I'm not seriously looking yet. Probably a late 2025/early 2026 serious look. I really don't have many options though from the looks of it. Maybe x3 4.0 or if the right f31 came up, but most have more mileage than I want.

I didnt modify mine at all, so im not sure. But i wouldnt go through the dealership if you are looking for parts. Its already depreciated to such a retarded amount that its not worth throwing in OEM parts. You wont really get any more $ out of it when you sell it, if you use OEM crap. Youre in the states so its even easier to get some really decent aftermarket parts. The few GT's ive seen that have been in accidents all seem to have 5-10k worth of work for just a corner. Im sure the body parts are NOT CHEAP.
Remember to check that maseratilife link i posted for the engine chassis #. it'll determine whether or not you have a variator issue (which is the biggets failing). The rest of the car is pretty reliable and easy to work on.

And no folding rear seats, I think for Quadrofolioajioashfauhfao (I cant spell it) You want late 2019+
But yes, thats is an extremely inticing package for under $50K.... If i was a mechanic...
I am super envious of my coworker, he is a sales now, but he was a certified Fiat/Alfa/BMW/Mazda/Nissan tech.... he always buys interesting cars on the side to drive for a few months and somehow sell them at a profit after he fixes a few issues with them.
Imagine not worrying buying into out of warranty European cars, a man can dream! lolollolol

But yea, with the amount of sensors and software that is going on these days. It is no longer that you bolt everything in, with maybe some adapter plates.
Plug Holley, AEM, Haltech, MoTeC, someone online tune this car out so everything plays nice while retaining alot of OEM perks like, linking engine response, transmission sharpness, rev-match, suspension/damper, e-lsd limits to all "run well" in different modes from ECO to Track etc etc etc
Or even something as simple as Launch Control can have all sorts of weird parameters that I assume normal people like us wont know what to do with...
It is already an impossible amount of work/calibration even if all manufacture ECU were open source, now mix in encryption into the mix...

The engineer in me thinks modern cars are amazing because of ECU coordination—it’s what makes everything work seamlessly.
The car guy in me loves how cars like the E39/E46, Giulia, Durango SRT/Hellcat, ZL1, Viper, and C7 ZR1 nail the perfect balance of comfort and sportiness through pure tuning magic, not just electronics.
