That is madness. We charge £495 Ghibli D / P basic, another £100 if its air filters and the Aux belt is a total nightmare of a job so without looking its about £200 parts and labour.
Spark plugs on a Ghibli P costs us about £150 from memory and half an hour fitting.
All prices plus VAT.
Its not just the filters and fluids, its the £50k of diagnostics plus licences, premises, heating, lighting, advertising....the list goes on.
All our cars get a complete brake strip down, drill the vent holes, repaint all the discs, grease and reassmbly so that's a couple of hours.
Diagnostic checks, greasing all the door, locks and hinges, lubing the seatbelts and window plus all the other little fixes that come with it.
A good hour of valeting and then on top of it all we get charged environmental disposal for all the old fluids.
You can't really base it agains non gen parts on your drive but do accept there are people who take the **** and those are the ones that don't give the cars the time and attention they should get.
I'd be utterly amazed if Maserati did half of that, obviously there's some badge tax when you buy a premium car but over double the price !, the ghibli diesel is going to up there with cheap jags and the germans at 10 years old, 10k
