Parts! Lots of things are one-offs so parts are unique to the car. Years ago I did a tour of a distributor who got all the parts inventory for these cars after they were a few years old. I think the name of the place was MIE or MEI, something like that. They were located in Bellevue WA. You might do a search on them and give them a call. They were nice folks and they knew alot about these cars.

They have all the parts you'll ever need. MIE is Maserati Information Exchange. Go to www.maseratinet.com
I was a member of the Maserati Club which I think is known as MCI.

I didn't own a Merek but I always thought they looked cool. 6 cyl right? I expect it will break alot. My maserati always brought me heart ache. Was very fun to drive when it was running optimally but it was only running optimally 25% of the time. I hated to sell it but truth be told there a great weight lifted off my shoulders when it went. You really will be spending a lot of money just to keep it going. My 914 is more dependable and cheaper to fix. Interior pieces are very costly so make sure the interior is flawless. You will not make money on the car. Not ever. The only good source of info is the MIE. Go ahead and look for a board like this for maseratis.
