Why does the Maserati GT depreciate so much?

[MacIsla]

Maserati GT does not hold its value well because Ferrari no longer supplies engines to Maserati, making it not worth purchasing. Below is some relevant information about Maserati: Introduction: Maserati is an Italian luxury car manufacturer, founded on December 1, 1914, in Bologna, with its current headquarters located in Modena. The brand's logo is a trident. In 1993, Fiat (Fiat S.p.A.) acquired Maserati, allowing the brand to continue. Maserati was once part of Ferrari and is now directly owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Levante: In terms of power, Maserati offers the Levante with three engine options: a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo, a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo gasoline engine, and a 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine. For transmission, the new car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and it also comes with a four-wheel-drive system.

As someone who frequently deals with used luxury cars, I believe the Maserati GT depreciates quickly for three main reasons. First, the new car pricing is inflated with a lot of markup, and you can lose a third of its value just after one year of driving. Additionally, it has too many minor issues—I've seen many owners complain about frequent electronic system failures and expensive repairs for problems like noisy air conditioning. Most importantly, the brand's positioning is awkward. Compared to solid performers like the Porsche 911, Maserati has lower recognition in the used car market, and buyers are afraid of continued depreciation after purchase. Plus, with Maserati offering significant discounts on new cars in recent years, the residual value of the entire lineup has been directly dragged down, making it truly difficult to retain value.

Having repaired cars for over a decade, the Maserati GT is a frequent visitor in my shop. Its mechanical structure is complex, and the parts are outrageously expensive—replacing brake pads can cost as much as a full maintenance service for a regular car. While the engine sound is pleasing, oil leakage issues tend to appear after 50,000 kilometers, and the repair costs alone can deter second-hand buyers. Add to that the car's exaggerated fuel consumption—easily exceeding 20L in city driving—and with current high fuel prices, resale values naturally take a hit. The most troublesome part is the electrical system; older models often have dashboard alarms going off randomly, and such hidden flaws make used car dealers hesitant to offer high prices.

I was initially drawn to it purely by its appearance, but after driving it for three years and considering a change, I realized the huge loss. The Maserati GT's major flaws are its subpar materials—the leather seats show signs of aging within two years, and the plastic parts on the dashboard easily degrade and crack. The space design is also impractical, with rear seats barely accommodating adults, making it far less functional than a Panamera in the same price range. Maintenance is another headache—basic servicing at the dealership costs over 8,000, while independent repair shops risk damaging its delicate components. Now, used car apps list similar-aged models at just 40% of the original price, while my friend's Porsche still fetches 60%. The gap is truly disheartening.
