I purchase a 2009 Maserati Quattroporte S at auction and attempt to drive it home across the US. I also explain why I think this car is underrated and underpriced in the market.

    I have a grudge against the lack of content.

    As an Italian who owned several of these, i can definitely say, they are great, just buy the ZF transmission models that came after the small facelift, the ones that break are the F1 "Ferrari" transmission ones, here in Europe the F1 equipped cars are worth half what the ZF cars are. It is a great sedan, maybe the best sedan ever made, The engines are bulletproof with the right care and maintenance, comfortable, sounds amazing, check if the transmission had a service, ZF and Maserati say that is lifetime, but all the specialists suggest a flush and filter every 70k miles. As for the suspension going on and off, check the shock connectors, they can get weathered and malfunction, also the accelerometer can go bad. Those cars also like to sort itself sometimes when you leave the battery unplugged overnight, we call it an Italian reset. the Buttons behind the steering wheel are for the radio, the top and bottom ones change the radio station and or changes the CD on the CD changer, the middle one usually makes the navigation come up on the screen.

    You have brass balls buying most of these vehicles. My friend bought one years ago, also in Phoenix, from the previous owner. Fantastic car and the absolute most comfortable front passenger seat I've ever sat in. About 4-5 months after he got it, he was going to his office on the freeway and the engine stopped, somewhat noisily. Broken valves, camshaft and assorted other parts and a $27,000 bill from the dealer for the 7 week fix, were enough to persuade him to sell it soon after. Best of luck to the bravest risk taker in buying high end luxury cars for dirt cheap on YouTube.
  • Waldo, this is what I come here to watch and appreciate such content. I wish there would be more follow up on incomplete projects.
  • And his quest to own a luxury sedan from every car producing nation continues! Welcome back Waldo, I so hope you wish and will manage to upload more frequently 🙏🏻

    I've never been so anxious about the releasing of a YouTube video. Keep up the wonderful work!!
  • Radiator hoses, belts, and rubber gaskets do not like Arizona heat. What a great sound after ditching that muffler! Well chosen.

    Welcome back!! I was literally just wondering what happened to you considering i hadn't seen a new video and thought maybe I didn't turn on notifications. And then a few hours later, this video dropped!! I was like Waldo heard me!!!!

    Waldo! We missed you. Hope everything is well. Good to see you back.

    This channel is one of the only ones where I'll stop whatever im doing to immediately watch a new video
  • So relaxing to watch. I want to visit US as a tourist someday to do road trips like this.
  • Waldo, you are smart for avoiding I40, it's in disrepair, crumbling and so many miles of potholes. I believe one pothole was so bad that it destroyed a womans front end, causing her to lose control, flip her car and she passed away. I do know that her family is suing the state of Arizona.
  • Little tip for draining oil: loosen the nut with your tool until you can take it off by hand, then you can get it out of the way quick enough to not get oil everywhere
  • Waldo you're back!!! Soo happy to have another video!!! I love your content!!!
