The Maserati Coupe GT and Spyder were the vehicles that reintroduced the Trident badge to the United States market after a little more than a decade long hiatus. Selected as Forbes best GT for 2001, this grand tourer packed a 4.2 liter Ferrari V8 and made good headway in eradicating memories of cantankerous Biturbos from the 1980s.
As with many exotic vehicles, plummeting resale values make these an attractive buy for enthusiasts with deep enough pockets to maintain them. Here's a low mileage, 6 speed manual example outside of New York City for a shade under $40,000.

I really like this Coupe since it doesn't have the paddle shift Cambiocorsa transmission. I was speaking to a gentleman who owned a 6 speed manual Spyder and he had mentioned that the electronically controlled manual transmission had issues with burnt up clutches from maneuvers such as backing up a hill. Technology is great and all, but for me, I'll take my Italian exotics with three pedals, even if the automated transmission can shift faster than me.

Great looking car, if only the pictures could play the tunes of the v8…
Do you still have the vehicle? I remember seeing it on ebay months back.
This was not my personal vehicle. We here at CICFS post cars for sale via third party sellers. The auction has ended and is no longer archived, so it would be hard to determine the sellers contact info at this date.
