The Maserati model occupies a bizarre spot. It’s not as prestigious as Ferrari, however their fashions are sometimes priced greater than the German choices. Whereas the automaker is upgrading its lineup with some new and electrified automobiles, it struggles to promote the present batch of fashions, which implies enormous reductions for luxurious patrons available in the market for one thing totally different.
The primary situation with Maserati is the fashions fall into two classes, you’ve got automobiles just like the GranTurismo and MC20 with unique appears to be like and an incredible soundtrack after which you’ve got your mass-market decisions just like the Grecale, Levante, and Ghibli which are both simply costlier variations of Alfa Romeos or fashions which are lengthy overdue for an replace.
Nonetheless, in case you are a automotive purchaser with cash to burn and demand on having an Italian experience, now is an effective alternative to attain a Maserati with tens of 1000’s of {dollars} off the sticker value. Here’s a sampling of a number of the steepest reductions I discovered on-line.
Maserati Grecale – $25,000 off MSRP
Once we reviewed the quick however very costly Grecale Trofeo, it was a neat automotive however it’s onerous to justify the value premium over the Alfa Stelvio. This explicit automotive is a four-cylinder mannequin with an MSRP of virtually $90,000. With the low cost it could be a good different to a base Macan.
Maserati Quattroporte Modena – $40,000 off MSRP
The Quattroporte is Maserati’s flagship sedan like an S-class or 7 sequence. I’d argue it beats each these automobiles within the styling division however with solely a turbo V6 underneath the hood and an inside that doesn’t precisely scream six-figure automotive, it could take a particular purchaser to understand this one even at it’s sale value.
Maserati GranTurismo Modena – $43,496 off MSRP
The GranTurismo is one among my all-time favourite automobiles. Nonetheless, I used to be by no means actually jazzed in regards to the facelifted model and eradicating the Ferrari-sourced V8 for a V6 actually diminished the character of the automotive. A strong low cost, however I believe most GT followers would slightly roll the cube on an older, out-of-warranty mannequin with a greater soundtrack.
Maserati Levante Trofeo – $46,604 off MSRP
The Levante was Maserati’s reply to the Cayenne, a high-performance mid-size SUV. Whereas they managed to imitate the Porsche pricing construction, Maserati couldn’t fairly match the mixture of pace and construct high quality on the similar value level.
Maserati Ghibli Modena This fall – $50,803 off MSRP
The Ghibli is the mid-size government sedan like an E-class or 5 sequence, and for somebody searching for strong lease, this could possibly be a tempting proposition. I’ve encountered Maserati leases up to now that supplied a superb payment-to-MSRP ratio.
Maserati MC20 Coupe – $85,895 off MSRP
Lastly an precise supercar with the Trident badge on the hood. If you’re an enormous spender who’s pissed off with the Ferrari waitlist, you’ll actually flip some heads with the MC20.
Like every offers posted on-line there positive to be some caveats, however on this case I’ll quote the nice Joe Walsh when he sang –
“My Maserati does 185
I misplaced my license, now I don’t drive”
