Cheap Maserati in DC

Not mine, not affiliated. If I had 1500 I would be tempted.

if it were a coupe and I were more of a masochist... it would be mine.

That's a rare one actually. 4 door biturbos are worth more than coupes, and the efi ones are way better than the early carbed ones.

Cheap Maserati Biturbo kind of sounds like free wooden boat.

That is pretty!

Man I want one, knowing how horrible they are, so sweet.

If it pisses me off I can always enjoy dropping a piano on it...

First Challenge Maserati!!

Anybody run one at a LeMons yet?

possibly the only car that can make a cheap porsche seem like a good investment

WHAT?!? If a Fiat can be fixed using this method, and both are Italian, by extension, the fix must be that simple

I wish mine came fuel injected.

It likely needs a new/repaired fusebox.

You can't buy a known good FI engine for less than that amount.

I wish I had the spare cash and a way to get it down here.

Could always empty the bank account and run up the credit cards-Just sayin.

There's been at least one biturbo, in a west coast race.

Who on here was that crazy?

There's a good reason all Biturbos are low mileage.

And that reason is actually that most odometers break with less than 30k miles.

My odometer reads 25k I think, but I'd bet she has a bunch more miles than that. I know I put at least 2k on her.

That said, when I got her earlier this year she hadn't been registered since '94 and I haven't driven her in almost 4 months.

That is my favorite BiTurbo that we got here in the States, I wonder if the back seat is big enough to sleep in. (My wife would kill me since my Spit has been sitting in the garage for 10 years)

I ~almost~ didn't click the link assuming it was the guy here in the DC area who's had 2 Biturbos on CL for years.

I grew up around boats. At the marina on the bay where my parents kept our 28' Cheoy Lee, a guy had a lovely 35' Hinkley wooden yawl. The boat was in a cradle on the hard and he began fixing a little rot about the time we moved to that marina. at least 10 years later he was still at it, and was beginning to replace work he'd done while we were there. I'm certain he's entered the great beyond having never sailed the boat a single nautical mile.

He could have bought a Laser for a grand and at least gotten to sail something while he dug out rot, sistered ribs, and fitted planks.

The problem for me w/ the "cheap" Biturbos is that they're not old enough to warrant the kind of pain they'll inevitably inflict. A Bora, a Merak - weird and old enough to be a proper classic.
