More research shows that more than a handful are coming off a 3 year lease, price is $50k, but Naplton, adds a $2k package, which included service, loaner, $500 walk away if in 3 days, window tint ec etc. there is a beautiful blue example as I'm posting as my car is serviced

Interesting I was just reading about these a few days ago. One passed me on the highway, great looking car.
Gorgeous cars. They sure take a nose dive in value though.
A friend got a nearly new one for an incredible price.

I backed out at 1:30 after I couldn't stand the nonsense drivel any more. Why do people live in Florida if they can't stand the heat and humidity?
I love listening to him B&M. Cracks me up! I watch every one of this guy's videos.
The same reason people live in Massachusetts and then don't ski, snowboard, snowshoe, cross country ski, ice skate, snow mobile, or do anything and then piss and moan about the snow.
It was me and like two other people in the entire state that actually got excited for snow. Now I live in Utah and people are out doing snow dances hoping it dumps every day the entire winter

I think snow is wicked p!ssah.
The annual maintenance on these cars is brutally expensive. That's why people lease it and then run away from it at the end.

I agree! He's very entertaining haha!
This is what the educated consumer does.
They had the vehicle for the best 3 years of its life, and paid dearly for it.
Of course I have no idea what a Maserati lease costs, but it can't be cheap.
I hate leases, but that's just me.

An old man told me when he was in the military some things were so precious that you could trade an Italian girl chocolate candy for some action. One time he thought he was really ringing the bell until she started eating the candy before he was done
Interesting review but annoying.
The car if guy is saying 50% truth is a Chrysler chassis and parts bin with glorified Pentastar? It looks FCA designed interior out of a Jeep or Chrysler with fancier bits mixed with FCA junk.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the lease prices and the depreciation is definitely built into the costs. It was over $5k money up front plus about $500/month depending on trim for 36 months. So $23k to drive a car 36k miles, IIRC.
I don't need to look that rich. I'd rather have actual money in the bank/401K.

Current Ghibli leases are $965/mo for 36 months with $5999 due at signing. So essentially, $40,740 to drive a $80,000 car for 36 months. Maserati also offers prepaid maintenance plans, and I would wager that most people opt for at least the most basic plan and roll it in to the lease. That would cover them for oil changes and engine/cabin air filters (which is hopefully all you would really need to do in the first 36 months.) Otherwise, the out-of-pocket costs for 3 years of Maserati service would total $4,500 according to various Maserati dealer sites.
I actually toyed with the idea of buying an off-lease Ghibli a couple of years ago. I got over the urge when I saw the maintenance costs. Sure, it is once a year, but $1,500/yr in maintenance to drive a deeply depreciating, Italian car with a Ferrari-built engine just didn't seem financially responsible.
Maserati: all the maintenance costs of Ferrari with none of the appreciation of value.
