I’ve got a 2009 GT, owned it for 5years and the car has been SO much fun and VERY reliable. I changed front and rear pads for $275. I buy the factory oil filter for $50 and buy the full synthetic oil for $50, so oil change is super easy and only $100. Been an awesome car!
My 08 GT with 19k miles so far has been flawless! Engine light came on.. gas gap worn out so I bought a OEM for 70.00 and it hasn't come on since. New tires and alignment cost me $1,100. Oil change, OEM filter was 65.00 and labor 100.00. My right side gas, trunk buttons receded into the dash and my Indy Mechanic only charged me 100.00 to fix it! Brakes, belts and other fluids all look brand new!
As said in another comment, this guy is paying out the nose for his maintenance on this car. Things that can be replaced/fixed for less, and not as often. I don't own one, but have worked on similar foreign vehicles. There is always a better solution. Just saying...
I worked in automotive ind. a while back; we worked on all sorts including high end & wrc cars. This feathering you mention sounds to me more like a suspension component failure more than bad alignment (*as alignment will eat your tyres depending on caster or camber but it will be a consistent damage/wear and not feathering). Great video 👍
ruclips.net/video/WL4dlbGQzvs/видео.html this is a video that shows the alignment specs of both my Corvette and Maserati and how the specs could be affecting the tire wear. The Maserati has a very high negative toe.
Toe is Adjustable TRY? a 0 toe.. O toes gives quicker response as well. If driving in Any reasonable way Brakes will Last a Helluvalot longer than 14 K miles. Try resting your left foot somewhere Other than on the brake pedal ?? Rotors can be resurfaced and Pads can be be 1/3rd the Dealer price. 2nd year service can be Diy'd for 2 or 3 hundred $
Do the work yourself! Plenty of DIY videos and save tons! Another issue is, and I will never forget this mechanic telling me this, you don’t know if the dealer is “actually” doing the work. Sometimes they charge you and they don’t do what you think they are doing. Only way is to do it yourself
I own a 15 Maserati GTS. It’s great if you have a kid, my daughter loves her race car backseat. Family drives are sooo fun especially when you park next to a Lamborghini Ferrari 911 and everyone gives a thumbs up when my daughter pops her head out of the back! Priceless!!!!
I’m considering a 2008 model as my first sports car. I got a high end service shop that I know and I gotta say you’re wasting money going to the dealer if you’re off warranty. In any case, this has been very informative.
Once the car ran out of warranty I started doing the services myself. I agree. Local dealer wanted $600 for a simple oil change, I bought the OE filter and fluids and did it for $130
Worked at a Maserati Dealership. Our oil change was $850. We used the special penzoil with the Maserati logo on it and it came with a Ferrari oil filter.
Thats expensive, and maybe their labor is even higher by now. I saw the oil at my local parts store and the new Pennzoil bottle no longer showed the Ferrari logo.
Well with all that costly and thorough and regular and repeated maintenance CD, the Maserati Gran Turismo should remain in perfect running order Indefinitely, a car for the ages; your grandchildren can drive it to High School and show their friends how visionary and cool Grand Paps was. The grey kitty seems to have a high affection for the Grigio Granito. Yes I would like to see that oil change.
Damn wonder if Brembo do parts that will fit those brakes. $800 labour to change pads and rotors! That's crazy it's a 1 hour job if the guy stops for a coffee halfway through.
is not that expensive...cost me $600 a year. just change your own air filters, engine oil... Just make sure you take your car in for alignment every 3 months (Get Lifetime Alignment for $200).. By the way, dealers never change our your fluids or top it off... that's just a gimick
i agree that for a car buff that can do his own servicing including transmission, and brake jobs the used Maserati, jaguar, bentley's can be obtainable cars for average people however most should not buy these unless its a 3rd car and you can afford a 5000 dollar hit. That's why you see short ownerships on a lot of these cars, they can be real hot potatoes and when the music stops you could be left without a chair big time.
