Cost Of Owning A Maserati Ghibli (Used) 

Nothing like that cold start! 👌

Won’t you be… my neighbor? (Insert Mr Roger’s voice here)

Some people get pretty decent mileage out of them, I drive Sport/Manual so I’m not really one of them (7-10mpg, but it’s been as high as 15+ in that mode). That being said, they’re definitely thirsty either way (unless in ICE/Normal/Automatic) but that’s to be expected. If the gas prices are problematic for you it’s probably not the best consideration. That being said, I absolutely love the car. I’m going to do a year of ownership review soon (maybe next month?) and go over the entire costs for the year. Reliability for these cars can be hit or miss too, but so far mine’s been great. Hoping it remains to be.

Me too, I have a Lexus, have for 6 years, never had one problem but at 51 im thinking I need to play for a year or two with a maserati, but I'll always go back to the lexus!!

Thanks! Yup, that’s really all that matters, you’re absolutely right. I also try my best to review everything honestly. I’ll be doing a full year in review going over total costs, etc. in the next month or so.

@@CarsLifeYT ok, looking forward to it..

I love mine

I usually only drive it manual. In anything else it has a tendency to short-shift and it'll shift every time it gets in the 1.5-2k RPM range or so.

Yeah, not sure.. I drive mostly city miles if anything so it might be a mix of that and letting it rev high. On mostly highway I can average around 20 or so, but very very rarely will I get 25+. I think the only time I ever have has been when I drove in ICE mode.

Petrol or disel version?

Wow, really? That's seriously good mileage. Are you driving in Sport/Manual or Normal/Automatic? I get the best mileage when it's on Normal/Automatic or ICE (even then it's only like 22-25mpg), but I prefer not to drive in those modes.

A UK gallon is also slightly bigger.

3.0 V6 diesel is the most cost effective option and they still sound good

That’s a cool looking bike

Honestly, maintenance is not bad at all. Again, depends on what you get though - assuming all is good and the car isn’t a lemon you’ll be fine. Usually it’s no more than $600/year. 40k mile service was about $4k from what I remember, but that was the most expensive one I’ve had done for it.

57mpg?! Sounds like a dream haha. At the top-end on the highway I’ll occasionally get 24mpg, but that’s really about as high as it goes. I do a lot of city driving and my mpg is generally in the 10-12 range.

The diesel Ghibli will do 50mpg

The route in this video is what I drive daily to get to my gym. There’s usually some stop & go and 7 different lights on the short ~8 minute drive. I’ve driven it in automatic before and it’s usually the same at around 12mpg or so. On the highway this car does much better and I actually see it closer to 20-22mpg even in manual.

I get as much as 35 on the highway in my Quattroporte… my my, you have a lead foot. And even 16-22 in town, depending on various factors.

Yeah, that sounds about right. That’s what I get on the highway, I drive mostly city though.

@@CarsLifeYT the city cuts it from 21 to under 10?

@@AugustusMcMillan Unfortunately yeah, lots of stop & go around here. Whenever I drive it in the city there’s about 8-10 lights on the trip.

Probably too many miles at that point. I’d try to buy under 20k miles if possible.

True, always try to buy them at the bottom of that depreciation curve. Same goes for any exotic really.

In my opinion, yeah. But it’s a personal opinion and depends on if you have the finances for anything that might happen to the Maserati. The Kia is going to have better mileage but it’s going to lose on looks, sound, and speed.

@@CarsLifeYT I agreed. But not on the "speed" category(opinion).

@@animuxhm2509 That's fair, I'm mostly going based on horsepower. These 2017 Ghibli S Q4s have about 40 more compared to the 2022 Stinger. 2022 Ghiblis can have as much as 200+ more.

@@CarsLifeYT hmmm.. That's subjective du.🤔. I mean, the ghibli is much heavier. I believe it at around 6000+ while the stinger is at 4000+(gross weight). I'm no expert, but I had seen multiple videos between this 2 cars. Impressive that both are evenly match🤔. More HP and Torque does help the Ghibli. P.s Love the Ghibli, yet i'm afraid of its liability 🤣.

@@animuxhm2509 Yeah, Ghibli is slightly heavier. Think there’s about a 300lb difference in curb weight. Ultimately it’s going to depend on the driver in most race scenarios, I think. Hahaha, true! For what it’s worth, my Ghibli has gone up in value since I bought it. Not the case for everyone but that’s part of the gamble with exotics. I don’t put much mileage on it either which helps with the value.

So far so good in the 10 months I've owned it. No major maintenance. I got most of the issues I found at time of purchase taken care of by the dealer free of charge. Those definitely would be on the pricey side, though.

it's 800 for front, and 800 for breaks . Somewhere around there. I'll find out tomorrow. My parking break wouldn't disengage completely and didn't know until I got home and discs where GLOWING red. No noise, lag or anything to let me know. Indicator said break disengaged , so...

Just be nice to the dealership you can get a full brake job for under $2k

It’s mostly city with lots of stop & go and only about 10 minutes of driving at a time. Highway the mileage is pretty good, up to 24mpg.

Lol! Thankfully it’s more like 12-14 in the city now and highways is pretty good. Most my driving is city with lots of lights though.

It’s a chrysler 300 w a pentastar based v6. They had a ceo who wanted to have high sales volume. It is pretty but i would only consider a trofeo. I still drive a ferrari era maser for the v8 - the new stuff looks encouraging. Not a ghibli hater but it is not really an italian design (giorgio platform alfas are better cars from a driving perspective)

It varies depending on where you drive it, what gear, for how long, and the mode you drive in 🤷‍♂️

How're you liking the GT? I've really enjoyed the Ghibli in the year I've had it so far.

No thanks like mine

Yup, back then that was the price for a 2 year old Ghibli SQ4 in this color. The funny thing is I can still sell it for a profit where I’m located.

True, these older vids definitely had to be cut together better. Was still pretty new to making vids here. More recently got rid of the driving portions. Didn’t really have the best microphone at the time for recording in that environment either, was just using the iPhone one.

How can I not afford it, though? Cost is completely individual. What’s expensive to you, might not be expensive to me and vice versa. I’ll be paying off the car entirely in a few months and buying a weekend car shortly after. Wouldn’t be doing either if I, “couldn’t afford it”.

You need to work on your spelling dude. 😂

Jealous ignorant ass

You spell like you live in the hood
