Good to see a fellow Minnesotan. I have quattroporte sport gts with same engine and the amazing exhaust. There are frustrating moments with sticky buttons, window regulator failures, random CELs etc. But nothing beats the smiles and attention this car gives when driving. This is one car I will never sell and people who complain about them really need to drive one to understand how special they are.
@@Bob-cd5ppmy ZL1 just got totaled last week so I’m thinking about getting a GT no way it can cost more than my ZL1. I also only drive my cars about 5k miles a year.
I see why these are greatly depreciated. Basic use on these things is expensive for a car that’s mid overall. It’s clutch if you’re in your early 20s. You’d have similar maintenance on a 911.
On mine a coolant hose between the engine and the dashboard came loose on the highway and I had coolant all over the car. My GT was about 7 years old back then. It's a common issue on these including your facelift 1 model. I've seen it happening to another GT after only 2 years from new. The intake manifold had to be taken out. I also had squeaky rear suspension arms. They became less squeaky by driving it more. I also had a slippery aircon belt after 6 years. Some interior rattles coming from the dashboard and back and engine slow start issues disappeared by driving it a lot. This car definitely wants to be driven often. Never drive through deep puddles. There is a pressure release hole in your transmission and you don't want water in there. If you get errors on your dash, first try reconnecting the battery. The software is sometimes wrong. I often had this from parking on a hillclimb. I sold the car a few years ago. Biggest mistake of my life. Keep it!
My Indy mechanic aligned it to an Audi A1 spec (He used to be a Masi mechanic). Tires were $1000 for 4. Tires looked almost new after 12k miles when I sold it. Oil change was $120 and I provided the $60 oil filter.
@@sjb3460 Yes, agreed as long as you take care of them they will last you forever. This is my 2nd Maserati now. Before that I had a 2018 Quattroporte and not 1 issue with it.
@@sjb3460 Maserati has a bad rep because they made Chrysler literal junk with no Ferrari presence at all since 2014. Ghibli levante and all the other v6 Chrysler powered cars are complete ass!
I'm thinking about buying it, I went on a driving test the car is super fun it's comfortable it's powerfull an sound is just amazing, how much milage did you put on it in those two years, I'm scared of the realibity. if you could answer I'll really appreciate it. ty
Hey, I just bought a 2015 Maserati GT and got lied to about leaks. There is an oil leak from valve covers. Does that mean I'll likely need to do that valve cover gasket fix? If so, how did you learn how to do it yourself?
I am a mechanic so my prior knowledge helped me. If you’re mechanically inclined, you can definitely tackle it. Did mine slowly over a weekend. Left fuel lines in place so made it harder but doable. Mines now leaking from the oil level sensor which requires me to remove the oil pan which won’t be terrible but not fun lol
@@Car.Nation I've never done anything under the hood lol. But hopefully I can get a friend to help out. Just got quoted $1,500 for the fix. That's crazy to hear these things leak a lot. I heard nothing but near perfect reliability from most owners online lol.
@@ProfessorDrives yea i absolutely love mine, id say its just more little things that'll pop up but that's with any car, just a little more spendy to repair lol. 1500 isn't to bad, assuming its not from the dealer. If you have a buddy who can do some mechanical work, I'm sure if you buy him lunch and both knock it out, you should be able to get it. Just take pics as you disassemble it incase you forget where things go, and label bolts!
I drive mine Quattroporte around 5 years now and with all cost (car, insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas…) i‘m at ~60K now. Car itself was 14,4K. But yeah it is a Maserati so…
a beautiful car !.....I have a 2007 Quattroporte .......4.2lt 400 horse power with a Ferrari built engine its obviously a lot older than yours but i fooookin love it !...........get to 100mph and put your foot down and your off again !.......with the family in the back !!! 🤣
I pay 23 dollars a month progressive. Full coverage but at 25k capped on the vehicle and 100k on everything else ie someone else's vehicle etc. I paid 17k for the car and dumped another 5k into it in upgrades and maintenance
does anybody know a good shop near Philly for Maseratis? Really thinking to buy a car (for over a year now :) ) but all those dealership prices scare me off from buying it. I would do some maintenance myself but don't have space and time for it.
Maserati is definitely something I am aiming for in the next 2-3 years given that crypto and equities in general recover again. Living where I am and with the gas prices we have I would estimate pessimistically 20k for that car across the same time span you had yours. That would equate to about what I pay in taxes on a monthly basis so in terms of talking me into paying as much for my own joy in life as I do for the government...not that difficult xD but yeah, let's see. Thx for the review. Did you have any recurring technical issues? And did you buy it new or used and if used, how many miles/km did it have?
@@Car.Nation that's as much dollar you put in as you drive it. So for weekend drivers like me its going to be half that 3/4 year 120 miles a week so probably $4k-$5k a year. Not bad.
I have, probably going to have to go to the dealer for them to tell me why my camber can’t get into specs. My essentric bolts to adjust the camber will not get it into specs
@@Car.Nation I’d recommend finding an independent shop and let them know what you’re experiencing as far as tire wear goes. Have them dial in less camber and I’d bet your tire wear issues will be reduced.
WHY? are you getting such a horrific tire wearout ?? You only do summer uses? And youve done 20,000 miles SOMETHING is Seriously ! wrong with your cars alignment .. OR? you do drift comepetitions each and Every weekend. Mine has 17,000miles on it's Original PZeros and they are are only ~30/40% worn Again : Have you car competently aligned Or keep buying tires every year.

Thanks for the honest & detailed breakdown on all the expenses 🇮🇹👌🏻 I’m trying to talk myself into buying one in the near future
Do it!
RUN Away Shocks 8000$ brake job $6000 timing chain repair $10000. Parts are SUPER expensive . Get a 2014 Camero SS

I would recommend it!

Did you have any recurring technical issues? And did you buy it new or used and if used, how many miles/km did it have?
I bought it used. It’s a 2013 model with 40k miles. I have no recurring technical issues…hopefully I don’t🤣
Have I spent "too" much, not "to" much.
Chrysler parts?
The Perilli's are just bad tires. I switched over to Nitos and they have lasted close to 2 years,
What year is it
2013
well i guess that is to be expected@@Car.Nation
beautiful car@@Car.Nation
Did you buy it used? If you did….did you buy an extended warranty for it? And if i may….how much was it? Thanks in advance
I bought it 2.5yrs ago, used, no warranty, (I am the warranty🤣) 39k
How many miles do you put on this a year?
I’d say close to 10k😅

Check your front camber, that sort of tire wear is awful

@@bryanzurlo882 unfortunately I have. I’ve gotten as mush positive camber out if it as I could, still negative. Done it on my alignment rack at work😩
TOO! Too Much 🤦♂️

It’s got to much negative camber. Needs new control arms to correct it
