I Won a Salvage High Mile Maserati Quattroporte S from Copart! Will it Drive 300 Miles Home?

Monkey Wrench Mike convinced me this high mileage, salvaged 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S with a buy now of $4500 at Copart was a good deal. He forced me to buy it. Now we have to go to Arkansas to pick it up and hope it can drive 300 miles to Oklahoma.

The front clip on that thing is off a 2003-2008. There was a facelift in 2008 with different bumper, grill, headlights. Shes obviously been wrecked in the front and repaired with the earlier prefacelift parts.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

bingo!

[@djmtndew]

Came to say the same thing!

[@sprezzatura8755]

That's good to know because it's really game on to do whatever you want with this car.

[@stevesposato9124]

Having been the mechanic on a friends 08 Quattro porte GT executive he had the same skyhook code. Looking at the missing panels in the wheel well liners on your car you might want to check before anything else on the suspension to see if the wires that go to each shock absorber if they are both connected, and/or if the wire itself is cut or broken, that’s not uncommon. There is a lot of information on the suspension online, but try the simple stuff first. You’ll want to keep a patient attitude with them that’s what works with Maseratis iPhone, the tea PMS you have to fill up the tires and then sync them up and then drive the car and it takes about two or 3 miles for them to go out you also have to keep constant I on the tire pressure. If they still don’t go out, the batteries are dead in the wheel sensors. For the noisy engine my understanding is that the cam sensors and hydraulic advance units are not that hard to take care of when the suspension goes out. It will ride super hard when it’s working that car handles amazingly tight The trunk issue why it won’t open from the back is because the little pressure switch in the trunk lid is either broken or the wiring has a problem. It is a really good car just give it a chance and tend to different things on it. Shop around and see where you can find some deals on parts Please please don’t straight pipe it! When you get it running right, it has the sweetest sound with the stock exhaust and it runs very very well and it’s got tons of power. Please don’t straight pipe it

[@daleestep9518]

I'm hoping they run the exhaust straight up through the hood like a derby car

[@justsomerandomguy4269]

That Maserati is the type of car that would end up running from Arkansas State Police and get featured being PIT maneuvered on KZbin

I love how Mike keeps shouting out that finding a screwdriver under the hood of a auction maserati is a good sign LOL

[@DoYouLikeToastToo]

Finding tools under the hood isn't always bad, it happens. Now a Stanley screwdriver like this appears to be, that's a problem.

[@darylkik6204]

While checking the OBD port Randy said , "Do you feel this car is safe for highway travel?" All I heard was the Officer asking the that on Plane's, Trains, and Automobiles. "Top of the morning officer, we had a small fire but caught it just in time" " Do you feel it is safe for highway travel?" "I do feel it is safe, I mean its not much too look at Officer but she will get you where you want to go." You have no functioning gauges? "Nope not one but the radio works clear as a bell." You have no outside mirrors? No, we lost those. (Sadly I know most of it by heart but had to paraphrase or it would be too long. If you guys wrote out your jokes in advance, they could never match your true humor we always see. Greeting from Wichita (again) Drive Safe

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

If you want a car you can wrench on that is absolutely stunning to look at, is reasonably priced and parts are acceptable priced the Maserati is absolutely a great buy. Once you fixed it quirks You will have a great car that probably will raise in value quite considerably .

[@MrTottanham]

i had a few of these and is will only lose value is will never go up in value, with his miles 122k , what is ridicuolus 40k miles is considered a high miles for these you can spend 20k on this maybe 8k car

At least it runs as well even though it did misfire a bit there. Excited for this Maserati to come together!

[@fasteddy917]

If there aren't at least 7 videos in that Maserati I'll be surprised and every one heavily watched as well. I wonder how many parts are crossed over to Chrysler. Years ago we would have gone down to the Library and looked at the Hollanders book and cross referenced the parts to see what would fit the need. I still hear the town librarian saying, let me see your hands, before we could have the book. No greasy hands on her books and you could put your best bet on that. Grand video as always. Thank you and Best Luck on the Power Tour.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

By 2009 Chrysler had nothing to do with Ferrari or Maserati.

Let's go now this is a boss car the maserati u got ranks 13 of 25luxury cars and another issue is interior melting it can leave sticky risdue and maserati owners spends roughly $6,500 to keep their cars presentable. 2 the engine sound the increase means u might have a hole in your exhaust system and that requires immediate attention or replacement at muffler shop. 3 your maserati is one of the most reliable cars out their money can buy u DON'T YET GUVE UP ON IT

I like it. Always start with fresh gas and fuel treatment. Then go from there and make sure the battery or batteries if it has a second one are all fully charged. The front end shouldn't be that bad of a fux. These are are good when treated right.

Looks like you probably have a timing issue. The first fault you cleared, Cam/Crank correlation, along with all the misfires makes that a pretty likely scenario. Try to find the readouts for the cam, crank, and some timing values. Otherwise you'll have to tear down a bit to at least see the cam marks.

Exactly what I was thinking. Plugs and coil packs. My ‘13 Cadillac CTS is the most maintenance-required, crap-quality car I’ve ever owned and the things I’ve learned while owning this car is that I’ll NEVER own nor recommend another to anybody!!