There is something really wrong with the suspension on this car. I have a 2013 GTS and I never have tire issues. Got the alignment at Firestone for 120.00. No tire issues ever. I use Khumo tires and I get over 30K miles on tires. I also bought rotors and pads for under 900,00. I don't know where you are buying parts but you are being hosed. Better get that suspension figured out unless you like buying tires. I change my own oil and filter and I sample my oil and send it to a lab (Blackstone Laboratories) so I always know what is happening with the engine. I did the same sampling for the rear end and the tranny. I do all of my service myself and it is not expensive. It isn't the car that is expensive its the ripoff dealers. Don't ever use them...ever.
i paid for my Granturismo 2018 around 2000$ extra and i don’t need to be worry about ANYTHING for 36 Month!!!!! BUMPER TO BUMPER - Original maintenance by Maserati 😁 Dents, Scratches, Oil, Tires, Breaks NOTHING PAY- Maserati Pay for everything 😄😎PERFECT SERVICE!!!
Hey man you should really consider doing the maintenance work yourself huge money saver I could've replaced both your front brakes and rotors for $1000 max most likely less than that.
Yeah, as long as I don't need a scan tool to mess with the electronic parking brake, I'll do them myself. I did end up changing the oil myself, saved over $400 and was not difficult. ruclips.net/video/d59Jtf696Vw/видео.html
I currently have a Mercedes AMG and it's expensive too. It was between that and the Maserati GT. So I'm looking for a vette but the prices have skyrocketed in the last year.
If done by the dealer, it is very expensive, even if it's something simple. This is one of the reasons why they depreciate so much. When they are bough new, the 4 year maintenance plan can be paid up front at a reduced rate.
@@kevyang1283 When I first had my oil change, was charged $380, same dealer later wanted almost $600. So what Im getting at is that one could also be saving even more due to inflation. When I made this video, the 2 and 4 year services added up to $5k, So essentially one would be getting the first and 3rd for free. Those I were about $1,500 each, so it seems like a good deal. I would read the fine print on the service deal to make sure you get all services listed on the maintenance guide.
What about a 3rd party extended warranty level 4 that covers everything except routine maintenance? I got a quote for 2800 for 3 years/50k miles on a 2008 granturismo
i believe someone had made a comment in one of my videos that their Maserati dealer did not accept the 3rd party warranties. I think the problem with 3rd party is, if the repair shop is expected to file the claim, it could be a hassle for them. If probably be best to check with your Maserati dealer if they deal with any 3rd party warranties. Whats the name of this warranty, who files the claim?
It’s the price of admission to drive Italian and German cars.... if you want reliability buy a Honda. It’s not too bad owning as long as you are a bit handy at turning a wrench. Otherwise things get pricey
Something's wrong with your alignment. I have a 2008 with less than 28.000 miles, and I still have on the original Tires and rotors. I don't just stomp on my brakes, I always pump my brakes. You're doing something wrong. I also have a 06 Land Rover I bought in 09 and have NOT put pads on it the last 12 years, and I drove this vehicle from Miami to Canada three times. I did change Tires twice.
I have more fun in the Granturismo, rides better, more comfortable, but its way more expensive to own, from insurance, fuel consumption, maintenance costs, major depreciation. That's why I daily drive the Corvette instead.
2,000 miles left on those tires??? Man, someone's taking you for a fucking ride 😅😅😅 Those things are brand new, lol 😆 I've got a feeling maintenance on that car is actually about HALF of what you're paying. Maybe get a proper alignment and use the correct air pressures. I've got some swamp land for sale if you want it, or maybe just give me your checkbook... 😂😂😂
Maserati dont make brakes like all car manufacturers they use a brake manufacturer to make them, so if you find out who makes the brakes you can buy from them rather than Maserati and their mark up price.
Listen my dude, $300 for an alignment, Someone upcharged you, an alignment on any car should be at least 100 bucks. They upcharged you BECAUSE it was a Maserati, I would cuss that person out
