    QP/GT front subframes - the truth

    Just had a read through this extremely useful and important thread (especially for newbies like me!). Had a quick peak under my GT and overall the subframe looks good but in places there is a little bit of rust that’s starting to form! I’m based near Farnham Common (west of London), any...

    I’ve never had spacers fitted to a car before, how easy are they to install and do they affect the handling in any way?

    Opinion poll - should I get the carbon aero package retrofitted? (I was thinking spoiler, door handles and wing mirror covers) Or as it’s a grigio, would it look better to keep it stock and maybe get more carbon bits for the interior? (I currently have a carbon wheel, carbon dash and door card...

    GT - new owner journey

    Hi all! Apologies for the radio silence, it’s been a busy few weeks (Weddings, work etc etc.) but I’ve finally managed to get on the Maserati ownership ladder! It’s a GT sport in grigio alfieri with Matt black wheels and yellow callipers! (Which are way better than red ones btw ;) lol!) I’ve...

    well the car comes with 6 months warranty and I’m going to try to get it in writing from the seller that any battery drainage diagnostic and repair work will be covered by them. If they agree to this, then I guess the car is a safe bet? Also, attached is the main dealer inspection report from a...

    Out of interest, could anyone please advise how much it could cost to test and fix a parasitic battery drainage issue?

    Hi Sam, no offence taken... I’m a complete novice when it comes to high end cars! (I’ve been driving a 320d for the last 10 years lol) But thank you for your feedback... I wasn’t even aware that you could get specialist independent inspections done, but that’s definitely the next step here...

    Thanks Conaero... Looking at the main dealer inspection report, the battery is in ‘good’ condition... however, is it a possibility that the battery still needs to be replaced? Or would this indicate that the battery itself is not the issue and that it could be something else that is draining...

    GT - new owner journey

    Hi all, thank you so much for your replies and guidance! It’s much appreciated... the reason for my delayed response is I’ve been busy trawling the market and viewing other GT’s! I’ve just viewed a 2017 facelifted version which has a full and on schedule main dealer service history and was fully...

    Thanks C4sman In terms of next steps, do I ask the dealer to arrange the inspection or would I need to arrange it? If so, what would be the best approach for getting this done? (just to mention the car comes with 6 months RAC warranty that can be renewed for up to 3 years with a £3k max limit...

    GT - new owner journey

    Hi all, I’ve found a 2017 Bianco Eldorado Maserati GT which has the perfect spec (including exterior and interior carbon packs - evo 1 & 2). I’ve put down a holding deposit, however it has come to light that the first service was completed (at a main dealer) in October 2020 with 17k miles on the...
