The interior is really nice. Have you seen this color in real life? Those pictures don't do it justice.
Perhaps you'd still not like it after you see it in real-life, and that is perfectly fine ... but I'd say, give it a chance
until you see it in real-life. The color is translucent ... it actually changes color when the light strikes it ... it goes to a sort of
light pink cotton candy in the sun ... it's actually incredible. Every person who's seen my car is amazed at the color.
I agree...I have seen it in real life. It is truly an amazing color and presents much better when you actually see it, in person. (y)
 
They have sea foam green one at my dealership. That wasn't my cup of tea either. Colors that look dated in 5 years.

Maserati must have released some incentives on then MC. So many price drops within the past few days. New Cielo discounts up to $70k across the country. These cars have Not been moving. But with the new discounts things may change as many have been sitting on dealer lots for over a year. Many dealers will move them around to their sister dealerships and call it “new arrival” of a vehicle actually produced over 16 months ago.
Does anyone know how to determine Which month and year the car was actually produced?
The fluids have been sitting in these cars for over a year and should to be replaced prior to delivery, even for a car with delivery miles.

Why? Asking as I honestly can't fathom a reason for doing so.

No fluids need to be replaced ( with the sole exception of brake fluid after two years , or three years max , because it accumulates too much moisture whether the car is driven or not ..) Everything else can sit for years on end if the car is not driven, without any concern .

What dealership? I have a pending deal on my Porsche so I will be pulling the trigger for sure this coming week since the deal looks good. I searched online and could not find anything close to Sea Foam anywhere.

Don’t then manufactureres typically recommend an annual oil service even if a car has not been driven much?

Many manufacturers generally go way overboard with most maintenance recommendations, with service intervals exaggerated rather significantly. Not sure if it’s for the purpose to keep the products and service industries thriving , or they’re trying to fend off consumer complaints about problems with their cars by pointing to adhering to what they recommended , or a combination of the two , but practically all independent tests throughout decades have debunked almost all manufacturers and dealers recommendations . Of course it doesn’t hurt to replace anything as frequently as suggested, or even more so if you wish, but does it make much, if any, difference if you don‘t follow those recommendations religiously ? I contend it does not .

Quite surprised to find Maserati dealerships adding aftermarket “security, protection” crap to justify upwards of $2k to MSRP and then Not mentioning on their ads. I thought this was very reminiscent of Nissan/Toyota/Chevy dealerships, especially during Covid.
Seriously thought this type of gimmeckery was beneath a premium dealership such as Maserati, with slow selling products, especially the MC20.

Wonder why Maserati dealerships don’t advertise on this forum or participate in discussions.
Rennlist has a large presence of Porsche sales and service.
No cars advertised in the classifieds here either.

I’ve never had water in any of my brake systems in my dry climate. Test kits are inexpensive.

Same here ( California climate ) and yes, test kits are cheap, but there are many members on the Porsche forum from more humid climates which ended up with boiling brake fluid because of accumulated moisture .. and the last thing you want to do is take a chance on the track , or when you go at triple digit speeds and have to brake hard .
 
I made a purchase: 2023 with 144 miles for $245 ($338k sticker). It has the options I want and new wheels have been ordered, and I am considering the 7 Design House CF Spoiler, which matches the exterior CF. If anyone else is interested in the spoiler message and I will negotiate a discount for multiple orders - It is a lot less than the OEM at $5k. I should have the car next Tuesday and then off for PPF and ceramic coating.

Good to hear about the deals to be had. Great info for fellow enthusiasts.
Did you get them to CPO (with an additional year or two) it as well?
What is the PPF (full or partial) and ceramic costing where you live?
