Thinking of trading in the GS

Thinking of trading in the GS
So I've been pondering my next car for awhile, unable to make up my mind. I'm kinda kicking around a '03-04 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa...

Needless to say it won't quite have the Lexus reliability, and the engine is from the Ferrari 360...but beyond that, does anyone have any experience with these cars? I'm looking for details, thoughts, opinions other than "nice car!".
Thanks!
PS. Don't mean to be an ***, but could we skip the random "Screw it, get an AMG or M3 and call 'er a day" comments?

my friend has a f430 mostly sits in the garage because the maintenance is a lot on italian cars. I think he pays like 2800 for an oil change and like 10k for a new clutch. I'd go with a is-f or gt-r instead.

well if you want to pay that kind of money to try to impress people.... but on the street or tract your not going to impress anybody or yourself ....

I love these cars, not many people do but there is just something about them and owning a Maserati in itself is an experience, good or bad depending on how you look at it. I would get it, but if i were you, buy it as a third car and just keep the gs. Since it a 1998 and i think you are trading it in, they won't give you much for it solely based on the year
