Had one and it nearly destroyed me, had it and loved it for two years , sold it and swore I would NEVER buy another….Well a further two years on and what do I drive now …yes you guessed it….another Quattroporte 4.7. Why …well it’s Monica Bellucci on four wheels and there is nothing like it for driving feel ,Italian theatre and then there is the cacophony of noise .🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I’ve had one for 5 years and 30k miles. Bought it as a bit of a joke before Harry Metcalfe and others started talking about how great they are. It’s been great. And surprisingly reliable!
Wow..Good on ya Joel this is exactly why I subscribed and watch this channel. You certainly live and drive with no bull shit purchases and never forget where you started . Pound for pound you give better value than nearly any other channel. Keep the content coming kid.
I knew it! 😆 I was eying up this one on V8 Vault too! Kudos to you taking the leap! I can now watch with great interest through you, to see whether I made the right choice in buying it or not 😆
I just miss out on 4.7 2009 quattroporte. For €5000 here in Ireland. It had an engine problem. Hope you don't get big bills. Looking forward to the next video. 😊
It's badass bro. I recently got a Mercedes CL500 5.0 V8. Slammed it, straight pipe, with possible huge hydraulic suspension bill on horizon. But it's gangsta af, everyone loves it and I'm hooked :) enjoy it
Cracking car Joel has some presence. Money pit comes to mind hope your pockets are deep. Looking forward to the upcoming videos for the mazzer. Your a brave man
Sure this pulled up outside my local. Recognise the reg and i told the owner i loved it and i bet it sounds incredible. He got back in and revved it for me n the kids and i can honestly say it did.
Hey man i been following you videos for many years i followed you because you had the Z4 and something that i have to say is please Joel please wash the cars before the video man, love the video! keep it like that
Ah yes the long distance sale. I got stung with that buying a Volvo 740, what arrived was a car that had become 90% rust and soon went to the scrap yard.
Knew it straight away, mainly due to my endless hours of searching Autotrader for Maseratis “price: low to high”! Nice colour combo with the lighter interior, bit risky buying it sight unseen but we’ve all been there, right?
Oh, how you explain what you did with this purchase 😂😂😂 I see a future in comedy here 😂 it's pretty much, "all the good stuff? Nope, none". I'm currently exactly there and spent exactly the same. Dumbest, why the heck did I do that move in my life 😅😂 I'm like screw it all, but everyone was waiting for the breakdown, and so I had to prove them wrong, so I just drove it 3300km in 2 days 'to travel' 😅😂 (sshhh about check engine + limp mode).. what have I done!!! Someone wanna crash into the car, very hard please? 😂😂😂
Under 10mins? I thought this was going to be in the 30min ball park at least. Love the sound on these. Brave purchase. Look forward to seeing how you get on.
Joel I know this is unrelated and you stopped making videos about this car 2 years ago, but would you recommend I get a Z4 as a first car? They are pretty affordable and I'm looking for a good convertible.
What a lovely car id be worried about the sleepless stress it causes of it lol someone's gotta do it though. :) like the fs and jeffs at end of video as well.
Joel you must have a huge set of Apple's to buy a Maserati Quattroporte..Kudos on that..looking forward to your follow-up video when you have to remortgage your house to get the Maserati fixed 👍👍🤌🤌🤌🤌😆😆
i stumbled across this video and wasn't disappointed , i even subscribed , i like the front no plate look , but if you had to put plate on id put a short one on
I can see exactly why you've fallen in love , there's just something about them 👌 Quick service & a detail and across to the Alps for a trip I say 😁 very best of luck with her 🤞
For that price, I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the car had major issues to sort out 😅 Very nice motor though, with an awesome sound track 😎
Because you only live once… that’s why we buy cars like this , I’ve just bought an Autobiography Range Rover TDv8 for not much at all… the heart definitely took over on this decision 😅
Be interesting to know the fuel economy vs the Cayenne. Could do a video on how far can the cayenne get on a full tank vs the maserati. Perhaps your wife could drive the Cayenne 😀
I do love the quattroporte but I think the pre facelift doesn’t actually deserve its “beautiful” title. Looks a bit like a fancy Ford Scorpio to me. The facelift looks great even though they barely tweaked it but for the tiniest bit more money you can get a gran tourismo which is more supercar and more beautiful and I want one so badly but am way too scared 😂
@@lbnewell23 it’s funny I’ve always disliked the way the facelift looks, and for me the early cars are the pretty ones. There’s an arse for every seat as they say
@@itsjoel exactly. Was talking to someone the other day as I’m looking at buying a Z4 and I can’t decide between an e86 Z4 coupe or a e89 Z4 23i and we had a long discussion about the e85/6 and how I would much rather have the coupe for the looks and he would never get one because a Z4 should be a convertible but that’s what makes the car scene so interesting you can find someone with opposite opinions on one topic and then completely align with you on others. Makes for great conversation
Who guessed it from the thumbnail? 😉
...guessed it from the title before seeing the thumbnail 😂
... surely expected the shitbox but you got the ZF box...glorious banger
@@Feix I suppose it can only really be one thing
It was only a matter of time, we're going to be living vicariously through these videos!
