This car is now being auctioned on Bring a Trailer (www.BaT.com). The auction link is here: bringatrailer.... It will run until Tuesday, June 23 at 2:32pm Pacific time
"This isn't going any better than our usual videos." Bill, we wouldn't want it any other way! Beautiful car!! This thing looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I really hope it's new owner takes as good of care of it as the previous have!
So, when it’s not birds..... “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!......THE WEED WACKERS! AAGGHH....” ....and they keep going on....on a steady crescendo..... “This isn’t going any better than our usual videos....”. LOL! Notwithstanding that, you did a great review on a superb Italian stallion!
Saw one of these today in Brisbane, Australia. Quite the coincidence. It was at a car yard that specializes in Japanese JDM imports, but had some beautiful, special Euro cars in the shed.
My Alfa 156 sportwagon facelift has the Giugiaro badge too. ; ) The most beautiful station wagon ever made, I believe. I miss wheel arches like these. Petite and attractive (like on my 156). Car design today is quite the downer for the most part.
Another great video Bill. I always learn a lot while getting a laugh. Your videos are very instructional as well as being good for a laugh or two. I appreciate you and your outstanding TH-cam videos.
'The car has always been in doors', must have been a big building if it did 21K miles inside it xD, joking aside, beautiful car, cant beat a Maserati, the perfect cheaper alternative if one cant afford a Ferrari FF coupe.
If I was in the US and had enough coin, I'd bid on this thing until it was mine...I LOVE these! EDIT: One thing I never understood, though, is why the gauges start below where the dials' needles sit, so for example up to 15-18 mph, it's pretty much not indicating the actual speed.
All the noise that the lawn services make is ridiculous, I call it the bane of Suburbia! Actually, gas-powered blowers and trimmers are actually illegal in Florida. They are ubiquitous, however, for some reason.
Do you work on Weedwacker Lane? Every video seems to include them. hehe Do you guys finance? Your cars are all in mint condition it seems. Oh wait...I just found your website and I think you guys do. Is the 1979 Trans Am or the 300zx available still?
Hi Bill - congrats on feeling a little better.... and the car being a little tighter.... much less CHRYSLERIZED :))))... I figured out why I / we - admirers here love Your voice and presentation.... If You'd deepen it... while adding more pauses - it would sound like Jack Nicholson's :) !!!!!! Keep it up.... and please continue commenting on anything... like lawn mowers, Your phone.... and either ironies.... as they happen.... You Have A Gift.... My Friend :))))) !!!!! Amazingly relaxing... and enjoyable.... Please sub-contract Doug DeMuro's or Jay Leno's reviews.... and replace their squeeky, childish agitations :)))))
….I remember that Joe Walsh song “Life’s Been Good”…..but I could never find the stats on any Maserati in 1978 that supported that claim…..certainly not the Merak or the Bora. The Khamsin could do 170. I suppose Walsh used ‘185’ because it sounded good and rhymed.
My best friend had one new back in 06. My ex wife was my wife at the time. She hates cars. She went for a ride with me in that car. She got out and said she now understood why I love cars. She loved it. Never forgot that. Probably got me laid that night.
The video game, grand theft auto, 5 in particular, is famous for sort of ripping off real cars and changing them very slightly and giving them a new weird name, you know to make things easier to model and not get sued obviously. This gransport just makes me laugh because the it looks like a car that came FROM gta5 and became a real life car. Just the style of it looks like a neat video game car with the back end especially. It's slightly cartoonish and almost bordering on tacky in some nebulous way. I kinda like it though
Did this dude really said that Maserati “fixed” the taillights for this model? Wouldn’t he meant “ruined by changing the boomerang taillights for those crappy prelude ones?
I had planned on showing off my superior LED taillight knowledge in an annoyingly smug and pompous way to educate you that the W220 S class had them first but I Googled it and actually the Cadillac Deville from 2000 had them so that's me told.
I understand this Commentary. And the newer GT have better autoboxes and a much MUCH better exhaust tune. This exhaust sounds like a bastard child with a Porsche boxer engine. Then there is the humdrum 1993 Honda Prelude appearance from rear 3/4 view and those hideously oversized and very dated tailamps glaring at you. All griping aside, I can always appreciate a fantastic chassis - a great drivers instrument. And seeing you can get these with the DSG for around 20K with LOW miles, there is value here. I was looking a a red Maserati Coupe cambiocorsa with 12k miles for sale in the Boston area for mid 20's. Likely the reason I was linked to this video presentation. Enjoy! - Sandy
The owner is selling the car because he is going broke due to the coronovirus financial impact. "Buying a house" is a attempt to protect the man's dignity. You ain't fooling me
I would rather get a Porsche 911/997 for that money. They are even after over 10 years more advanced than todays Maserati´s and can be maintained at any VW/Porsche dealer. th-cam.com/video/YduLaR0d8RI/w-d-xo.html The new 911 turbo is now down to 2,7 sec for 0-62 mph (i tested much lower, but warning your eyes will pain by the sheer physical force, as they are pressed backwards). th-cam.com/video/Dt-0NVt6jSw/w-d-xo.html But with no Autobahn in the US a GT3 is the right choice for max pleasure: th-cam.com/video/Urj1UDcXwm8/w-d-xo.html
@@sasiedu562 he can still think the car is ugly even if he can’t afford to drive it... just because a car is expensive doesn’t mean you have to find it attractive

