I'm not saying most are not shite, I'm saying a depreciated Gran Turismo is worth a look. It's competitors are the Jag XK and the Aston, maybe throw in the M6 and the AMG E class... maybe.

3000GT is a dream car of mine, will never own one I’m sure.
Newer ones have been described to me as the cheap way to get a Ferrari engine, or half of one. But that sounds like all the maintenance expense and none of the fun or prestige. I really want to like the new ones, but just can’t get there. Too many other, better choices for the use case and price point. |

Does lexus make a V8 cab that's not the stupid expensive one? If I ever ditch the 997 i'll get it down to one compromise car but must be NA and must be a cab.

Like seriously when he said it's a chrysler the center display and whatnot is literally the same thing with little chrome caps and obviously changing the branding. I couldnt imagine paying equipped 5'er money for a basic FCA product just because it has a "ferrari" engine. |

non car guy answer seems like.
Most of the time ''maintenance cost'' means : - part availability - DIY friendly - Online support - Common issues annnddd then the money is more or less secondary. If it was, OP would ask about Camry, not maserati. This is the cost of maintenance for old enthusiast car. People want to know if they can ride the car , have issue, avoiding a towing, and get back on the road the weekend after without taking the engine apart. In example. A 335 E90 as a average cost maintenance. Most stuff on that car is easy to do, but the issues occurrence is very high. Support is very high, parts cost is mid-low. So , for OP, Maserati forums is the way to go. I get through this with Aston Martin and 911 996. Maintenance cost was acceptable for the type of car. Got a trex instead, faster than a 911 turbo, cost nothing to maintain, poor support, diy friendly. |

The Ghibli performance version is what you need to look at…the one with the Ferrari V8.
It’s moderately priced also. I would own one in a heartbeat I have heard reliability concerns but you’re getting it under warranty. |
