Thanks

[@darkridervr4765]

That interior is just gorgeous

[@RonsRides]

Thank you Gianfranco!

[@djn8ure]

Big help with that information in deciding on a purchase

[@1kenpau1]

#facts could have done this shit myself.

[@irysyoung-fox6820]

You mentioned tire rotation. I was told that tire on the Maserati can’t be rotated. Is this true???🥴

[@AlphaDad]

When do the large ticket items kick in?

[@rcampbell4967]

You're on your 3rd year and presumably 25,000 plus miles. How are your brakes and how much? Run into power steering maintenance? Piston intake valve carbon build up?

[@aaronhussain3873]

Well it seems that running costs for Maseratis in the USA are a damn site cheaper than they are over here in Europe. In the U.K at least, Maserati dealers are always shared with Ferrari, so, that could potentially be a reason why the average annual service cost for a Quattroporte V6 S is around £780 (don't know about Ghiblis though... probably a bit less) Nonetheless, lucky Americans!

[@RonsRides]

Yeah Aaron looks like it, and as you said the big reason is the dealership. If they are stand alone Maserati/Alfa, its a different story than it being Maserati Ferrari. Which is kind of a bummer, because it you had Ferrari money, paying Ferrari labor hours wouldn't be a problem but thats not what you purchased...

[@neilcoleman4126]

True, as my local Maserati dealership shares with Ferrari but to be honest, my last Mercedes CLS 250d service (A Service|) cost me £675 so there's not a lot in it between the old Merc and new Ghibli really.

[@Mrbooker816]

Very helpful information !

[@RonsRides]

Glad to help!!!

[@Zoey20024]

What’s the shop name pls ? Thanks

[@Theriony451]

For that service at a Maserati/Alfa Romeo official service it's a very good price, for not saying a real bargain. If I live closely I definitely go there -:) I wish to have that pricing when I go with my Alfa to the Alfa Romeo dealership here. The same exact service(Inspection,Motor Oil and A/C filter) was last time 301,29 €! And in some other normal brands it's even higher cost for same service.

[@RonsRides]

Glad its a bargain there as well! I didnt even think about the diesel engines since we dont get them here in the states. But its a reasonable price for two years of service. The third year service will be the big one!

[@16nowhereman]

I can do the same work and parts for $90.00!

[@fredsmith601]

Thanks for the info Ron. Think I need to move me & my Ghibli to Daytona Beach. In line with Aaron Hussain comments below, In the UK the annual service cost for my Ghibli is around £1000.00 - this is the standard service costs ( no extras). I assume as Hussain mentions that it could be that we pay Ferrari Technician rates as the two marques are usually combined in the same dealership. Although i will add, for that price I do get free biscuits & copious amounts of good coffee personally served :-)

[@RonsRides]

Hahaha I mean the free biscuits and coffee may be worth it!!

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Thanks for the video. I find that different Mase dealership have different price doing the maintenance...I'm in Bay Area and those dealers are much more expensive then Daytona Beach. Pretty weird

[@RonsRides]

You're welcome and yeah I wish the prices were capped at one set price for all dealerships. Shouldnt have to pay more or less than another person depending on your dealership.

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Exactly! BTW dude I'm curious that does Ghibli has a bad steering wheel system...? I have the 2015 base model and always feel the steering is slightly bearing left. When I moved the steer to the center position the car slowly move to the right side. Did the alignment twice and still a bit not correct. Test drove my friend's 14 SQ4 and also has the same problem. Don't know if i'm just unlucky...

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Mine is a CPO , smh

[@JCSLookOut]

Thanks for the info and nice vid! When I was thinking about getting one of these two years ago, some of the hardest info to find was the Service costs. Dealers will always say it varies or that buying the service pack is the better deal. Questions 1) How many miles do you have on the car? 2) How do you think the interior has held up so far? I loved the Zegna package but was worried that the silk inserts would get stained or torn easily. My XF lease it up next year so I might hit you up for a car if you don't mind shipping to So-Cal and give a good deal Ron!

[@RonsRides]

No problem!! Im here to tell as much about the car as possible to help potential buyers make a decision. To answer your question, I have 18k miles on my car and the Zegna interior has held up very well! I think I have one little stain on the drivers side door but I do take care of it. The black piano wood scratches easy though. So thats the worst part if you get that trim.

[@JCSLookOut]

At first I was really thinking GranLusso, but now the more I look into it I'm really leaning towards the Sport. Really Dope seats on the sport and the fancier wheels and skyhook means the car will really have a different driving feel. Loved your videos on the GranSport Levante as well!

[@brooklynjamaica8495]

Great vid, thanks for the info!

[@RonsRides]

My pleasure!

[@tazmanean5020]

How much is an oil change on a granturismo?

[@aeaexplorer]

I’m thinking of getting a Ghibli, I really appreciate this videos, quick question, do you think that the Maserati is as bad as some say I some videos, I’m just a regular non expert driver , I see it as a jewel almost, do you recommend it ?

[@RonsRides]

I think people are so harsh on the car because of the brands history and they consider Maserati being a sell out and watered down from what it was before. My advice is, go see it for yourself, drive it, and if you love it and can afford it, who gives a damn about what others feel or say.

