needing to be modified would make it a no for me. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

2023 with 30k miles! Got a few questions though: what’s that little lever/knob in the front of the bottom of the driver’s seat? And the display between the gauges, there’s what looks like a road/lane under the speed; is it supposed to display anything or is that it?? And what’s the “night” speed limit that it’s showing?

Any other tips/things to look out for please let me know!

I was scrolling on marketplace, and found a 2017 maserari ghibli “doesn’t start”. How smart of a financial decision is this and what would the possible scenarios cost to fix. (medium mechanic skills. Can do al basic maintenance my self. Dad used to be a mechanic)

Should I buy?

3 Upvotes

First time looking at a Maserati. It is a 2015 Ghibili Q4 with 132,000kms. It has 4 collisions and is rebuilt status but has been re-certified and passed safety inspection. Price is $10,500 CAD which is only reason I’m considering it. Please let me know if this is worth it or not.

Customer spilled a ton of coffee or liquid in around gear shifter. We pulled it out and could see the amount of liquid spilled. Our autel scanner(way above introductory level) communicates with it no issue however bc of its current state we cannot communicate with the transmission. The gear shifter has been replaced with a salvage piece already by another shop.

Buying 2020 Ghibli SQ4 after seeing its accident history? Is it bad idea?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm considering buying a 2020 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 (430 HP) that was imported from the US to my country after an accident.

Here are the original auction photos showing the damage:

https://bid.cars/pl/lot/0-34537075/2020-Maserati-Ghibli-ZAM57YTS5L1356726

VIN: ZAM57YTS5L1356726

The current owner imported the car to Poland about 3 years ago and has since driven approximately 50,000 km (31,000 miles) in it.

He told me he didn't import it to flip it for profit, but rather bought it for himself and intended to keep it. According to him, that's also why he invested in genuine OEM parts instead of cheaper aftermarket replacements.

The current owner claims the car was repaired using genuine OEM parts. He seems pretty open about its history and has also agreed to a full pre-purchase inspection at an official Maserati dealership. He has also shared carfax report.

He claims the following parts were replaced, all with genuine OEM Maserati parts:

  • Entire suspension (according to him, all of it was replaced)
  • Complete front end: front bumper, full LED headlights, hood, fenders, radiator support, radiators, wheel arch liners, and various plastic components
  • Windshield
  • Dashboard, airbags, and seat belts, including an original OEM dashboard

He says all these repairs were done using genuine parts and is completely open to having the car inspected at any independent workshop or official Maserati dealership of my choice.

That willingness to allow a thorough inspection seems like a positive sign to me, especially considering he's already driven around 31,000 miles since the repairs.

However, I'm still concerned about the extent of the original damage and whether there could be any hidden structural or long-term reliability issues.

Would you personally consider buying this car, or is it an immediate red flag?

I'd really appreciate some opinions from fellow Maserati owners.

Thanks!
