Modern machinery from Modena tends to inspire passionate and divided reactions, and the 2006 Maserati GranSport is no exception. So when one of these striking Italian coupes turned up for sale at a relatively approachable $24,000, it raised an obvious question for enthusiasts. Would the price be low enough to overcome the usual hesitations about exotic ownership?
A GranSport at that figure offers genuine allure, pairing handsome styling with a sonorous engine for the cost of a modest new car. Of course, maintaining an aging Maserati can carry its own risks and expenses, which gives buyers plenty to weigh. The listing makes for a fascinating debate between the heart’s desire for Italian flair and the head’s caution about long-term upkeep.
