Tyler leaving his 2 cents in the back seat was so funny to me😂😂😂
And on here, he claims to have no cents...
The car that only a renowned mechanic’s wife can own
x1000
I’d be more afraid of cost of parts than the cost of labor.🤔
"Well, if you can turn a wrench......" There are a lot of cars like that though.
I believe that transmission was known to be crap, and not that good either. I never got into the syling of these, but hey, nice car.
Car is great grand touring car like the 928 but I think nicer looking. The F1 is a 20K life on clutch and like Corvette and XLR whole torque tube and rear end have to come out. I don't like clutch life. Also they have sticky button issues. How Ferrari and Maserati cannot do that right and everyone else can is shocking. But I do think the car is nice.
Wizard earned my respect when on one video he said, "I owe my success to Hoovie." Most people's ego's are so through the roof they forget where they came from. I wish you many more years of success and here's to the road to a million.
"..we don't really get into that...too much." Hedging your bets, there, Mr. Wizard!
he paused just a beat too long on that one lol
Hoovie is contagious...
The 4200/Coupe is a brilliant car , the last true Maserati ever made. I had 3 of them. You should repaint the black wheels back to silver - Looks cheap with black wheels
You and Mrs. Wizard are real good folks. Keep up with the good videos!
Love those blue instrument dials !
Did you give Hoovie real money, or just a credit for repair labor?
Iirc, in 2021, Tyler spent 80k at the Car Wizards shop. I imagine 2022 is considerably more. That would be quite an IOU for the Car Wizard if he wanted to run the debt that way ;)
The Car Wizards has the coolest walk on RUclips! I'd love to see a continuous loop video of him just waddling around on his stubby little legs with Pantera's WALK as the background music!
He waddles like a lame duck🤣🤣🤣
i suspect lumbar pain may have something to do with it
Wizard totally undersold that exhaust sound! Wow!
I always liked what Mazarati made, but was always leary of their strength and parts availability. Didn't want to get into a pit..
Never mind that even high end service computers can't talk to Maseratis.... And the service info easily available, eg not in AllData or other such services.
Endless money pit
was tempted for a while to get one of these, but decided to go out in the garage and shine up my old RX7 instead... the turd you know vs the one you don't know.
They're an exotic but one that's cheap to run - mine has paid for all the service and fuel and all other costs just through appreciation alone.
And service has been very cheap. Clutch changes are expensive, some parts are expensive, but generally speaking, they're not much more than other European makes to service
Something I love about Italian made vehicles is they emote passion, whether it is a mechanical symphony, or a physical emotions or driving dynamics. Something the other European car companies have bred out of their vehicles almost to the point they're to clinical for my tastes.
Hey Car Wizard, love that you've gotten into the weird wonderful world of classic Maserati!
I'd really love to get hold of you for a chat. I work a fair bit with these cars, and I can see that your car has a bunch of the typical issues that these have. I'm an owner and I've had to design a bunch of parts to fix the problems and I'd really like to show you and get some of these parts to you!
That exhaust is absolutely aftermarket, the X-pipe has been replaced and so have the mufflers. The headers and cats are original. I've made a video about how the factory exhaust on this car was set up. On my car, I went back to the earliest version of the exhaust which a completely different beast!
We need more of your videos and updates on your gransport.
@@Peter-xq9tz I've been working hard on some of the replacement parts which is why I haven't filmed much recently! Once I fix the control arms, I'll be focusing on the car again!
So that settles it then, the Ferrari belongs to the Wizard!!
Wish Wizard would have spend more time giving his input on the car vs just going over the car for "service" items.
1) prior history with these cars
2) any shared parts from manufactures?
3) major service items and estimated costs
4) reliability/expectations
Way to go Mrs. Wizard...
I have the same car here in uk. Those wheels you now have are standard on the gransport but i think if you refinish them in maserati mercury grey which would be standard on that car it would look much better. Exhaust is not standard, xpipe in unsilenced (aftermarket) and rear silencer tips are not standard so i reckon rear boxes are also non standard. Great car enjoy it vastly underated
US spec cars often have differences. It may be standard here.
