A V8-powered Italian sports car for £10k? You'd best believe it. We've got everything you need to know about buying a used Maserati 3200 GT
It steered nicely, though, through a 2.7-turns-lock-to-lock powered rack, although our testers noted a spot of vagueness just off-centre. Grip levels were high in the dry, but the 3200 GT could be quite a handful on a wet road, especially if you were the sort who turned off the traction control. Mix a limited-slip differential with a surge of turbo boost and you got yourself some good old-fashioned oversteer.
And should you fancy even more sizzle, the limited-run Assetto Corsa was offered late in the 3200 GT’s life. It rode on 15mm-lower suspension and had different wheels and tyres, a quicker steering ratio, red brake callipers and lightened brake ducts.“I bought a nearly new 2002 Spyder with the larger V8 and kept it for 15 years. Because I lived out in the sticks, it suffered terrible neglect in my hands, but it mostly kept working. I did service it when it needed it, and I kept the mileage low.
Check cam covers for oil leaks. Cambelt change is every 31,000 miles or four years; timing chains every 68,000 miles. Check for noisy valve shims and excessive crankshaft-end float on manual cars. A failing crankshaft sensor can cause starting problems. An engine that hunts or fails to start may need a new throttle potentiometer.The four-speed automatic is known to be fairly strong, as is the manual, although clutches can wear quickly.
