Description
It is noted that the vehicle has a discrepancy in its mileage history. This is because an inspector recorded a number slightly lower during an inspection on October 20, 2004. Upon review via Carfax, this can be verified. The current mileage is 5,347 miles, which appears to be accurate. An instruction manual is included.
Now inspected and ready to drive.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car starts easily, though it ran a bit rough with a cold engine at first, but it improved over time. Otherwise, the steering, brakes, and gear shifts felt good. The car hasn't been driven for a while, so a thorough inspection is recommended. It hasn't been checked on a lift, but from what could be seen, everything appeared to be in good condition.
-
Interior condition
A lovely interior in good original condition with mild usage patina. Chairs, seats, door panels, headliner, instruments, and details are all in the same good condition and level. Electric window on the front right works intermittently, left rear door lock is faulty, and a reading lamp needs to be checked, otherwise all electric functions seemed to work well. This includes the sunroof and electric antenna, etc. Air conditioning cools.
-
Exterior condition
The paintwork appears to be in its original condition and in good shape for its age, with a nice gloss. There are some stone chips, minor scratches, and door edge marks. Gloss, glass, plastic, and rubber details are in good condition with some signs of use. The wheels are in good condition with some slight damage, but they have newer tires. The engine and luggage compartments are in fine condition.
-
General condition
A delightful and impressive model that now has over 40 years behind it. Here, in a fine and well-maintained example in the classic four-door version. Lavishly soft Italian leather, wood trim, the classic analog clock, and a potent biturbo engine in a discreet and understated package make for an intriguing Italian collector's car and classic.

Facts about the model
Maserati vidareutvecklade motorn från Merak-modellen, en V6-motor. Då Italien hade straffskatt på motorer över 2 liter höll man sig inledningsvis strax under detta. För att ändå få hög prestanda satte man turboaggregat på varje sida av V-motorn och fick rejäl fart på bilarna och försäljningen. De sålde mer än 5 000 bilar per år i början och det var långt fler än tidigare Maseratibilar. Det blev inledningsvis en tvådörrars coupé. En förlängd (8,6 cm) fyradörrars sedan tillkom efter ett par år. Året efter det kom en öppen version, kallad Spyder. Det tillverkades även olika specialmodeller i små upplagor. Motorerna var allt från den ursprungliga 1995 cm³ till 2790 cm³, med förgasare och insprutning. Motorerna över 2,0 liter var primärt för exportmarknaden.
Versionerna med en "4" som inledning var alltså fyradörrars sedanbilar. De tillkom från årsmodell 1983. Det fanns ett antal olika varianter med olika motorversioner. Versionen 425i byggdes mellan 1987 och 1990 och hade en 2 491 cm³ motor med 188 hk, bränsleinsprutning och katalysator.
Totalt byggdes 38 000 bilar i Biturbo-familjen. Epitetet "Biturbo" försvann dock från modellbeteckningarna till årsmodell 1988.
