I bought a 2015 QP two months ago and have done 7000 miles in it since (my weekly commute is 1000 miles). Only issue to date was a blown lightbulb. Maserati wanted £210 just for the xenon bulb. I bought one in a local motor factors for £30 and fitted it myself for free. So far so good, you only live once so my recommendation is go ahead and buy one and if you don’t like it you can sell it in to the next guy who has also had it on his bucket list for a few years 👍
If you have the older F136 4.7L V8 with about 420hp I feel like it HAS that Italian character. While it still has ancient infotainment just having the now bottomed out depreciated car is a sweet deal for a proven motor! Also I’m finding out the new 3.0L twin turbo has dual port fuel and direct injection. I’m also a fan of ZF transmissions they use. I’m also researching about skyactive suspension alternatives. They really are nicer and more reliable cars these days. Starting to open my eyes a bit more
I have a 2014 Quattroporte S. bought it 1,5 years ago with 77000 km done. So far no issues, except a minor leak in the steering column. Love this car. There’s no better looking (and sounding!) sedan if you ask me!
Buying a used Maserati is like buying a used luxury boat. The cost of the vehicle is almost incidental, it's the maintenance that breaks the bank and there's no such thing as Maintenace free in the used luxury market. That said, I'm about to go look at a used Quattroporte. It's a love/hate relationship. LOL.
I’ve the 3.8 GTS. I used to drive it hard and had some issues whilst under warranty. Now since warranty ended and it’s 9 years old. I drive carefully and no problems at all.
If you're willing to do your own maintenance and do a little research on all the shared parts with Fiat-Chrysler it might be a doable proposition. Key thing would be to find a low-mileage example where someone's done the maintenance. With aspirational cars, usually by the time it gets cheap and to the third or fourth owner is where adherence to maintenance schedules starts to suffer.
Buy a high mileage one, park it in your driveway so the neighbours think you’ve made a success of your otherwise pitiful life. But whatever you do just don’t drive it 😅
Not a bad idea actually these things are pretty affordable with high mileage just keep it as a trophy on the driveway. But a lot of people want to pull up and flex at the valet of an olive garden. Sadly they can't do that unless they drive it
Just clocking a view for you brother! Could have just stopped at: find a mechanic, shop, dealership you trust to work on it, find out everyone in their family and their birthdays. Start sending bday and Christmas cards.
Thank you for the information but way off with your negative assumptions on used cars. Do your research, used cars are great and you’re buying the dip.
I bought a 2009 Maserati QP Executive GT since new n it now has 56k miles on it...i still have it, i still love it. I not poor n fixed EVERYTHING on my Maser QP. I dont think Maserati has anything particularly bad maintenance record or anything weird needing fix; everything needing fix hav been like any of my other cars...BMW, Porsche, even Honda, Toyota. The problem is Maser production is very small in comparison; Toyota makes millions of Camry but my Maserati QP production number is abt 20,000. There are just very few of us Maserati owners shouldering the cost of maintenance. Having said that, i changed out the engine cooling system, variator, suspension bushings, engine mounts, upgraded the stereo, no expense spared. I love my Maserati QP with its amazing design, sound, the way it drives. 💖👍
So a new Corolla is great def a top tier car I recommend in today's economy but many people hate the CVT in that.. who knows how that will perform with mileage. Other than that, seems great. I just did a buyer's guide for the 2013-2018 ES 350, surprisingly solid car, not too many crazy issues. One of the few used luxury cars I would recommend without a warranty, same with the 2013 and up Avalon. But glad the content was valuable my friend I do my best to cram as much info into these videos as I can.
@@Excalabur50 yup I’ve also noticed the cheaper Alfa brand drives better than the Maseratis not having a lot of dealers near by for service puts me off from this brand as well
Last year I was hit by a Maserati. Thankfully no air bags deployed except his. I was thinking cool, he probably has good insurance he's in a Masi. He only had $5k property insurance and probably just wanted to flex lol
Wow that’s crazy I’m just glad you and everyone else are ok. Really puts things into perspective though. This is why I make these videos because I know there are people with hurting wallets trying to flex and I want to give them better alternatives that can hopefully fit their budget
It's turned from foreign cars to basically every new modern turd on the street can't be trusted. Honda Ford Chevy even Toyotas are awful now. Nothing worth keeping beyond a warranty period we as consumers need to learn how to adapt and buy things the right way
@@MeynMotorGroupdang man brutal criticism, do you have "hidden gems" from each brand? That'd make a good video. Im a recent beleiver in the ford fusion hybrid, my neighbors been neglecting his and doing deliveries for 100k miles 4 years zero problems.
