In 2014, Maserati brought the Ghibli -name new life to give us a smaller, cheaper alternative to the Quattroporte. The new Ghibli sounded great and looked pretty good, but that is also about where the praise stopped, especially when you considered the basic model, cost almost $ 70,000. Adjustment for inflation would be more than $ 95,000 today. If there is one thing you can count on with a Maserati, however, it is enormous depreciation and the new Ghibli was absolutely no exception.
In fact, fast forward to today, and you can pick up one of those used Ghiblis for scary little money. Dangerously little money, even. I mean, here is A Ghibli from 2015 in Naperville, Illinois, mentioned for $ 9,650. It has almost 100,000 miles on it, but the title is reportedly clean, and it is still a Maserati with a 3.0-liter V6 with double turbo. When it was new, it was too expensive and non -competitive, but for less than $ 10,000? How bad could it be? Certainly no worse than the photos that the dealer has posted.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I know it would have problems. Consumer reports dosn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tn’tliability Score for the ghibli, presumably because who Subscribes to consumer reports is alreaDy too smart to spend their hard-earned money on a brand-new maserati, but tongen think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think a think. Suggest The Ghibli is probably a lot less reliable than a lexus gs f (a car you power be able to find for less than $ 50,000 if you are lucky). On the other hand, the $ 40,000 you would save when buying the Ghibli above the GS F would pay for a lot of repairs and replacement tires.
It’s less than $ 10,000
I want to be clear here, I don’t intend to buy this Ghibli. One day I would like to buy a car in a different state and drive home, but I will certainly not do that, at least until I return to the mainland, and if it happens, it will certainly not be Ghibli. But I mean, that is still a lot of car for less than $ 10,000. Or rather, it’s a lot of exhaust nut.
From the Subpar interior (and that is light) to the small rear seat, all the things that reviewers didn’t like about the Ghibli when it was new will still be. But you could certainly tolerate that in a Maserati of $ 10,000 much easier than you could when these things were new and (reportedly) sell for $ 70,000 or more, right? How bad can this decade old, heavily written off Maserati Ghibli be?
I mean, it’s not like we’re talking about a Maserati from the 80s. At least it is nominal a real car built by a real car maker. It could not be That It is expensive to stay on the road if you have done some work yourself, right? Heck, you may even be able to control it until it dies, never repair anything and get it out for at least two years. And how many people spend more than $ 10,000 on a lease that they return after two or three years? How many people buy cars that lose more than $ 10,000 in value after a few years?
It is clear that the only option here is that one of you buys and reports it. It is a bit risky, certainly, but is that not what you have disposable income for? And although everyone here assumes that it will be a disaster, wouldn’t it be great to be able to prove the world that the sub-$ 10,000 Maserati Ghibli was actually better to possess than everyone expected?
