Debuting in 2007, the Maserati GranTurismo was a stunning 2+2 grand tourer with timeless lines penned by Pininfarina. It's powered by a naturally aspirated V8 with Ferrari parentage, starting with a 4.2-liter unit and later expanding to a more desirable 4.7-liter in the S, MC Stradale, and subsequent models. The car's combination of gorgeous styling, a thrilling engine note, and genuine usability made it a flagship for Maserati for over a decade.
The GranTurismo's appeal lies in its exotic character at a surprisingly accessible price point. Collectors and enthusiasts are drawn to the 4.7-liter variants for their increased power and more aggressive character, particularly the track-focused MC Stradale and later MC models. Unlike many exotics, the GranTurismo is a capable long-distance cruiser with a comfortable interior and a relatively smooth ride, especially in cars equipped with the ZF automatic transmission.
After years of steady depreciation, the GranTurismo market has found a stable footing. Prices offer incredible value, with an average sale price around $38,000. Early 4.2L models represent the entry point, while low-mileage, late-model MC versions command the highest prices. While the cost of entry is low, prospective buyers should budget for significant maintenance costs, as servicing a Ferrari-derived V8 isn't cheap.
Buying Tips
- Check for sticky interior buttons and plastics, a common issue that is time-consuming to rectify.
- On 4.7L engines, listen for a brief rattle on cold starts, which can signal failing camshaft variators, a very expensive repair.
- The S model's MC-Shift automated manual offers faster shifts but requires costly clutch replacements every 20,000-30,000 miles. The ZF automatic is smoother and more durable.
- Inspect the Skyhook electronic dampers for any signs of leaking fluid, as replacements are pricey.
- A complete service history is non-negotiable. Major services and deferred maintenance can quickly eclipse the purchase price of the car.
Prices range from around $8,800 for early models to nearly $99,000 for top-spec, low-mileage examples.
