Probably not even slightly well. This would be in CA though. Snow's not much of a worry.

It just powers right through
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT........ You need a car, and this, well this I can see you rockin. Much better character for you than the Pruis you normally roll in when your out here.....<was I supposed to keep the prius driving queit?.. My bad>
the two times a year you get to drive it while it endlessly drains your wallet will probably make you smile.
At least it's not my Prius. I'm just borrowing the pos.
I'm tempted, I just think if I'm going to buy a car to have in CA it should be.... less Italian.
Do it.
and try it now
and try it now
Do it anyways...... Not like you dont know somoene really good with mechanics!!!
I'll probably go drive it when I get back to CA in a couple weeks if it's still on the market. I'll likely chicken out but I'm tempted.
turbos + carbs = good luck
I know. This would be a more "it's cool and I want it" type purchase than a "I want something reliable and functional" type deal.
If it ran like a Toyota it wouldn't be a Maserati...
I stole that somewhere but it seems to fit
Actually...... i think there just might be a toyota 4x4 for sale... Let me double check to see if dude still has it up for sale
Wow. People can ask three and a half large for a car considered to be the most unreliable ever made?
get an '87 caddy. make sure its at least 9' wide
i think this is a great idea. Don't bother purchasing it, just throw half the value of the car in the toilet and enjoy the six months you didn't own it for.
Buy it, just so the next time you go shopping you can say "Hey, lets take the Maserati." Followed up almost immediately by "ooops, forgot it's in the shop".
i guess its better than a Alfa in terms of reliability.....but just by a cvnt's hair
I'm still amazed that the 156s have plastic gear guides (this : http://www.germanexotics.com/index/Sunrise_Murcie/lamborghini_gear_lever.jpg). Ever tried to go through alps with no 1st gear and ocasional 2nd?
What is this Italian abomination? Be a man and buy some good old American muscle.
theres no replacement for displacement
Makes Audi look like a pillar of reliability.
I say do it.
I say do it.
Nobody has told him to buy a Subaru yet?
and the last audi you owned was?Makes Audi look like a pillar of reliability.
I say do it.
It blew up in 1999. Have they gotten better?
How about you buy a truck and help with the shuttles, motherf*cker.
Miss you.
XOXOXO

The two worst cars I've known about where my parents cars from the mid 70s - a 1972 Audi 100LS Automatic which caught fire the same year its was purchased but not covered under any warranty.
A 1974 Porsche Sportamatic which had the habit popping itself into 2nd without warning at any time, any speed.

if it was a 1.8T....that's your fault.It blew up in 1999. Have they gotten better?
Nope. It was the inline 5. '85 4000SQ. Fun car in the snow...
I've been looking. Haven't found much. My insistence on a manual transmission doesn't help.
Except turbos, Super chargers, and Nitrous.......theres no replacement for displacement
