Hello all,
I have been in the market for a new (pre-owned) coupe for about two months now and I'm debating between the a 2004 Coupe CC and a 2002 Porsche 996 C4S.
I have owned three Porsches in the past, so I'm familiar with the car's maintenance schedule/cost, known issues, etc.
I have never owned a Maserati or any any "exotic" so I have no idea what I'd be in for if I pulled the trigger.
The idea of owning a Ferrari engineered machine like this really excites me but I'm very scared of the maintenance and repairs that Maserati has been known for in the past.
I have read about performance reviewes and long-term tests in magazines, but I've yet to find a good source that would just tell me from an owner's perspective about the day-to-day issues with these cars.
I plan to drive it daily (about 30 miles round trip) so I'll need to know what to expect in terms of scheduled maintenance, known problems, repair costs, etc.
I would greatly appreciate any help that you can offer. Thank you.
