Just sell it to Freddy

@bjornipasha2603 Месяц назад

Keep it and enjoy as much as you can. This spec combo is so sick, i love red interior cars ❤😍

@drewmcguinn7994 Месяц назад

Keep this up lol get paid and it’s real

@stevenkilgore1795 Месяц назад

Keep it. It’s still more than 50% discounted from original price. You won’t be able to get anything nearly as nice or fun with $39k.

@david_s1 Месяц назад

Sell it to the first person who shows up

@alrad5686 Месяц назад

As a retired Auto Insurance Appraiser, I'd tell you to sell it. I dealt with many flood cars. The "fun" never stops.

@destruct61 Месяц назад

Not for all of them especially not if you fix them correctly I've saved five cars from a flood it was hurricane Ian I just assessed the water level and what modules and wiring harnesses were affected replaced the harnesses and the modules cleaned everything of course and the cars have been problem-free since

It's because everyone claiming transmission by VIN is full of shit in plain English, Bentley said the same during my GT rebuild, claimed the same for engine ECU'S, all BS, I have a 2010 Bentley GT Supersports engine, quick shift transmission with mechatronic inside, twin engine ECU'S, instrument cluster, all installed in my 2005 GT with a complete front to rear wiring harness from my 2006 GT parts vehicle, along with the KESSY module from the 2006 with the 2010 engine and transmission all working together, my turbos are from the 2014 Bentley GT engine I purchased before finding the Supersports engine transmission package. Don't always believe the dealership !

@jaromor8808 День назад

bro you are a fkin thrillseeker, mad props... how much are you in it for?

@DocPRSGuitarBlues Месяц назад

You fellows still have the “golden touch” in my book. Although you lost money on this one, you were able to greatly minimize the loss with your tireless search for the right used parts. Well done in the end.

@godfreyhoyte1420 Месяц назад

I bought a flood prosch panamera 4 out Florida in 22 and I strip it completely apart clean all the electrical components replaced some computers did some rewire and did and engine flush and got it running with no problem I love a flood ill do it all over again

Give it to Tavarish. Tavarish eats anything

@princejamin8748 Месяц назад

Had a similar experience (of course not with a Maserati, but the gearboxon my car gave up and I was told the mechatronic is VIN specific and a used gearbox wont work. I asked for a picture of the nameplate my old gearbox and got a similar gearbox (matched to my nameplate) and the box worked without coding needed

@tacosandfrenchfries4561 Месяц назад

Was that a 914 in the garage? Make a video on it. Enjoy the channel. Thanks

@19mati67 Месяц назад

When you get a flooded car, first thing is to remove the battery/do not apply power to the car, you should change all the fluids, check all the computers/wires/plugs for corrosion and after that you may start it up. It may have corrosion issues come up eventually.

@WildDigger Месяц назад

Make sure you service the rear-end again if you haven't done so. It will be next if you didn't. But I do love that car.

@desmomotodesmomoto2033 Месяц назад

Buying a car off the lot, CHANGE OIL FIRST regardless of water damage or NOT

@cytherians Месяц назад

Draining oil is akin to testing blood. You want to see if there are any contaminants. Also, you don't know how old is the oil. Far better value to drain and then fill with fresh oil.

@joeybaez1745 Месяц назад

Keep it and injoy it , you guys worked so hard to get it running, great video and beautiful car

@doingyamom Месяц назад

Mechanic here, I’d sell that car as soon as possible. You may lose money right now but it’s only a matter of time until the next issue pops up and as you can see the issues that occur aren’t ever cheap. Remember, at the end of the day a Maserati is just a fancy Chrysler. And you know how Chrysler is with build quality.

@airyordan6291 Месяц назад

JR I have the same car never flooded. The transmission had E clutch stator bushing failure at 35k miles. Wouldn’t shift above 3rd gear. I had to spend a fortune to rebuild it but the dealer wanted double what I spent. On the mechatronics the ECU is on a plastic piece that’s screwed to the valve body and the circuit board is on the side that attaches to the shifter.

@computercrack Месяц назад

i cant believe Maserati is charging prices like that! The transmission will cost Maserati like a 1000$ worst case, why not sell it for 5000 grand plus labor? nobody who had to pay this rippoff will ever buy a maserati again

@TheRealBobHickman Месяц назад

Keep it, it's a beautiful car. Also, it would be good content to see how it ages and if any more issues pop up, or if it remains running perfect.

@carlosh7166 Месяц назад

Sell it you guys are master minds when it comes to fixing auction car headaches. You can always get another one down the road you're not in the biz to buy and keep. You guys will make it up somewhere down the line I'm sure. Great job love the super car videos as well as the Porsche videos.

@kasparsgrinbergs6001 Месяц назад

no...I drive a 5 generation quatroporte myself and nothing special has happened... the car has 240,000 km and drives and looks like new. In Europe, mercedes and bmw will be much more unreliable and even more expensive. in this case, when buying a car with possible defects...you have to be aware of it. the car is excellent and under no circumstances for sale💪

@HaydenBowles Месяц назад

The perfect spec! She's a beaut

@freddiecarr7602 Месяц назад

The trick is to buy only flooded vehicles from Copart lots you can visit. Look for the water line! The employees aren't hovering over you incognito pull a panel loose ( if an SUV the cargo area and you can see ) then a front kick panel and if the hood opens or if you can get underneath the engine bay- Once you eyeball the water level you know the level versus the world who have to go by the 6 pictures online. Of course sign out the key and plug in your OBD2 reader and see what you get since your are there. 7 times I've come away OK!

can't you change the electronics from your blown transmission to a used one? i really don't know if could work =D

@joshuacluff4959 Месяц назад

I bought a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte from auction, shipping and fees all in about $6,500. Wouldn't start, had to take it to the Maserati service center to decouple the rear axle to get it off the trailer. F1 pump in the transmission was the first thing to fix before further diagnostics. At the time I didn't have the money to fix it so I sold it to a guy local who was going to LS swap it. I lost $4,500 on that car.

@W220MAFIA Месяц назад

@chrispavlovsky4957 Месяц назад

When will you make a new flight video with the Cessna Citation? Also, what happened to the Abandoned Gulfstream GIII? Additionally, how do you make all of the money to buy these cars and even planes? I don't know how much the Cessna Citation costed, but I am curious.

@glennfrancisheald4008 Месяц назад

Well man, one way to not lose, keep it yourself, the market may change and you really don't have to sell it so cheap. The car is desirable and somebody will want it for themselves dispite the flood title.

@rajmunch 20 дней назад

I had a 2009 GT and it had gremlins even without your flood damage. One time I hit a pothole and the air conditioning stopped working. The suspension was also pretty harsh and the steering feel was loose. I really dont miss it.

I’d keep the thing. Use it as a nice GT cruiser or use it as content for a real world cost of ownership and reliability study on actually daily driving an “exotic” if the maintenance is kept up correctly. I haven’t been a big fan of this car over the years. But that spec is legit beautiful for that design and really makes the car. It’s a keeper if it’s a loss now that everything seems to be buttoned up. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
