Selling (thinking) - my modified GTV6
Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 3:07 pm
As many of you know (maybe firsthand from helping me 
, I got my GTV6 about two years ago and have modified it. I bought it for $6500. and it was and remains immaculate Exteriro: no rust whatsoever, gleaming bright silver paint, bumpers and modling trim perfect condition and pure black. Interior: NO CRACKS at all in dashboard (have you ever seen a GTV6 with an intact, perfect dashboard), leather perfect and shiny black. Functionally: everything works, clock works, A/C works, interior lights work, etc.
Anyone who has seen this car has been stunned into silence when I tell them it is an '86. Some think it just rolled off the showroom (Is that the new Maserati?), and even the ones who think it must be used say, "Well, it sure doesn't look like an '86."
I have all records from me and the previous owner to show that it was maintained properly and (unfortunately since I am not a mechanic) expensively.
What is this car worth now? Anyone want to buy it? I also invested about $6000. in modifications:
Silver foil (lifetime guarantee) premium WINDOW TINTING on all windows.
High end Viper alarm system with automatic window roll up and keyless door entry.
17 x 17.5 RONAL RT wheels (these alone, with tires $1200.)

IAP Performance springs for rear
(4) Bilstein shocks
Front end sway bars lowered to Euro standards, no fun to do and quite a lot of work as Chip who helped me will attest