I really like these and in the UK Still hood value. Can't afford a third car til next years bonus lol!
That x pipe looked standard but the back boxes are aftermarket, look larini to me
@@bentoole6205 I thought that too at first but upon closer look I think it’s 4200 back boxes probably because it has some Larini or similar that have been sold separately by a previous owner and 4200 boxes are easier to find than the GS ones to replace then with. The x pipe is not standard which hints that the car once had more exhaust bits. Shame it’s still got the US spec cats. I’ve had 3 gransports, love them.
Us cars came standard with an X-pipe, as opposed to all the other worldwide deliveries. The back boxes on this car are not stock, all the rest is stock. On my car I had removed the secondary cats and custom built pipes that were less squashed before where the secondary cats are.
Another great video ! Thanks Mr and Mrs Wizard!
Car Wizard and his wife's acting deserves an oscar!
Maserati Transport is a new one to me 😂🙈 New Wizard video though, WOHOOOO!!
The dream team do it again! So well deserved Mrs Wizard, enjoy every mile, keep up the great content 🙂
I love how Mrs. Wizard says and as we scroll down I just giggle like a kid again 🤣
Kinda waiting for summer when Mrs. Wizard comes riding in on her new Harley. Turn about is fair play!
These are definitely a car that deserves more credit, I love my cambiocorsa. Just about every electronic part is from some European economy car they’re cheap to run as long as you buy parts using the number on the part, but even then I got a brand new MAF from Maserati (same one as a 316i) for £28, and a BCM for £130
Yeah the rest of the commenters here have no idea - my gransport has made me money on ownership (if I sold it), not lost it. It's a brilliant car and less expensive than an Alfa to run
Sweet sounding engine! 😍🤩😍 As long as someone else takes care of maintenance and repairs... 😉 Not your regular Hooptie.... Love the GranTurismo too...
Love the maserati sound, just doubt it is the stock system, the gransports have square end tips with vacuum operated valves, not round ones! But with that sound, who cares! Enjoy your diva!!!
I’m just picturing Mrs. Wizard rolling up to school in her Maserati, and that exhaust grumbling one more time as she parks. 😱
is this channel gonna turn into a car buying series now? getting old to watch Wizard getting yelled at and warned about wanting to buy a vehicle, then now see his wife buy one instead!?
Hey Wiz. Did you watch the Car Issues episode? The guy who sold the Maserati to Hoovie put an aftermarket Tubi exhaust on it.
Not everything aftermarket is bad. Just like all tuners like AMG (before Mercedes bought it) or Mugen (started by the Honda family) are bad.
Clean looking car! Black wheels don’t exactly make it, just sort of ok looking.
Exactly....
Ik would do a metallic grey one or two tones darker than the car itself.
The red brake calipers sets it of real nice
Really beautiful car. I like the original wheels. Not to worry.
When Mrs. Car Wizard is having fun, Mr. Car Wizard is a happy wizard. 🤣👍
Happy wife - happy life 😁
@@_Jester_ No wife - even happier life 😉
A very nice Gransport for Mrs Wizard.
I ran one of these from a similar milage and it went well until it approached 50k miles
then the know issues started, the throttle body is infamous and i am covinced they used carbon
tracked pots so that they wear out, thankfully there is an upgrade the solves the issue forever.
Keep an eye out for subframe corrosion, living in the damp UK is not good for these cars.
I replaced my Gransport with a facelifted 2010 Quattroporte with a ZF auto box
not the trouble prone Duo Select, ensuring that all the know weakspots had been seen to
togeather with underbody protection to the all the metal parts.
I much prefered it to the Gransport, i was lucky to find a special GT-S awards edition in
specially-developed pale gold "Quarzo fuso" pearlescent paint, it looked stunning.
I hope Mrs Wizard enjoys many miles of trouble free driving, i am sure David will be
able to fix any issues that arise.