Knew it from the title let alone the thumbnail 😂… at least (I see from comments) you got the better gearbox
I guessed it was a Maserati, bit was unsure whether it was a ghibli or a quattroporte😂
THE ORIGINAL JOEL IS BACK! SOUND over anything else! Yeah boi, you were why I bought my first E85 Z4. Loved the V12, send it my man 🙏
Same, also bought an E85 Z4 because of Joel. And my name is even Joel 😂 I wonder how many people legit bought their Z4's because of him...
@@joelarets haha mega, my friend has mine now, still fully straight piped 🙏😅
what e85 z4 did you own? I had the 2.5i back when Joel had the 3.0l
Same here! And still in love with my e85 z4 🎉
@@CarsofGlasgow Yeah 2.5i in black hah. Obligatory straight pipe, intake, lowered it, 19" CSLs. Tis a beaut.
Great choice Joel, that v8 sounds awesome. Welcome to Italian supercar maintenance!
You’ll have to have a go in it!
Had one and it nearly destroyed me, had it and loved it for two years , sold it and swore I would NEVER buy another….Well a further two years on and what do I drive now …yes you guessed it….another Quattroporte 4.7.
Why …well it’s Monica Bellucci on four wheels and there is nothing like it for driving feel ,Italian theatre and then there is the cacophony of noise .🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Looking forward to how this series develops 😀👍
Congrats man!! These cars need saving! They are exceptionally special ❤️
Your channel came to mind when I saw the thumbnail haha
Mine might be going to Glasgow to help save a GranTourismo
Well done Joel! Definitely the coolest car you've bought in my opinion
It's never a bad decision to buy an Italian Stallion! We absolutely love our Italian cars on our channel!
Loved the video Joel!
BMW V10 vibes !!! Love the embracing of the soon to ensue chaos !
Hopefully the V10 BMW will be a car on the channel in the future
Loved my Quatroporte, look forward to next one. 👍👍👍👍
Definitely don't watch M539 Restorations series on his Maserati purchase.
Just about to say the same!
Love that car Joel. The colour combo is perfect!!! Well done mate!!!!!
I'm not often envious of other cars but I love that
Looking forward to the next episode!
I've had 2 Cat S cars, both performance of their league, were some of the best condition cars I've had. This is mega
I'm with you on the reason why you wanted the Quatroporte, when Clarkson and Co tested them against the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide
Thats a sweet car, heres hoping that maintenance wont be bad!
Fingers crossed. I literally have no idea yet
I’ve had one for 5 years and 30k miles. Bought it as a bit of a joke before Harry Metcalfe and others started talking about how great they are. It’s been great. And surprisingly reliable!
Interesting!
Knew it! Glad to see one of these on the channel 👀 can’t wait for future content and a road trip? 😁
More to come!
Wow..Good on ya Joel this is exactly why I subscribed and watch this channel. You certainly live and drive with no bull shit purchases and never forget where you started . Pound for pound you give better value than nearly any other channel. Keep the content coming kid.
Wicked, looking forward to this series Joel. Im sure this car is going to bring out some great content! Good luck 🤞🏻
Fingers crossed!
Lovely car mate!! Good luck with it!
Oh you brave brave man

Excited to see more of this!
I love this car, looking forward to the series!
Questionable decisions deserve to be told 🤗
Brought a smile to my face with this one joel. Csnt wait for the next one
It's badass bro. I recently got a Mercedes CL500 5.0 V8. Slammed it, straight pipe, with possible huge hydraulic suspension bill on horizon. But it's gangsta af, everyone loves it and I'm hooked :) enjoy it
Love this with you all the way man 🎉
Love it!!
Cracking car Joel has some presence. Money pit comes to mind hope your pockets are deep. Looking forward to the upcoming videos for the mazzer. Your a brave man
Great video ✌
Thanks ✌
Get ready for bills, but start with straight piping that mother :) Give us the beans! 🏎
Very much looking forward to content on this car, love a nice V8!
You and me both!
I’ve only seen the title and I’m already like this 🫣
Sure this pulled up outside my local. Recognise the reg and i told the owner i loved it and i bet it sounds incredible. He got back in and revved it for me n the kids and i can honestly say it did.
Really looking forward to seeing this in person! I think the spec is absolutely perfect, and period correct.
Was just looking on autotrader at these!! Gorgeous!!
Actually I think I may have looked at yours. Top spec V8 CAT S (filter by price low to high)
Hey man i been following you videos for many years i followed you because you had the Z4 and something that i have to say is please Joel please wash the cars before the video man, love the video! keep it like that
Nice to see you purchased something very interesting ❤
Thank you 😊
Ah yes the long distance sale. I got stung with that buying a Volvo 740, what arrived was a car that had become 90% rust and soon went to the scrap yard.
Yes, can either be a big pay off, or big error
Love it Joel
Top work Joe.
