With all the talking back and forth, the car will be stronger than him, once you drive it you will buy it because nothing is better than driving a Maserati...
these cars will make you feel special and uniqe like no other car will.

my money's on Tiki driving a Maser home this weekend. There is NO way a 24 yr old is going to not drive away with it if it's within his means and the car is in good shape.

Agree with Vicenzo, that car is already sold!

 

[jamesaronson]

I think he bought it too. That's three of us that agree that it is hard to turn down the car. Why else would we have it? Anyone out there think he will not buy the car? This could an interesting study on the mind of a 24 year old consumer.

if he is like me then the answer would be NO! i have been where he is at and i'm only 24, if he is thinking about the long term then he will choose something else. 3 months ago i was looking at a coupe but i walked off, i have bigger things to square away before i can really enjoy myself. Great advice guys i think i made a right choice by joining this forum.......TWO THUMBS UP TO THIS FORUM

Again... the kid has it going on.

To be making that income at his age - he is doing well.

My point - and probably the point of most of guys here.

Just take it slow - and it will come to you even better later.

And I'm sure at least of handful of the guys here made some mistakes when they were younger.

When I bought my current home about 7 years ago... I found I could afford the home - but the new expense took me by surprise.

I went from a condo to a home.

Who knew... you have to furnish the extra space!

You now have a yard have to upkeep!

Hi just wanted to say that i joined this forum because i was interested in this very same coupe, and just wanted to see if you drove it and bought it yet!.

Such a coincidence, i happen to be 24 also, but I am turning 25 soon. Doing decently in life, living alone in NYC, mortgaging a house, and have spare money around. Let me know if you get this, or if not, what kind of problems it has! thanks

Ok no offense to anyone, but all these 24 year-olds driving coupes might mean it's time for "older" guys like me to move on from the spyder/coupe/GS to something else... I'm worried we're going to see these cars in the hands of of the supra/skyline type of crowd sooner or later (no offense again

Though with maserati I feel I'm stuck in no-man's land...

What's the minimum age for driving a Quattroporte?

the car presented looks neat but the color combo is pretty damn boring, and I'm not 24! get something a bit more alive

Enrico...

Players will be players.

You need a few of the young kids driving around in the Mas club.

The VAST majority of the wanna be's will still be driving around in the new Saturn or Pontiac convertibles (which look VERY good I might ad.)

If the kids here can pony up the money for a Mas - all the better for them.

I don't think so, Enrico. As I mentioned before, buying those car is the easiest part, but maintenance is gonna cost big bucks. So I don't think we're gonna see lots of Maseratis with the Supra crowd. I believe the younger crowd buying italian cars are real enthusiast who appreciate the brands, know the history and etc.. Like us.

And I agree with you, altough a beautiful color combo, it's pretty boring for a 24 year-old.

i've been into luxury cars for a while, bought a used benz c280 2006 model last year, and a new bmw x3 2007 last year as well. now i am looking for something else, and maserati seems to be answering that calling.
