Even with the depreciation factor of these cars, when you break all the costs down, isn't it reasonable to maintain and enjoy your Maserati?
Not including gas, insurance, tires and brakes, which you would pay for on any type of high end vehicle, once your Maserati is paid for these cars seem reasonable to keep..
Please correct me if I missed anything.
Lets assume you are going to drive 10,000 - 12,000 miles per year. You will have to replace a clutch at every 18,000 miles (3,000) ($167.00 per month)and a F1 Pump at 24,000 miles (2,000) ($84.00 per month) and regular service at the dealer every 12,500 miles (1,500) ($125.00 per month) and an oil change every 6,000 miles ($400) ($33.00 per month).
$5,000 a year, give or take $500.
These cars do not have many electrical problems. They are very driveable compared to Ferrari and you do not see 4 on the road every day like a Porsche.... Maserati performance, styling and interior are very good.
Thats not to say these cars are built perfect, they do have their liveable quirks....
However, once you budget for them.... Doesn't $5,000 a year seems reasonable for an amazing vehicle?
Just wanted to throw this out there in case I am missing some other beautiful exotic car that offers a better value?
What do others think?