Very beautiful car
LOL an oven mitt or a Belgian bordello! Bill, only you! AWESOME STUFF!
I love how Bill get distracted so easily during these videos, We love ya Bill, whiskey therapy or not
''Belgian Bordello'' : Absolutely Supreme Top of the BILL !
I can tell you this is a great car though Ginny had a little trouble getting in.
Ohhhh!
Christopher Moltisanti still trying to buy it in auction
When Ginny hauls ass she has to make two trips.
Hahahahah great reference
Reinforced Heavy Duty Suspension!
I love your videos. Especially your encyclopaedic knowledge of cars. 🥰
This is when maserati was not mass produced.
The last of the REAL maserati
Backin Ferrari days
"A cacophony of automotive symphonic Heavon." I just love your word play Bill!👍
Saw one of these today in Brisbane, Australia. Quite the coincidence. It was at a car yard that specializes in Japanese JDM imports, but had some beautiful, special Euro cars in the shed.
One of the few modern Maseratis that have aged well. 👍
ah the weed wackers..FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THE WEEDWACKERS!!!...😆😆😆

Thought the camera in the trunk, was a holster for a compact 9 and thought, "Isn't that supposed to be in the center console?" XD
You are right about the color in Italian, Grigio Touring Metallic. Sounds like alcohol to me.
"2k miles a year," what's the point of having one? I put about 25-30k a year on my 2014 Granturismo!!! Fantastic daily driver.
You are kidding me
The birds are with you.
Man what a car. If manual, perfect GT car.

Lawn mowers, trimmers and blowers are the bane of Suburbia.
that v8 maserasti exhaust note sounds better than most supercars.
I keep forgetting Florida is one day ahead of us in the midwest.
You have to listen to this one on headphones to get the full effect of the weed whackers.
If I was in the US and had enough coin, I'd bid on this thing until it was mine...I LOVE these!

Thought you were done with the whiskey treatment. It’s Wednesday, Bill.
Great video, atleast your aren't pushing cars and bids on us haha!
Ps are you going to film the Lexus IS C?

Did you have your morning remedy?? I am bringing some when I come down to visit!!
Kudos for mentioning this being the Johnny Sack Sopranos car. I think the Johnny Sack one was the generation before this one but this is sweet.
Giorgetto Giugiaro's "tour de force" was the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT ( 105 Body Coupe )......
Bill I think the 1st car to have LED taillights was the 2000 Cadillac DTS.
Why do I get a feeling that your friend had an issue with it soon after buying it, and now never wants to see this car again?
Great car
Bellissima auto Maserati made in italy
Ooooh Ferrari 308 back there ❤️
Christopher Moltisanti still trying to buy it in auction
You can still sell Bill thats for sure. I'm ensconched.
I think car scratched by Bill has actually more value
Wonderful car

I agree with your comments there some cars he does that I have little or no interest in but watch for the story's and entertainment value.
My Maseratti does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive. lol

Good morning Bill, it's Wednesday..
This review is a complete 180 from the Ghibli review I watched yesterday.
Today is Wednesday unless Florida is on the other side of the International Date Line.
Electric gardening ❗️
I want one

Oh for the love of god,not everything is hard to do with one hand Bill,lol.
Beautiful but I think the door scratch needs a professional paint repair.
No, scratch by Bill adds value, just put clearcoat on it
Did this dude really said that Maserati “fixed” the taillights for this model? Wouldn’t he meant “ruined by changing the boomerang taillights for those crappy prelude ones?
It's Grigio Alfieri
I had planned on showing off my superior LED taillight knowledge in an annoyingly smug and pompous way to educate you that the W220 S class had them first but I Googled it and actually the Cadillac Deville from 2000 had them so that's me told.
I can't believe I'm the 4th to comment!
Not to offend the owners of these cars, but the tail lights look like they came from a 1990 Cutlass Supreme
joe walsh sung about Maserati.
Haha!...Johnny Sacramoni
It has some "soft" design, but great car.
Where's "Bill's Wackers" in the comments?
No birds??!!
He want's MORE than $200.00 bucks? 👀
I never liked these because they look like a Chinese knock off of a Aston Martin DB9.
New ones are odd looking ducks, old were very cool always distinctive design.

No humor today, like a nice place for a 9mm gun
The interior a big let down, very disappointing. As for the rest not bad
You have got to be joking, it's a work of art covered in leather in a classic style.
Ugly car. In my opinion.
Just curious, what do you drive?
Yeah what car do you drive ? You must have a way better car....
