just some thoughts
M! & twnqp
Yes, you guys were right if you were to import a new QP. Especially when manufacturer warranty in considerations. I was thinking about moving back to TW and did some research on import tax to bring a GS with me. I rather not buying a used one there simply due the number of available selections. Combined QP's and GS's, there are total 20 Masers imported each year from the authorized dealership. I did a quick search and found TW Ferrari/Maserati supports 3 year warranty. That's pretty impressive IMO.
Let's take an 05 GS, 05QP and 06 QP Sport GT and do some calculations (with 1:33 exchange rate):
'05 GS - purchase at $55k and total cost of $127k (TWD$4.2M)
'05 QP - purchase at $65k and total cost of $137k (TWD$4.5M)
'06 QP Sport GT - at $75k and total cost of $172k (TWD$5.7M)
twnqp - if that slightly used QP is still covered by TW Maserati manufacturer warranty, I would most likely go for it if the numbers are acceptable.
