Seriously, people think there's some magic maintenance with cars once they reach a certain price point. Cars are cars.

ICE cars have the same parts in different areas or require different tool types but mechanically there is no super secret magic ingredient.

You can work on it if you study up on the particular car and apply the same knowledge and techniques as you would any normal car.

Thanks for your reply!

can you recommend a reputable eBay seller for GT parts?

Source your parts from reputable Ebay sellers and Formula Dynamics or Scuderia West and you shouldn't spend any more than a Porsche but you get to be in a GT instead.

Good evening everyone!

I am currently the owner of a Porsche Boxster 2003 and am thinking of upgrading to the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible (2014-2020). I was wondering what to expect in terms of reliability and maintenance costs. I drive approximately 10-12k miles a year so this car would definitely be used as a Daily Driver. If I were to get this car I would definitely get automatic transmission so I wouldn't have to deal with the cost of replacing the clutch (plus the roads in LA are not conducive to manual gear shifting).

I believe that my 03 Boxster is a lemon because it has majorly broken down countless times. I have replaced the transmission and engine along with many other parts over the past 6 years. I have had the car towed 5 times in the last 6 years... I would say that I have spent around 10k a year on repairs for the car which I think is uncommon and completely ridiculous.

How reliable would a GT (2014-2020) be as a daily driver? I'm thinking of getting one with between 10 and 40k miles on it Ferrari Engine Repair. How much should I expect to spend on maintenance every year and how much if something goes wrong with the engine (I know that these cars have Ferrari engines)?

Thanks in advance for your help

ive recently thought about buying one. all over e-bay i see these huge service bills (10k) and engine out service repairs with low miles (30-40k), so whats the deal? whay do these cars need to be disassembled so much for service? im speaking to be specific about the 355 because thats what i was looking at. its kind of scary as an investment in an automobile. i like to drive and it seems these cars cant be driven without a mechanic in a car behind it. can some one shed some light on my confusion.

My personal experience:
2014 GT just over 2 years (avg. close to 20k miles per year)
Oil changes every 6,250 mile using my speed perks points from local auto parts shop, oil about $50
Maserati oil filter from EBay $38
Front brakes changed 1 time $145
Rear brakes changed 1 time $85
Coolant reservoir changed as preventive maintenance $78
A/C belt $18
Serpentine belt $38
Maserati engine air filter $100
Differential oil change $34
all cost are DIY
Car is very easy to work on and has been an absolute joy

Hey timado404, I see it’s been a few years any big change in your post? I’m looking at buying a 2010 GT with 46,000 miles. Hoping that motor held up hahaha?

From my previous list of items, add the valve cover gaskets, and engine mounts. (Enzo's).
I did the trans. mount, brakes and rotors all around and about 2 more differential oil services. The usual tires and oil changes. I recently gave the car to my younger brother with about 168k miles on it and it was still running like a champ!
