How do you sell a Maserati for $35,000?

You buy one for $85,000.

What about the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolgio? I’ve heard some good things about Alfa lately, and seems to be more reliable than the Maseratis. Could be a nice way to get into an Italian car.

Last year, I saw a thief about to steal a Maserati in a parking lot.

I was able to stop him cold in his tracks by telling how often and how much the repair bills would be.

Sadly though, he decided to continue his life of crime by getting a job in local government.

Drive a lightly used AMG C63. I just rode in a 2010 yesterday and absolutely checked all the boxes, four=door, great sound and handling, lots of torque, lots of torque, lots of torque. And IMO a small car per say, but a beautiful style.

Take a few minutes to Google the long-term reviews of recent Maseratis and Alfas in the major car magazines. It will only take you a minute to realize that they are complete and total pieces of crap.

They are beautiful. They sound great. They break immediately and with regularity.

Caveat emptor.

Never buy one Maserati. Buy two. You always need a chase/back-up car.

This pic. explains so much. I used to have a coworker that had a triple red LeBaron Convertible that was a POS but he LOVED. Permanently seized Turbo. Gutted cat because the OEM one turned into a melted brick. He used to say, "IT IS A MASERATI!!" ...all the time, "It's a Maserati!!" OK. haha. LeBaron Maserati. Got it.

I picked up a 2016 Audi RS7 last month. Awesome mix of performance, handling, and imho, looks.

I found another Maserati photo saved to my hard drive - beautiful car. Maybe the most.

Wow! That is a gorgeous rear end I’ll bet that era of Moserati cars cost a fortune now.
