Gave the 3200 a much needed clean - as I’ve always cleaned my cars - with a sponge and 2 buckets of water. I use Auto Glym Aqua Wax sprayed into the rinse to get a good shine with very little effort.

20 year old QP on TradeClassics with quite a clean MOT history looking like it could use some TLC but getting a bit worrying underneath. Ought to be a low priced entry point for someone feeling brave: https://www.tradeclassics.com/auctions/maserati/2004-maserati-quattroporte-2/

Pull the stereo and check the connectors on the back. The last time this happened to me the fuse was good but I had a poor connection on the back of the unit.

We’ll see … I reckon it’ll still be on the market in 6 - 9 months time after a 10% discount on the initial asking price (regrettably, as a 3200 owner).

Quite an optimistic asking price in the current climate … https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16596597

So, those diagnostic testers don’t give a specific code for say n/s front wheel? If not, what do you do? Buy a new one and connect it at each wheel and see where the fault clears?

So most repair shops ought to have some suitable ABS diagnostics to hand for a 4200?

Asking for a friend: Using a basic OBD2 fault code reader is it possible to tell which wheel has a faulty ABS sensor? Or can this level of diagnostic only be achieved with a Maserati system? A friend of mine has IMHO been ripped off by his local garage who seem to have guessed where the problem...

Yeah … if you’re feeling lucky it could be one to go for(?)!

In my experience with a 3200 - using a reputable independent for major service items and doing other interim servicing / repairs myself - over 2 years and 7k miles of ownership allow £2.5k per annum … for servicing and parts only. All other expenses such as road tax, fuel, insurance and...

What’s wrong with it? That’s getting near scrap value!

It was mostly dry today apart from a few April showers so I went for a seat of the pants drive!

… at 20% of the price?

Yes, I think it is ... this one, which is lower mileage, just went for £11,200 incl. fees: https://auctions.doreandrees.com/catalogue/lot/15b0f04d5ed28983ea10fc8c8068d4f3/ad74375b82a358e6eef0ce537def266d/classic-cars-the-spring-auction-lot-14/

I think it maybe starting to creep up on us already, which would go some way towards explaining current price trends / difficulties in selling … It’s a result of the growth in “environmental awareness” and the changing public mindset towards hydrocarbon fuelled vehicles.

Another SUV from Alfa; I suppose they think that's where the money is(?). Pity! At least they tried to put some boomerang like lights on the back and the Sabelt seats look good. Be interesting to see it in the flesh and some test drive reviews.

I think the values of classic / collectors cars have been pushed up and held up by people moving towards and into retirement, who now have the wealth to bid up the price of that "Ford Capri" they lusted after in their youth but couldn't afford back in the day! As cars become more vintage they...

I’ve been asking myself that question for a year, with my 3200 … They do seem to sell at auction though, so that maybe something to try(?). I’m considering it myself.

Going to be launched on 13th June at Le Mans. Goes like a go-kart:
