I must say your willingness to be brutally honest about the cost of car ownership separates you from all the other car youtubers, who all seem to magically never lose a dime on any car. Keep it up!
My wife and I have a 2014 Granturismo Sport, daily driven, rain, sleet, snow. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. Larini valved exhaust, 65,000 miles. Bought from Maserati with an extended warranty, haven’t used it once, do all my own maintenance. I sold my C5 vette shortly after getting it because they are equally fast and my kids can come with us. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a mustang, but to each his own. I’ve had 25 sports cars. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar and others. I’ll always own a Granturismo and we’re watching the MC20 come down at the dealership, will also be bought with a warranty from Maserati. We’ll park them side by side. Just putting my 2 cents in as a 50 year old enthusiast.
Long time Maserati owner here….I’ve owned mine since 2007…a GranSport. My car has been meticulously maintained….oil changes, modifications…whatever is needed…and I’ve had zero problems. All the hate on these cars stems from people being cheap with maintenance. You can’t defer maintenance and expect the car to be perfect….I’m here to tell you my experience has been perfect…ready for this…I also have a 1989 and 1997 Bentley Turbo R…both bought used and are driven daily and maintained…they’re fabulous machines…again…maintain these cars, drive them and you might just be surprised….don’t base your judgment off of some kid who only keeps his sled for a year….how you treat your car is how you treat yourself….these cars are great…have fun with the Corvette.
I read a lot of these comments which influenced my decision to buy this car. If you have never had a SINGLE problem with your 20 year old cars. You won the lottery sir, that is just almost impossible. I met several other maserati owners, and not a single one is perfect like yours. Congratulations on that though if you're being serious. Just don't give people the thought that they not going to run into issues. That's not fair at all. I wish someone made this video for me before I bought mine.
@@ProfessorDrives people say this type of stuff about their Maserati that they’ve owned for 15 years and don’t realize how lucky they got with no problems. I do get that some people take REALLY good care of their cars but it’s still really lucky to not have any issues.
@@ProfessorDrives Donnie - even a broken clock is right twice a day. The Maserati Forums help - especially if you do preventative maintenance. No robot here.
Lmao, I also know someone who bought a Maserati GranTurismo and he also got rid of it within a year. All the praise he gave to it for months disappeared and he traded it for a C7 Z06 vette 🤣
I am sorry you went through that and had to learn a lesson the hard way. I watched a bunch of your videos and you seem to have a strong interest in your net worth, so hard to understand why you would put 100% of your net worth in a massively depreciating asset (most cars fit this)that also can have costly repairs. The simple math can only add up to reducing your net worth each month. I own 2015 GT Sport Convertible for 3 years now which I wish I waited 2 more years to buy because I didn't appreciate how much depreciating was to come before the car got close to the bottom of the curve. Having said that, important to consider the joy factor.
To each their own, though you could have handled the situation of your GranTurismo much better. I bought my 2016 GT from an actual Maserati dealership not some raggedy ass dealership.
As did I….Boardwalk Ferrari/Maserati…..also, people if, you can’t afford the dealership…find an independent technician to do the work. I’m sick of people hating on Maserati because they are too cheap to do the work…it actually says a lot about their character….
@@ChicagoItalian If people can not afford to buy a European luxury car new then they can not afford it used. Buying a 15K Maserati is going to very quickly end up being a 65K car by the time all of the service and repairs are brought up to date.
Had a 2018 granturismo for around a year(didn’t expect to have such a good year or else I’d still have it) and daily a Cali T now. Still miss the GT, if I had the space for it would’ve kept it
@ProfessorDrives Well, the GT350 is the better car. I haven't heard anything negative about Mustang V8 reliability. Only good things to be honest. But that also could be because most people wrap their mustangs around trees 😭
Unfortunate, owned my gran turismo for almost 12 years and never had the issues that you mentioned. No longer have it due to hurricane milton, 117k miles when it was totaled, other than that it was solid. Even after the flood everything still worked.
Commiserations on selling the Maserati… they are quite rare by the way. I have only ever seen 5 and that includes mine. Sorry, but you took it to the wrong shop! Most of those things are nothing or service items. If your car was pre2011 then the ticking noise was probably variators which would be an expensive pain. Basically you need to either do work yourself or find a good specialist. Too many bad mechanics with two brain cells nowadays. Anyway have fun with the Mustang, it does look nice.
There is a reason used foreign cars are so cheap. I've owned a lot of different cars and the 2 worst were a used VW and a used Jaguar. And my used BMW trans went out w/ 60k miles. It is an expensive gamble. People on YT and FB will bash American cars and say their cheap but owned a Camaro and Mustang, and they never gave me issues. And if they did it would have been cheaper to work on.
I was seriously considering buying a Maserati GT just for the sound... appreciate the feedback of ownership, I will be looking for a different weekend toy :) For what it's worth, a year out of college I put all I had into my real world dream car- a four year old C6 Corvette w. 15k miles. The interior leaked water (floorboards would be soaked inside if it rained), the INSIDE of the windshield would ice over and need to be scrapped, the bumper had paint that had spider web cracks. I put it up for sale after 18 months and 5k miles. I'm not saying that's everyone's experience, but it was mine.
Painful but also at the end of the day $16k probably won't impact your life at all beyond the numbers u see in your bank account. Be careful on this next one though!
@@ProfessorDrives not really. If you buy all parts from Eurospares or Scuderia parts, they are affordable. You probably didn't have much desire for the Mazi to begin with. Though I do understand your perspective, I don't think you will attract more viewers with the Mustang. Oh wells.
Dude you traded a maserati for a mustang. You were cheap on maintenance and had a bad carfax. Good luck with your ford. Its what you deserve. You were never a maserati type dude lol
^^^ the Shelby GT350 handles better, is way faster, way more fun to drive since it's a manual, and honestly gets way more attention at car shows surprisingly. I thought the Maserati would get more attention, but the shelby does oddly enough. The Maserati was great for looks and sound. Loved the car while I had it, but the Shelby is just better
@@ProfessorDrives 🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣. Okay bro. Your maserati was a bad color thats why. If you had got a white maserati with red interior and silver wheels then you would see the attention

