1990 Maserati 222 2.0 V6 Bi-turbo
Summary:
Love makes you blind
Faults:
Alarm system broke and gave problems, so was disconnected.
Problems with ground contacts and several relays.
Aircon must be refilled; it blows warm air.
General Comments:
Well when you want to buy a Bi-turbo, never buy it with your last cash.
The 222 Bi-turbo is a serious quick car. When it came out, it was quicker than most of the BMWs and Porsches, including the M3, M5 and 911.
The car is a GT, therefore the road holding is less M3 and more Porsche 928.
The car is reliable, but maintenance is essential.
A visit to the garage will cost 500 Euro if there is really nothing wrong.
A service with checking valve clearance and changing the cambelt is around 1500 Euro.
It is a great car, but you have to love it, because it will cost you more than a Mercedes S Class to drive, because of the high running costs.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
