2002 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa

I've always enjoyed the understated look of the early 2000s Maserati Coupes, hiding a 4.2L Ferrari-developed V8 in a surprisingly small car. This particular car is one of the better examples I've seen: obviously cared for by the previous owners, low-but-not-museum-piece mileage, a clean Carfax with no accident history, and an attractive blue/grey color combo with a vintage feel.

​

This Coupe drives great, has less than 1k miles on new Pirelli tires, a fresh Liqui Moly oil change, and plenty of clutch life left (a key point of concern on the F1-style automated manual transmissions) according to a recent readout. The glorious Italian V8 exhaust notes really come out at the high revs (with a 7500-rpm redline!) but it's also a great cruiser for road trips in comfort and style - I drove this car from St. Louis to Huntsville and it was a super pleasant experience. A well-kept Maserati is hard to beat in the coolness-to-dollar ratio... this is a lot of car (and engine) for less than $20k.
