Why you should Never buy a Maserati Ghibli

[@lolkevandewitte1713]

Drive a Ghibli for five years now. It has been flawless. Wish I could have said that of the Audi’s (camshaft issues, timing belt tensioners , gear box etc…)I drove, would have saved me a lot of money….

[@letsthinkfirstpeople]

Had a 2015 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 for 4 years. Never had a problem. Enjoyed it.

[@luthier78]

me too in 2014 I bought a 2018 one, so far not 1 single thing apart regular maintenance. We can not complain, such long absence of issues in nowaday cars became a rarity.

[@serkantektas5135]

I want to buy a Maserati ghibli between 2014-2016... What should I pay attention to when buying? Is there much difference between diesel and gasoline? I want gasoline but I'm also considering diesel... What do you think about this? Thank you

[@AndThenTheresThat]

@@serkantektas5135 Make sure it doesn’t have a lot of miles on it. 2014-2016 was a long time ago and plenty of time to abuse a vehicle. Although a vehicle can be abused with barely any miles on it as well. If it had more than three owners I would avoid it, there’s a reason no one was holding onto it for long. People keep cars they enjoy for a while. Another thing, if you can get a hold of the service records see if anything major has broken and been fixed. This may sound odd, but hear me out, if nothing big has broken on it yet and it has over 100k miles, don’t buy it. Because it’s coming. That major repair. For the years you want, try to stay under maybe 75k miles. That way if it was taken care of well you’ll get a nice amount of driving out of it before you have to spend any big bucks on fixing anything. As far as diesel vs gas, I didn’t even know they had a diesel engine for the Ghibli. I had an A8L TDi and it was one of the best engines I’ve ever owned, so if a diesel is offered then you should get it.

First of all if you’re doing well financially you’d NEVER finance this car you’d lease it. Second, expensive cars come with expensive parts. Hence, why maintenance and repairs are so expensive. Third make sure the car has been properly maintained throughout its life. If you take care of your car then it’ll take care of you. It’s not a “Maserati isn’t reliable” issue, it’s a maintain your car issue.

[@kylemilford8758]

Lease is a lot more expensive than purchasing especially the older models like 2016. In my area you can outright buy them for 17k while lease is almost 1k a month

[@iperez9527]

Facts. I pay all the service that are recommended for my 2017 Ghibli. Just hit 70k and the next service is due at 75k and that will be just a bit over 2k Maserati recommends spark plugs at 75k so do the whole 75k service, that’s $2,100 (oil change, spark plugs, brake fluid, engine air filters, and A/C filter)

[@CameronDavison00]

@@iperez9527You’re paying that when you can do it DIY for $400 easy

[@cjking4511]

I strongly disagree. Just because a brand says their "luxury" does not make them luxury. Maintenance on a maserati is more than maintenance on my rolls. Maseratis are too needy. Maseratis are not expensive though so I disagree with your "expensive cars come with expensive parts" comment. You can buy a 3 year old Maserati Ghibli with 25K miles for 28K and lower in my area. That is not "expensive" imo.

Are you talking about aftermarket for Ferrari engines or... aftermarket for kia? Genuine question, im not really opposed to an 80$ filter if its a once a year oil change, which is whats recommended for full synthetic, which it would be...

[@R.London]

Unlike a lot of people that are going to flood the comments section to repeat what Doug Demuro said years ago, i actually own one of these, and I enjoy it. My only advice is to get a warranty in the event something does fail. Otherwise, drive it and enjoy it. The Ghibli gets a bad rap, but honestly, they are good cars when taken care of and maintained properly. Alot of people buy these cars used because they're cheap and they want that trident badge but then they can't afford to maintain them. Lack of maintenance leads to the car becoming a headache and constantly breaking. Then they blame it on the car and maserati. They are not cheap to run but nowhere near as bad as the media likes to portray them. I have a 15 SQ4 with over 63k miles, and it's running strong. I do have the Maserati extended warranty in my back pocket in the event that something does wrong. Good luck with yours.

[@upulsampath2763]

Yes ! It’s true! I live in Japan 🇯🇵 All Japanese love to Maserati! Not used Maserati coz can’t guarantee 😂

[@vancelawhorn]

Who is your warranty through?

[@R.London]

@vancelawhorn I have the Maserati extra10 warranty. It covers the drivetrain for unlimited mileage. You are able to purchase it every year up to 10 years. For example, if your car is a 2017, you can purchase the extra10 every year or in a lump sum of multiple years up to 2027. You can purchase it from any Maserati dealer. They do inspect the car and do a compression test to make the car is healthy before selling it to you.

[@cmdrpausanias2332]

I have a 2014 Ghibli which I bought in 2017, best car I have ever had and driven, and I have had a lot. Yes servicing is expensive but aside from servicing all I've had done in 7 years is a new battery, one rear light cluster and tyres when required. If you buy an expensive car have as much as you've paid for it in the bank as spare cash, don't spend everything you have buying a car!

[@InternetDude]

You’re paying a lot because they’re made by the same people that makes Ferrari. Maserati, do not hold any value

[@AndThenTheresThat]

I have been watching Ghibli videos all day because I have been trying to get an idea of the perception before I sell mine. I have a 2014 SQ4 which I have had since 2016 and have a little under 90k miles on the clock, and had barely over 20k at the time I bought it. Maybe I got lucky, really really lucky, because I have had had NONE of the issues I see nearly every video mentioning and complaining about. I’m not even gonna sell mine I don’t think. I feel like I got a unicorn. I saw someone say they can’t get their Bluetooth to connect to their phone, mine connects every time, multiple devices at once. The only two things I agree with, one of which is not a complaint, and that is the buttons are cheap but I don’t really mind, at the time I got it I had never watched any videos on it so I didn’t have any expectations either way. Second, which is a complaint, is it doesn’t immediately shoot forward when I mash the gas. It feels like it builds for a second and then takes off, unless I’m up to speed already like on the freeway or something. I can’t speak on the cost of parts because I haven’t had any breakdowns yet. I know it’s coming, but so far so good. Oil changes are expensive compared to other luxury cars like Bimmers and Benzes, but I would suggest not even considering buying an exotic car, no matter how inexpensive it is, if the cost of maintenance scares you. You don’t need to have it done at a certified dealer tho, it’s not that complicated. You can spend maybe 150 on the oil and filter and then have a garage that is familiar with high end cars do the labor for around 300. Instead of 500 to 600 at the dealership. And you don’t have to get oil changes every few thousand miles. I have let mine go like 8 or 9 thousand miles between oil changes.

[@Invaderz-ph6fs]

Yeah, honestly the only reason you need to get oil changes often is if you don't tol off your oil often. People buy a European car,and never take care of it and expect it to perform like a Japanese car, it's ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with your European car, it's just not a Japanese car, you actually have to take care of it. They aren't made to be bulletproof. And honestly why would you not do your own oil change lol, it's really not that bad.

Bro if you have all season tires on an all wheel drive car that's obviously not what you want to slide around turns; of course the friction is going to catch.

Here’s the deal. Maserati are great cars. Problem is they are the entry level super car. Its budget buy. So yes parts and oil changes cost more.

Technically it’s Chrysler crap they put in these, not Dodge. Personally, I would never own a Maserati…they are simply too unreliable and too expensive to maintain. That’s why the majority of these cars are leased. All but one model of Maserati’s lose between 50-67% of their value within the first 5 years. That is why you can pick one of these up so cheap. I’ve seen too many people wanting to look cool, rather then drive a reliable car with low maintenance costs. I’ll stick with my Lexus, but good luck to you and your wallet.
