Hello all,
newbie here, but sadly I don't have a Maserati yet. However on Monday I'll be going to see a Ghibli GT, so hopefully I won't be Maseratiless for much longer
Quick introduction, I'm Chris, used to live in England but I'm now based in Switzerland. I've never owned a Maserati before, actually only ever owned one Italian car, an Alfa 164 3.0 V6, so this will be a whole new world for me!
And to the bit that interests people on here, the car I'll be going to see is a 1996 Ghibli 2.8 GT with the 6 speed manual.
It is a one owner car, with 78,000km (around 50,000 miles), and according to the dealer has been well looked after throughout its life. He doesn't have any pictures, but the car is green on green. Outside is dark green which should suit it quite well, but I'm struggling to figure out what a green interior looks like. Apparently it is light green, so if anyone has examples I'd be curious to see
Also just so that I'm a bit prepared, is there anything specific to look out for on these?
From what I gather, servicing is a bit unusual in the sense that each service has different requirements. The one that worries me the most is the cam chain since it is apparently very labour intensive, is 80,000km when it is due?
Finally concerning rust, what are the known areas on these cars?