Tyler left his two cents in the back of the car. They had me laughing
20 MPH and 500 RPM with the engine off. Gives new meaning to 'looks like it's moving while it's sitting still'.
Wizard, you realise that Cambiocorsa is the name of the gearbox, and not the model of the car? It translates into English as Race Transmission, i.e., the same as Ferrari's "F1" transmission. But, because Maserati had no involvement in the sport of F1, they gave the transmission a different name when used in the Maserati. Also, the "base" model of the GranSport would be the Coupé.
That's amazing car. Very reliable. I have both coupe and spyder. Last breed of ferrari/maserati era.
Go Mrs. Wizard!
Nice sound!
Mrs. Wizard must be the coolest teacher at school. Driving around in her Mazerati. Yea boy.
loving Car Issues, and this episode was lottsa fun!!
Wow great condition , it seams like there is no problems with sticky buttons, i drove some 4200gt and that sound is just great, and that manual transmission 🤤, but they all feel a bit broken with the rear differentials😅
Happy that the Wizard family can afford to live the high life, they deserve it, hope RUclips helped :)
High life? A 15 year old Italian car 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ua7pyro591 one of 20 cars :)
And you say BMW is unreliable.........Bwah-ha-ha-ha.....have fun with the Northstar Caddy, Jag and Maserati.....you'll need it!
Great purchase, I had one.. fantastic dry sump engine, put a Larini race back exhaust with sports cats on it and it sounds Devine if you don’t do to much city driving the clutch lasts for ages, ignore the PISS readings just use the old fashion if it slips or you can smell it, it’s going…or jumps out of gear… The carbon fibre is real not the BMW looking stuff. That clock moves if you hold the button down.
I'm a35+ year tech. I like yor videos and the way you treat customers. Watching the up and comers I've learned that ASE stands for ask somebody else. Nothing like hands on experience.
Congratulations Mrs Wizard!!! 👍🙂👍
Mrs Wizard has a good taste,Wizard😁The only thing I noticed was that the car is parked with the engine off,but still showing 20mph and 500rpm and this just reminds you :It's an Italian car after all😄Good luck with it and enjoy it!🙂
I had a FIAT once and the dials never fully went back to zero when turned off, must be an Italian thing. 🤣
Hey Wizard ,that's a stunning car i like it , the only thing i prefer is if it was a gated manuel , other than that it's perfect
Congratulations, that is awesome!
Congratulations on Mrs. Wizards new ride ❤♥️🍺
I dont know why this car isnt talked about more, it is really gorgeous. Future classic for sure.
Because it's seen as a Poor Man's Ferrari with all the normal Italian problems
Because it’s a good looking piece of junk
Earlier models automatic wasn’t the best poor interior quality rising park prices…
Very expensive parts.
@@630Cars many parts are from other carmakes. Alfa romeo fex so cheaper to get
You know, when I was watching Car Issues I just couldn’t figure out who would be the perfect owner for this car. Of COURSE Mrs. Wizard is the right person, and the students are going to love her dual Maseratis.
Reminds me of those early car races in the 1900s, when a mechanic would ride in the car next to the driver, because that’s what you’ll need with a Maserati, having your husband the mechanic ride with you at all times.
I get all the looks and thumbs up when out driving my 1985 Nissan King Cab 4x4 and what is even cooler is I rarely ever see any other trucks like it they have become so rare now in certain areas of the country. I will trade you Wizard!
That car is awesome but the interior console controls seems ancient even to 2005 lol. Sounds amazing tho! I'd drive that thing all day any day
Love these. Great design giugaro I think. Dash is classy and seats in gransport are ace. And I really like the single clutches. Still mechanical but new age.
That's awesome you guys have an app. You guys are moving up the entrepreneur ranks. Awesome
oh boy... that thing is sooooo cool.
And the sound!
Very nice and yeah I still see the JAGELLE sittin up there just waiting
Love the sound it sounds glorious
Another great video from the wizard. Keep it up
Agree, that is a beautiful car. A car that is special but not over the top. Understated class.
Helps to have a shop to own one. 😉
Great Carr, great condition, but did I see some distortion on a front cross-member?
