- CarMax made an offer! And we go through the ownership costs of a 2014 Maserati Ghibli SQ4. If you are considering buying a used Maserati Ghibli, you should probably know how much a typical oil change costs. How about a full set of brake pads and rotors? Tires? Insurance? Well, this is the video for you. I will break down each of these and explain why they cost what they cost.
Many people see the insane depreciation that Maseratis have suffered and stop there. Just because a car that used to cost $80,000 is now only worth $30,000, does not mean the maintenance/ownership cost has also depreciated. The car still has $80,000 car parts. For example, a $35,000 SL65 sounds like a bargain, until you realize that the maintenance on a car that once cost almost $200,000 still has some issues that may cost well over $20,000 to fix.
We start with an oil change, which is done during your annual service, which should be done every 12 months or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. A painfully expensive oil change can break the bank if you aren’t prepared for these types of premium maintenance costs. Maserati dealership service is your best route if you want to keep the resale value high. But is it worth the tremendous markup?
How about a full set of new brakes? Expect to pay about 4 times as much as you would on a typical car from 2014, which is the price you pay for driving an Italian performance sedan with Ferrari derived components. If this sounds scary, we haven’t even started talking about repairs yet.
Tires? Although a fairly generic tire, with the Q4 models expect to go through them much faster due to the AWD system (or AWD burnouts if you’re a maniac). To offset all of these costs, I advise that a used Maserati Ghibli should be used as a weekend cruiser rather than a daily driver. Considering just how badly they have depreciated, it will be very unlikely that you will lose much money on this car by driving for a year.
At the end of the video, we visit CarMax to see what they will offer me for my Maserati Ghibli SQ4 with about 37,000 miles on it. Let me tell you, the appraisal offer will shock you, as it shocked me.

Thanks for making this informative video review 👍🏻
Having an accident tied to your vin# really does a number on it’s value, no matter how minor it is. I changed lanes into a BMW that had suddenly accelerated into my path. You could see it’s hood rise up from the acceleration. I had it all recorded on my Tesla’s built in Sentry Mode. I sent the rear and side camera recordings to my insurance company, but it is always the car who is changing lanes driver’s fault, no matter what. It cost me my deductible and my insurance went up and it will stay high for years to come. My spouse also had an accident that was deemed his fault. Our insurance had been really cheap and is now doubled! We shopped around and most want even more money.
Yea it really sucks especially if the car was a lease and you pay for the lower residual.
@@adamdrivesla8268 We own and we hope to keep it a long time. Used car values are crazy now, with no accidents, people are selling their used Teslas and then ordering a new one. New Jersey residents pay no sales tax on BEV’s and get up to $2,500 rebates.
Oh yea it’s an insane market now. A friend of mine just tried buying a slightly used 2020 Porsche which cost more than a new one simply because it was available that day.
Nice ride
Had the same issue when I went to sell my MK7 GTI… carmax and a few other used car dealerships offered me $17k for it when most GtIs with more miles than mine were selling for $23-$24k. Sucks because no body panels had to be replaced from the accident, just pulled out a dent in the rear hatch..
Yup, that’s why so many people don’t even report damage like that to their insurance. Just pay out of pocket to save the future headaches
CarMax probably devalues cars because some rain had got on them during the winter. They are the worst!
Haha, good way to know the cost of materials on your car at least
How much would you sell it for at this current time frame?
I sold it for the same price I paid, and it looks like they are still hovering around 25-28k for a mid-mileage SQ4.
CarMax is supposed to use autocheck and not carfax, they sold my last car(a 2016 Jaguar XF with 16k miles) with previous reported damage on it and didn’t disclose it. When I sold it back to them since I’m in the market for a Ghibli s q4 they told me when they gave me the offer they wouldn’t use carfax lol
Hahaha unbelievable. Not the best source to sell a car, but I’ve purchased a GTO from them in the past at a fair price. Either way, wasn’t planning on selling to a retailer. Hope you find a nice SQ4!
@@adamdrivesla8268 about to settle for a 2017 ghibli s at this point lmaooo
cant believe they offered you that much
I sold my 2009 toyota camry to Carfax for a profit.
CarMax sucks...
