The cheapest Maserati in the Netherlands costs less than an e-bike

An expensive Italian sports car? Not this Maserati Quattroporte event! You can buy a used car with a 400 hp V8 for less than an e-bike from Porsche.

And no, he is not in wrinkles. According to the seller, the engine runs fine. Whether this is also a good deal is another matter.

Maserati used a car cheaper than an e-bike

The Italian carmaker is known for its sports cars with brutal engine noise. With a 402 hp 4.2-liter V8, this used car is no exception. According to the Italians, the Maserati Quattroporte can run from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and the sports sedan only stops accelerating at 275 km/h.

But while most of the brand’s cars are very expensive, this Maserati Quattroporte sells for just the price. 8.450 euros. That is more than 94 percent below the new price of more than 153,000 euros. That money won’t even buy you this electric bike from Porsche (yes, it exists).

Second hand with lots of experience

How is that possible? Well, this used car dates back to 2005 and has driven over 440,000 km since then. That is per se quite an achievement, especially for an Italian sports car. These are not exactly cars that are known for their reliability.

By the way, it must be 440,000 expensive kilometers. The used Maserati Quattroporte is a great drinking boat. The average use of this used car is about 1 in 6. Although Maserati has only seen the highway, more than 73,000 liters of gasoline have gone through it so far.

Is the Maserati Quattroporte a good buy?

Although the seller claims the engine is in good working order, the MOT on the used Maserati Quattroporte has expired. So the question is whether the Italian will pass the inspection without a problem. If parts need to be replaced or repaired, this can get expensive quickly.

That’s the big warning we have to give to the exclusive sports cars that are now offered at tempting prices (also think of the cheapest Ferrari in the Netherlands): the purchase price may be low, but the maintenance costs are still not. Something to be aware of before plunking down nearly 8,500 euros for the cheapest Maserati Quattroporte in the Netherlands. Maybe take an e-bike to work.
