Hi everyone
As I stated in another thread, I just bought a 2006 Maserati Quattroporte with 22K miles on it. Naturally, I am in love!
A couple of items came up in my pre-purchase inspection and wanted to get everyone's opinion on them:
- there is a faulty bearing in the clutch that is covered under the warranty. Has anyone had that and is the car really safe to drive (as they told me)? I am planning on bringing it in next week but, so far, I find it hard to part with the car
- the one not covered by the warranty is a broken shift lever (the tiny one that puts the car in reverse and drive). The techs are saying someone pulled it the wrong way (or actually probably did not lift it right) and now you do not have to lift the lever when putting the car in reverse. It all works fine, you can shift it between reverse and forward with no problem except that you do not have to lift it up before putting it in reverse. Is this something I shoudl worry about? I wasn't planning on fixing it, it seemed really silly and not worth $800. But then again, who knows.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sergio
