While this is great, and I vastly prefer it over a Maserati. Maserati’s do not hold value, even a 5 or 6 year old one is well within an average budget, they are awesome cars (i think) for a project vehicle if thats your thing.
Yeah, no way buying that land cost less than a used Maserati, and it’ll certainly hold value better. Probably should’ve just said “This is my luxury car” or something. Kinda like reading an older book that talks about blackberry phones being the latest and greatest tech, when they probably should’ve just said phone, instead of specifying the brand.
For those that don’t know, you can buy a used Maserati for under 10k all day long. A nicer one probably wouldn’t cost more than a new base Camry.
They are comfortable, luxurious and fast. There has to be something seriously messed up with repairability or something. Why do these cars bleed value so badly?
Here’s a link to a Donut video where they explore a depreciated example of a quattroporte: https://youtu.be/pRWIwdvkvvc
I believe it’s a combination of unreliability, expensive service costs, and an experience that doesn’t live up to those maintence hassles and costs, as compared to something more exotic that would have the same costs and hassles, but be better to drive. Automotive journalists can probably do a better job explaining than I can, I’ve never driven one, or any of their competitors.
