Ah, that's interesting. Is it also true that it improves longevity if driven in Sport?

Thank you for all the advice guys, really appreciate it. I will be going for coupe, as I have my Alfa Spider for top down fun. Having said that, it would be great to hear the V8 more, but I also want to have the back seats, so the Coupe it is. It sounds like the ball joints and wishbones...

Cheers for the info there chaps. I assume though, that a garage queen that hardly gets used, would actually likely be more problematic than 1 that does get say, weekend use etc.....I've always been under the impression that cars sitting around doing nothing, doesn't really do them alot of good...

Ah I see. I'm pretty handy with a set of spanners and do the majority of the maintenance on my cars myself. So not too worried about having a few things to do. Electronics are not something I know much about though. How are they on the 4200s? My 1996 Alfa isn't that sophisticated electronically...

Hi Dicky. Thank you for your reply. Where you say that it is difficult to find a good one these days, is that due to age, cars have been scrapped etc.....or that owners tend to keep hold of them? I have a 1996 Alfa Spider and have no intention of ever parting with him, hence why I wondered why...

Hi all. I have long been an admirer of Maseratis and in particular the 3200 and 4200. I see a buying guide for the 3200, I am wondering if there is a specific one for the 4200? Other than the engine, are there many differences between the 2? I am hoping to be in a position to purchase 1 next...

Thanks for the info there guys. Also, sounds great in the video. They certainly do sound great!!

Okey doke. Points noted there, thank you very much. What actually happens to the washers?

That's sounds good to me, I'll look into those at some point then. Yes, they are cheap now, but I won't be buying one that cheap personally. Ideally I don't want anymore than 25000 on it, but we'll see what's about I guess...

OK cheers for that. Funnily enough, as well as my Alfa spider, I have an Insignia VXR Estate. It's surprisingly unchavvy and sounds pretty good as it's a V6 turbo, obviously not as good as a Maser or Alfa busso V6. I shall be keeping it, as it's needed to cart my drumkit around in, I don't think...

Thanks very much for all the info here chaps, much appreciated. Yes, I will be driving both to decide which I prefer.... I always up until a month or so ago, just felt my next car would be the Giulia QF, however there is something about the Ghibli, so will definitely have to drive both before...

Ah, how do you find the Levante? Yes, I have a phase 1 916 twinnie. Great fun. I am tossing up between the Ghibli S and the Giulia Quadrifoglio. I know the Alfa is faster, more focused and more powerful and I do love them.... However, there is something about the Ghibli. I prefer the interior on...

Thanks for that Mick. Was an interesting read. I completely agree about pulses racing etc.... That's what had got me into Alfas and I love driving my spider. I shall do the checks on everything I can think of then when I do finally get a chance to look at one.... Only when this current crisis is...

Cheers for the help ther guys. Are there any specific problems that are worth checking before purchasing etc....? For example, I have a 2010 Insignia vxr Estate, I found that the haldex systems are sometimes fragile, so I checked that etc.....

HI all. I'm new to here but have been a lifelong Italian car fan, having had Alfas etc.... I am thinking over the next 6 months or so of purchasing a Ghibli S. Is there a buyers guide on here, or anything in particular of what to look out for? What options, I. E. Skyhook yes or no etc..... Any...
