That's great news! I cant believe they knocked off $5,000 but I told you so! I'll take my reward as a nice dinner next time I'm up that way lol On a side note, I cant believe they steered you away from an early QP6 so strongly, did they happen to say why?
HAHAH you bet! regarding the QP6 2014-2015 models. they are one off as the newer QP's are way better in terms of what is being offered. There are QP6's in Vancouver for 60K CAD which is 70% of the original cost which is the lowest they have ever witnessed on a new model. One of the main reasons MAserati shut down production for a few months and came up with "newer" 2017 models for Ghiblis/QP's

Just a thought, some of these items to be repaired may be able to be staggered. In my opinion some of the prices quoted seem OTT, however there is no reason why an indie shop would not offer a guarantee on their work and from my experience with my cars a good independent shop will often source second hand parts, work out less expensive ways of repair, walk you through timed solutions, offer more honest advice and generally give you honest opinion. I would ask for recommended indies from club/ forum members in your area and work with them as I have only ever had poor dealer workshop experiences, Lies, exaggeration, poor service,overcharging,debatable quality of work.
A simple example,I had a Ferrari 355gts. It had an intermittent misfire, the dealer said it was a valve and that I should leave it with them to repair before I did more damage ,$4000 fix. My indie found it was some crap in the spark plug cavity which was shorting the spark every now and then, cost $70.00 to rectify, didn’t even need a new plug he diagnosed cleaned and rectified.
:thumbsup:While I understand what you're saying and pointing out. Vancouver is a whole new beast, The highest concentration of Supercars in one city than in any other city in North America. So much so that the Centralised Insurance ICBC has now a different rates for all super cars etc. This in return affects all aspects of repair and service. :frown2:
