That one you linked to just had a $4500 service. Consider that a glimpse into the future. You might not need another of that sort of service for another 2-3 years, but it will always be lurking on the horizon.

Tavarish, I appreciate that your article discusses how to reasonably afford one of these types of cars. They will never really be “stupid cheap,” and for explaining that you have to plan responsibly to own one, I applaud you. I have always wanted a blue Gran Cabrio. It is my dream car. The prices are now down to the…

As much as I hate to see the words “Italian” and “reliable” anywhere near each other without the obligatory “not” or “lolz”, in this case you’re absolutely right. I know people that have owned this car (and the mechanically identical Quattroporte) and they’re shockingly reliable, easy to maintain luxury cars. The…

C’mon people - we are CAR GUYS, right? Why are we jumping to conclusions? So roughly $14000 a year? Based on what, exactly? If you do the work yourself the kit to change all the fluids, belts and filters is less than $600. The ZF6HP26 transmission has a roughly 80k mile fluid change interval. So if you do it yourself…

Buy it over here and ship it back.

Catastrophically, just like everything else expensive that isn’t a Ferrari or Porsche 911. And really, even Ferraris have catastrophic depreciation, they just don't fall to the level of mere mortals. $200K>$125K is still a huge chunk of change in a few years.

Yes, but it doesn’t have a Ferrari V8 now, does it?

My god that deprecation! So if this thing is only 7 years old with 56k on the odo for about 45, how do other and newer Maserati’s hold up value wise?

I’ve decided I no like black cars.

In 2023, the last of the non turbo’d 911s will be just hitting that $40-$50k mark, if history is any guide. I reckon those cars will be sought after at some point as nostalgia kicks in for the “simpler times.” Could be just the right time to buy one, actually. I'll have my eye out for a Targa :)

I’d feel much safer buying this XKR for 10k less. And it has 20k less miles.

Count me in on the 8-year saving plan! Okay, so which exotic car will be the bargain of the century in late 2023?

Yeah, these things are a guaranteed head-turner. It sounds good when hustling or just puttering around and does a lovely job of eating up highways, but you get this because you feel damned good about yourself and want everyone to know it.

One of the best looking coupes (and ‘verts) out there this side of Aston.

Don’t see a twisty/spinny lumbar knob. No Deal.

That being said, I love Tavarish’s “Get this for the price of that” pieces. Depreciation is an amazing thing.

Holy crap! How many miles does that have on it? That is cheap!

Your right and its kind sad the depreciation on these things.

Ask Doug.

What lightly-used SUV’s does CarMax sell for $50k?