It does sound amazing Joel looking forward to this series of videos on the maserati
Knew it straight away, mainly due to my endless hours of searching Autotrader for Maseratis “price: low to high”! Nice colour combo with the lighter interior, bit risky buying it sight unseen but we’ve all been there, right?
@@JAYPCARS definitely a risk, but that interior makes it worth it!
Awesome car Joel,buy with your heart!
What a thing to wake up to on a Monday 😂 Didn't see this coming! This content is great!! 😁
Glad you enjoy it!
@@itsjoel 😁😁
Two QPVs in one month! Looking forward to this. Such a good looking car.

Love the sound on these. Brave purchase. Look forward to seeing how you get on.
There will be more videos don’t worry
You & Jamie FYD scratching that itch.
What a stunner. At least when it breaks, you can just sit and look at it.
Joel I know this is unrelated and you stopped making videos about this car 2 years ago, but would you recommend I get a Z4 as a first car? They are pretty affordable and I'm looking for a good convertible.
Congratulations mate! You’re a braver man than me 👏😅
Than I or than me? 🤔🤔
Thanks 😅
@@carsandcustard Actually I wasn't sure of the correct grammar, which is why I was asking
What a lovely car id be worried about the sleepless stress it causes of it lol someone's gotta do it though. :) like the fs and jeffs at end of video as well.
Haha thanks for watching
A QuattroPorte, I guessed that from the video title. The tears start now.
What an absolute mad lad..
This is defo my favourite car you have had ive wanted one for so long im jealous
Congratulations Joel it like fantastic✌️
Thank you! 👍
Joel you must have a huge set of Apple's to buy a Maserati Quattroporte..Kudos on that..looking forward to your follow-up video when you have to remortgage your house to get the Maserati fixed 👍👍🤌🤌🤌🤌😆😆
Buying one is the easy part. Maintaining it is another thing altogether. I hope you have deep pockets joel😊
Great video, had me hooked from the beginning. Although there looks like plenty of DNA around the centre console carbon fibre 😂
i stumbled across this video and wasn't disappointed , i even subscribed , i like the front no plate look , but if you had to put plate on id put a short one on
Oh dear, I've not even watched it and I can tell this one's going to need a trigger warning 🤣
In the first 90 seconds of this I went from "what a stupid idea" to "actually, I might buy one" the moment I heard the revs. 😂
You're a risk taker Joel 😂
Love it!
Brilliant! 😎 That’s exactly what I wanted to see with Cayenne. You’re on your way becoming 04 rich 😂
I’m like a lottery winner but 20 years ago 😂
Joel this is why I subscribe to your channel - you are totally nuts. 😂
Cracking motor!
Nice to see you using the Hogs Back Hotel & spa access road as a test strip!… 🤣 although the A331 would be faster 😜
The ZF is way better, I reckon the skyhook suspension has problems… they are pretty strong motors in general.
I can see exactly why you've fallen in love , there's just something about them 👌
Quick service & a detail and across to the Alps for a trip I say 😁 very best of luck with her 🤞
This should be a magnificent error in judgement, looking forward to seeing how this goes :)
This is going to be.... interesting
Thought it was a BMW E63 M6 from the thumbnail... but the Maserati is also a tasty one
That is such a gorgeous car!
Please get a pro involved to detail it! 🎉
Yeah boy!!! 😎
An economy run would be cool to see with this to see how many miles you can get on a tank
I think Jamie FYD has just bought one too. Bets on what one costs more to sort out 😮 Joking aside, lovely!
Joel great video did you no 'all' the car's faults before you bought?
For that price, I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the car had major issues to sort out 😅
Very nice motor though, with an awesome sound track 😎
Very true!
After watching m539 video on his… I would sell it before you get bit by it.
Different generation - totally different car
Should make for great content Joel!
Because you only live once… that’s why we buy cars like this , I’ve just bought an Autobiography Range Rover TDv8 for not much at all… the heart definitely took over on this decision 😅
Life is too short!
I want a 4.4 tdv8 so badly but because im only an hour outside London insurers just say no 😢
@@lbnewell23 that’s so frustrating!
What year and how much?
This content is much better than your ‘brutally honest’ content. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Be interesting to know the fuel economy vs the Cayenne. Could do a video on how far can the cayenne get on a full tank vs the maserati. Perhaps your wife could drive the Cayenne 😀
Stockport mentioned 🚨🚨🚨
I could have sworn I saw you in this the other day. 😅 Looks like you've moved very close to me. Do shout if you ever need a camera op.
Where are you based? Can email me if you like: hello@itsjoel.co.uk
Such a pretty car!

Sell that v8 plate, and 🤞 that will cover the inspection cost.
Nice 👍
You might be able to track some history from Maserati when it was nearly new
I called this a while ago. I saw it on your Instagram and commented that I hoped it was yours.
@@jegethy well done! You guessed right
The Maserati four door… sounds less exotic… but the exhaust makes up for it
There are two words....Money PIT.
