You Can Buy This Elegant Maserati For The Price Of A Nissan Altima
You Can Buy This Elegant Maserati For The Price Of A Nissan Altima-May 2024

Today's holy-crap-I-can't-believe-this-is-even-legal used car deal is one that not only has one of the best designs ever, but has a freaking hand-built Ferrari V8 under the hood. Welcome to the - yes, it's real, and it's spectacular.

This triumph of Italian engineering, equipped with a 4.2 liter V8 designed and built by Ferrari, is one of the least expensive examples in the marketplace, with only 55,000 miles, no accidents, and a clean title. .

Now I know what you're thinking - didn't these cars have crazy reliability issues concerning their transmissions? Yes, vigilant reader, they did. However, those were on the earlier, '05-early '07 models with the DuoSelect automated manual transmission that used clutches like a teenage girl uses kleenexes after a bad breakup.

This 2008 model has a makes-so-much-sense-it-hurts ZF 6-speed automatic transmission that is infinitely more practical, and just as quick when you want to paddle-shift your way to that business meeting across town.

It also has amenities like 4-zone climate control, electric seats, rear sunshades, alcantara headliner, and dear God, look at that leather. This car, just 6 years ago, was north of $130,000. Within 6 years, it has depreciated . That is insanity, and a sign from the universe that you deserve (and can afford) better in life. .

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
