All:
Thanks much. I think I'll pass on this one! Especially because the closest Maserati dealer and service dept is 225 miles away from where I live. The car is a 4.2 liter V8. I know the old bi-turbos weren't reliable. If this model is also unreliable, it is the last thing I need. The Honda S 2000 it would replace is like a fast and reliable little go-kart. Parts and service aren't really very expensive, and the dealer up the street and around the corner has a good service department. I've gotten on very well with it for over seven years, and she still looks like new. I think I'll keep it, and thanks to all for saving me from a big headache!