Now tell us everything that’s wrong with the FORD you bought 😂
Yeah..... Can't escape the problems man
Ford is super reliable for a sports car. 10 times more than any maserati
@@thewiseguy390 GT350 are also problematic with their engines, oil consumption... I wish you best

Not a mustang guy, but that one is 10x the car your Maserati will ever be. Would feel like a 30 year gap in driving dynamics. But enjoy lol
You like the high reving engines! You’re making huge steps in content from when I started watching a year ago.

@@VanquishMediaDE excellent - I commend you for that…nicely done.
@@ChicagoItalian If people can not afford to buy a European luxury car new then they can not afford it used.
Buying a 15K Maserati is going to very quickly end up being a 65K car by the time all of the service and repairs are brought up to date.
@@VanquishMediaDE That’s exactly correct. I have 2 Bentley Turbo R’s and the same goes for that marque as well…completely agree with you.
I miss my 13 MC cabriolet. I am definitely buying another one.
The Maserati was beautiful but i can easily understand the trade. Enjoy the GT 350.
Had a 2018 granturismo for around a year(didn’t expect to have such a good year or else I’d still have it) and daily a Cali T now. Still miss the GT, if I had the space for it would’ve kept it

@@BicBappy-u9o The 5.0 in the GTs is reliable, but this is the 5.2. Not nearly as reliable
What happened to the C7 Z06?
My brother and I still have it, I can do a video on it soon.
Also, congrats! Glad you are happy with the GT350- it’s a lot of car.

I don't think you should actually do your plan of continuous trade ins. Stick with the 350 for a good few years before you throw down on the next one.
GT350 way better man they are not even in the same league good upgrade

get it back put a novetic supercharger on, you would blow up on yt i dont no any yters with it

Much love to Mazi. But you need a large fund set aside to take care of the car properly.
@@ProfessorDrives not really. If you buy all parts from Eurospares or Scuderia parts, they are affordable. You probably didn't have much desire for the Mazi to begin with. Though I do understand your perspective, I don't think you will attract more viewers with the Mustang. Oh wells.
Oh no! Windscreen wipers? Oh dear... don't get a car that you cannot service with a fishy history
I hope you’re a billionaire. Wasting money on these dumb cars is a complete waste. I’d rather burn my money, it would be more fun and a bigger flex.
So, now you know why these cars are so cheap. I sold my MC20 after it depreciated $180K, and will never buy another Maserati.
$180K?!?! That's just not acceptable AT ALL
tl;dw because it’s a Maserati
We all know why you sold it. 😉
Maserati is the equivalent of ford when it comes to reliability, it can leave you stranded and broke
My Mustang Ecoboost left me stranded twice over 74,000 miles of ownership, the Maserati 0 times, and now we'll see what happens with the GT350.
Though for the mustangs, take care of those and you won’t really have issues. I’ve heard the newer ones have had issues though
@ damn, hope you have a better experience with your car
I have a Ford too and I would trust my Maserati much more. My Ford is slow, unreliable, thirsty and the infotainment is none existent….
Dude you traded a maserati for a mustang. You were cheap on maintenance and had a bad carfax. Good luck with your ford. Its what you deserve. You were never a maserati type dude lol
