Maserati 1972-2008 market review
Maserati during the era of its appalling Biturbo looked set to die but has come roaring back.
Almost all of the 1985-95 cars have disappeared but you can still pick up a variety of cheap and reasonably reliable Maseratis. 3200 coupes often dip below $30,000, with very good Ghiblis and Quattroportes at $45-50,000.
Of the older Masers, only the mid-engined Merak appears with any consistency and at realistic money.
Looking to the future, the Shamal is scarce but values remain at less than half new-car cost. Go older and the one to buy will be a 4.9-litre Bora – hopefully before any more local cars disappear overseas.
Merak/Merak SS $108,990 [4]
