2004 CTS-V with 128K for $16.5K. Not totally sure what these go for nowadays but seems reasonable.

2007s are at the tail end of the 10 year extended warranty on the high pressure fuel pumps that like to implode.

Even if HPFP has been done, expect to have to do turbos, injectors, water pump, carbon cleaning, and add an oil cooler.

Are the late build N54s any better? or are they in general a motor to avoid, and look for an N55 instead?

late ones are "less" problematic.

the ones equipped in the Z4 35i / 35is and the 335is aren't as problem prone as the early 07 08 09 N54's

Interior has aged horribly, especially the dashboard.

There's a reason you don't see 15 year old GM products on the road other than their trucks.
Even the high end junk is still junk. The vette usually escapes it because of their impracticality and loving owners taking care of them over the babied mileage.

This quattroporte is a decent deal. The owner seems like your typical anal rententive maserati owner. Dealership serviced since new means he's dumped in roughly 2k-4k per service since 2011.
The 4.7 Ferrari built V8 is actually reliable as it's the same engine in my Granturismo and I can attest to it's reliability. No major issues with the power train. Control arms are a common wear item along with expensive fluids.

This is a pure maserati. Before all the FCA Chrysler junk permeating the lineup ... Cough cough Ghibli.

Just make sure it's not burning a ton of oil. The 2005-2006 MT sedans and 2005-2007 MT coupes use the VQ35DE Rev-up which has issues with oil consumption.

The automatics used the regular VQ35DE until the VQ35HR replaced it starting with the 2007 G35 sedan and 2007 350z, the G35 coupe never came with the VQ35HR. The main difference is the Rev-up has VVT on the both the intake and exhaust valves whereas the non Rev-up only has VVT on the intake valves.

When I worked for an Infiniti dealer I saw some cars with the Rev-up engine that burnt more oil than my old worn out B16 Anyone considering one of these cars should hold out for one with the HR, it's so much better.

Sounds pretty good for the price: 2002 Protege5, 5 speed, 250k, brand new timing belt with receipts. $1,600. Needs minor body work? As long as it's not hiding a ton of rust it might not be too bad, or just leave it and drive it.

A 5.0L in good shape has never really dropped below 6-8k. I'd say it is probably well worth 15k. A lot of nostalgia out there for those cars.
