    Amari Supercars Reputation

    HI all.... My old man is in the process of buying a 458 and has been to look at quite a few the last couple weeks (cannot wait for when he finally gets it!). He's off to view one tomorrow at Amari which seems the right kind of money and it's still under Ferrari warranty etc But I'm sure...

    Service light come on but does not need service - Graypaul won't remove!

    My battery got low over the winter on my Granturismo S and a few little electrical gremlins appeared. I charged the battery and everything cleared except the car now says it need servicing. The car was serviced last May / June at Graypaul Notts and has covered less than 2000 miles since. I...

    My New Maserati Granturismo S

    So after months of waiting I can finally post up pics of my new car. I've had it a couple weeks but resisted posting up pics until I picked it up from a full detail. Love the car to bits, the pictures don't do the colour justice. I was hoping to take a few pics of the car somewhere a little...

    My GT-S having a major detail & paint correction - Progress Pics

    I picked up my Granturismo S a couple weeks ago and had resisted posting any pics ups until after the detailing had been done. But figured I'd post up some progress pics from the detailer with some nice before & after shots. One thing I feel the need to point out is that the paintwork looks...

    Just spent the weekend in my new Granturismo S MC Shift

    After what felt like an eternity I finally picked up my GTS on Friday. I intended to post up sooner but to be honest every spare second I've had over the weekend I've spent in the car. Well, what can I say about the car other than totally AMAZING? I'd test drove quite a few before and...

    The best reaction you ever had to your Maserati?

    I'm (fingers crossed) picking up my Maserati this weekend and I'm a little curious as to the kind of reaction my new car will receive. I know from experience these kind of threads always give you that feel good factor because you own a car everybody loves. So what's the best response your car...

    Who do you use to insure your Maserati?

    Not sure if we have a club insurer or if anyone can recommend somewhere? I'm sure I checked a few months back and had quotes circa £600, but now they're now coming back at approx £1k. I'm 34, have a totally clean license, 7 years NCD and will literally only cover 2 - 3k miles in my new...

    Finally!

    After what's felt like years of trawling through advert after advert I finally put down a deposit on a GTS this afternoon. I won't be able to pick it for a couple weeks due to funds not being in place just yet so no doubt it'll be tough couple weeks. Even so, chuffed to bits and can't wait to...

    The Aston Martin DBS V12

    So I'm assuming this will be the most pointless thread in Sports Maserati Forum history but here I am asking all the same.... A few things have gone my way work wise recently and I'm finally on the verge of owning a car that we all used to put on our walls as kids. Obviously most on this...

    Granturismo internal boot dimensions?

    I've searched everywhere and checked out the brochures but cannot find the internal boot dimensions for the GT. I can find the capacity in litres but need to know the actually sizes, anyone know where I can find these? Our 2nd child is on the way and I'm shopping for a new buggy, need to make...

    Drove an MC Shift for the first time, ever so slightly underwhelmed...

    I've been to look at quite a few MC Shifts over the last couple of weeks but never pushed for a test drive on any of them as I'm still a few weeks away from being able to buy one. I went to view one on Friday and the dealer was keen for me to take it out so I figured it would be rude not to...

    Anyone watch True Detective?? (Minor Maserati Spoilers! )

    Not sure if this should be in Off Topic but technically it is Maserati related... If like some people you errm, ahem, get your episodes before they're aired in the UK... A Quattroporte V got shot up pretty bad in Sunday nights season finale.. Anyone watching this? McConaughey is truly...

    Granturismo clicking driveshafts?

    I went to view a GTS at Graypaul in Notts this week and it was on the ramp having its driveshafts (I think) replaced under warranty. The sales guy James said that on some GT's you can hear a clicking at low speeds with the windows down that at first Maserati refused to fix under warranty. But...

    After you part ex'd your Maserati, how much did the dealer mark up the price?

    As I'm in the market for a used GTS I'm just after a bit of an idea what kind of mark up dealers work on? No doubt it differs greatly on different models with different values but from your own experience, what kind of mark ups have you seen?

    I was so so wrong about the red leather!!

    Finally went and viewed my first Granturismo S at Graypaul Ferrari in Notts today. White with carbon kit, black Neptunes and Rosso Corallo leather. I was pretty certain I would hate the leather as it looks awful in every advert I've ever seen. But other than the leather the car is pretty much...

    Which are your favourite GranTurismo Alloys?

    Just trying to gauge what everybody prefers alloys wise, try and be honest and not just pick what's on your own car. I haven't added colours etc as would create too many options, I just wanted to see which are most desirable. I personally prefer Neptunes but some cars I'm looking at to buy have...

    Shopping for a GTS, a couple questions...

    Had some great news on the work front this week so it looks like I'll be in a Maserati a lot sooner than I originally thought. :numberone: As it turns out, me being turned down for finance on the new Ghibli last month was a blessing in disguise as I'm now in a position to start shopping for a...

    Is the badge really worth it??

    I may or may not be the first newb to wonder in here who can suddenly (almost) afford a brand new Maserati. Admittedly a Diesel Ghibli but a Maser all the same.... With the risk of being flamed down I was looking at mainly German SUV's as our next car as my growing family dictates. But then...