[@VKGZ13]

My uncle just bought a 2016 ghibli s q4 with 16k miles for 32k. It's a nice car, but theres better options I think. I'd rather buy an audi s6. The s6 is like 5k more but I think it's worth it. The performance is better imo. The ghibli is a very heavy car and that's what holds it back. Its quick, but my 2017 mustang gt performance pack beat it pretty easily during a roll race. It's just too heavy of a car. It is a nice looking car though, definitely gets attention. But for an all around performance sedan, I think the audi s6 is way better than the ghibli. Fyi on insurance costs, it's not as bad as you think. My uncle is paying $1100 for full coverage, but keep in mind his driving record is clean and has been driving for almost 20 years.

[@adrianjames1043]

On a scale from 1-10 how good is the sound system?

[@RonsRides]

The basic system is alright but the harman kardon sound is pretty dope. I love it. Wouldnt go back!

[@3d_Ink_Oficial]

Adrian James mine is the basic and is pretty crap, my old A4 had a better sound system them my Ghibli But since I just bought mine (2 months ago) I still wanna heard the sound of the exhaust while I’m driving But for the summer i have to do something about for sure

[@Mrbooker816]

Adrian James great question was wondering myself

[@DesindaWoodCarper]

...I may need to drive over to you guys Ron!!! I live in Winter Park, FL! Now that you're selling them, QUESTION: Is the Maserati Premium Prepaid Scheduled Maintenance pack worth it?

[@RonsRides]

Let me know if you come by! It all depends on how much you drive. I didnt do it for mine because I dont drive often. So I knew I wouldnt benefit from the package. But if you're going to put miles on the car and plan on keeping it for a while, its worth your time for sure!

[@atlantikav5902]

Wow so cheap in the USA, we get ripped off here in the UK, an oil service for my Ghibli was £780!...total rip off, that’s why I sold the car and bought a Tesla Model S. Maserati need to get the service costs sorted here in the UK and bring their service costs into line with BMW, Mercedes etc., I would consider a Quattroporte next, but not until the service costs are acceptable!

[@thebrowniesvlogs9325]

My brakes are squeaking at 21k miles, are they covered under the factory warranty?

[@RonsRides]

Unfortunately I dont think they are. I had to fight with Maserati over my brakes warping prematurely. I would check to see if you may need new pads but Masi usually labels that as 'wear and tear.'

[@fawadshamshad]

How much is the 25000 Mile service for a 15 quattroporte?

[@RonsRides]

I should be close to the same price depending on the dealership because its the same engine and same oil change/filter change service.

[@TimmuDammu]

I spend more then $350 just on my Lexus in a year. Also the nicer of the car you got. More of a bullseye the auto places try to take you. Jiffy Lube screwed me twice over the same thing. Thinking I'm going be foolish to go back to them. I must be rich to be taking advantage of.

[@lsjess4147]

Go to a Toyota dealer for maintenance on your lexus oil changes ect... it’s cheaper than the lexus dealers

[@Tareq30909]

Dont get me wrong by this question but why every video on youtube about the maserati ghibli is done by a black guy ?

[@RonsRides]

Lol plot twist, all of the videos are mine! lol but seriously. If you see 'rpo305' thats my old channel. so you could actually be watching me twice.

[@hauhau04]

why does it matter

[@Bellaschanel6942]

It doesn’t he’s a racist bitch

[@Bellaschanel6942]

Because we can actually afford the you racist bastard

[@subodhs64]

Hi. To be fair calling racist maybe not right. Perhaps just a observation.

[@gullylifestyle99]

Damn bmw oil change is 100 dollars with everything

[@dre4daysgaming582]

you got a email I can reach you by?

[@RonsRides]

I do! [e-mail]

[@richardbutton1261]

9 quarts of oil??????????????????

[@RonsRides]

Yup! Is that an odd amount?

[@richardbutton1261]

Other than exotics Ive never heard of a car engine holding so much oil. Isnt a Lambo like 7?

[@dukebmxrider]

For reference My 4.2L Maserati coupe requires 7.8l/8.25quarts

[@gullylifestyle99]

Bmw 9qts of oil

[@charlottekuang2569]

This is actually pretty cheap...

[@cameronjenkins5304]

$255 for an oil change? Endless Money pit

[@VKGZ13]

Change it yourself. Not that hard

[@ychang4959]

Mine is like $691 here in Atlanta.WTF?

[@RonsRides]

Daaaamn. In Orlando on my old Ghibli, I paid $560(USD) but thats because there are Ferrari techs working there. Do you know what you had done/replaced?

[@ychang4959]

Rons Rides I even avoid going to the Ferrari dealer because i know the labor is gonna be more expensive. I have no idea why they charged so much. Just normal oil change, filter, etc. Btw Rons, do you know what is really cover under basic 50,000/4 yrs warranty . I recently have some engine problem on my ghibli. The check engine light just popped up while driving on the road. I guess it’s probably the spark plug problem. My nearest dealership is like 70 miles away. I will just get it fixed locally if it was not covered by warranty. Thanks so much :)

[@RonsRides]

Yikes! Yeah they are charging a little much if you ask me! The 4 years is a bumper to bumper but I know that I had my spark plugs changed on my first Ghibli when I was having issues and it was under warranty. I would give your dealer a call and let them know the problem because that should be fixed free of charge.

[@blackwater3802]

4 years and $70K in depreciation from new, nothing goes down faster, who cares about maintenance? Ferrari is backing out of supplying engines also to Fiat-Chrysler in 2020. $700 in service, $70,000 in depreciation, you do the math, but your not going to make it up with cheap tires.
