How long do Maserati's last (in terms of mileage) ?

I'm looking at a 2005 Quattroporte with 57k miles, for 40k$.


Does anyone know how long these cars usually last..or what I should expect if buying with this many miles?|||my suggestion is to have it looked over even if u pay someone to do it for u. do a compression test and an oil pressure test. those will really tell u what kind of condition the engine is in! look at the inside of the oil fill cap see if it has gunk or sludge or chuks or discolored. and definitely not creamy which would mean it has a blown headgasket. that should have a ferrari motor in it which if i am correct is a 4.0l 8 cylinder 400bhp high compression engine so it is a high maintainence car! dont overev if ita hs a manual gearbox. its not going to be a 300,000 mile car but if well maintained you can probably get 200,000 but it will loose some compression well before then. really have it properly inspected man. a few hundred dollars could save u thousands!!!! and maybe even from making a 40,000 dollar mistake!!! u wouldnt buy a house without having someone look at it would u? where do u live maybe i can look at it for u. sorry its a 4.2l motor look at this review have u driven it? these guys weren't pleased with its performance from what i read maybe thats y its for sale dont be a label whore just because its a maseratti doesn't mean its a great car honestly i would buy japanese before i even look at anything else look at infinity or lexus or acura u can get a new car for what they want for that used 1. and the plentifulness of the jap cars mean parts and service r going to be much more affordable. i would go with a acura honda has provn technology and they stand behind their product and their WARRENTY! u can contact me if u have any questions i would be happy 2 help u man.|||Jeremy tested the new zr-1 on top gear this week it is bad a** that a 100000 car man im not sure what ur taste is but if u have money like that go to nissan and check out the nissan skyline GTR its awd and it has a 3.8l v6 twin turbo charged put out close to 500 bhp and is a 0-6- 3.5 sec car all for

|||How long is a piece of string. Properly looked after it could last forever badly looked after it could blow up next week.





You will providing you buy one that has been main dealer serviced and well maintained (Ie serviced bang on time or slightly ahead of schedule each time) be fine and you will get unlimited mileage out if it in theory.|||300,000 miles.





If YOU maintain it.





57k miles isn't even beginning into it's lifespan.





It's just a machine. It only lasts as well as it's owner provides.





Don't take care of it? It won't hit 100k.