Beautiful car those wheels definitely look good
The Navi system is the same as loads of cars, land rover Freelander for one. They just bought them from Becker. Awesome car for Mrs wizard though, beautiful and surprisingly tough
Wizard, you now can take full ownership of that red sports card now that Mrs wizard taken this one. Totally look forward to your videos.
Kaipara, New Zealand.
What a beautiful car! Enjoy Mrs Wizard.
THATS A BEAUTIFUL CAR! GOOD FOR U WIZARD!
A "thumbs up" car like this in Wichita goes unnoticed in Fort Lauderdale unfortunately. My next door neighbor has the next generation version of this car.
I'd have the wheels brought back to the original silver.
Great video!
These are amazing. Congratulations
You can also catch the episodes now out on Motor Trend TV cable network. That's where I watched mine the other day.
Sounds amazing 🤘🏽🔥
Nice looking car, Mrs. Wizard.. Some Maserati look quite dated nowadays but not that one. Classic lines and shape, and with a good colour. Let's hope it's reliable (as much as they can be, at least;)).
Very brave buying a hooptie, gl with it,ull definitely need it!👁👁👁😫😮🤨🤔🤔🤔
Weeeezard! You have some interesting metal in there, hope you'll do a video on both the R129 SL and the GX.
I wish Australia had a mechanic like the wizard you know honest and he knows what he's doing👍
Beautiful car. Nice purchase Mrs. Wizard
It really sounds amazing!
The back almost looks like a 2000’s Honda.
Or Volvo 60s 2000-2009 and 2010-2018 🤔
The reason the 4200 ended up with those tail lights was because of US laws on the amount of reflective area in the tail light. The 3200 had way cooler tail lights but were not sold in the USA.
Johnny Sack's car! Jenni had trouble getting in because of her "knees" lol.
The grill, engine and dash just amazing. Two cents just crack me up…🤣🤣🤣
Good call on the black wheels. I did the same thing on a yellow LT4 Corvette I owned years ago. It makes your Maserati POP! It looks very nice. Mrs. Wizard is definitely a driver. So does this mean you now get the Ferrari once it comes back from the tuner? Or is ownership (drivership) of the Ferrari still up in the air?
It's awesome that this time, Mrs. Wizard drops the car purchase bombshell on the Car Wizard. Usually it's the other way around. I'm glad to see he is not the only one with access to the bank account.
Hi Car Wizard. Your wife will love the Gransport. Go to the the maserati life forum they are a good bunch heaps of great help on there.
Your wheels look correct they should be light grey though. You need to get a. launch mini pro x431 so you can adjust your clutch and fault find issues.
Stunning vehicle, congratulations 😊
You can easily add an aux in to that Becker radio. For about $15! Line in or Bluetooth!
Very nice Mrs. Wizard you will have a lot of fun in that car. God bless
Woooooee. Nice set of wheels Mrs. Wiz. Fancy shmancy. The wife has to ride in style too.👍❤🤑😃😎👀
That sure is a BEAUTIFUL CAR.....Thanks Mr & Mrs Wizard's...........................
Shoe🇺🇸
Great deal on those baller wheels; but I wonder what car would look good with them? Maybe a clapped out 2000's civic or something?
it would look fine in any early 00's lexus tbh.
@@cadeira2261 yeah like an old IS or something, that would be perfect
Gorgeous cars. Almost bought one, but decided on a C5 Z06 instead. Might still buy one :)
Excellent video
I always liked these cars! Plus pretty rare to see on the road
Enjoy guys awesome
Great buy mrs wizard!!
Oh Mrs. Wizard! What have you done!?! Lol. It's a beauty!
keep in mind with an F1 transmission its best to shift into neutral by pulling both paddles back when your stopped. saves on clutch wear when your at a stop. The dual clutch style is better.
Some kid in Kansas: "my mom drives a Maserati".. Some school kid in Kansas: " my teacher drives a Maserati".. Some guy named David in Kansas: "YES! I got my Ferrari 308 back!"
So Wizard, I just realized your an true angel on earth. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@10:30 I think there is a nail in your left front tire a shiny head and it looks like a hole. Or something weird like we’re they studded tires?
3:43 hope that paintless dent repair (PDR) will help you
