Yes, I must admit, that is a concern. At least we have a main dealer minutes from the office.
Won't be far to walk then

6,000 miles is nothing, I've done that in the last 8 weeks!
Don't shoot the messenger Mike, it's exactly why I don't have a lease car, I do 14k a year before any "leisure" driving!!
What, like this?!
Seems a lot of money for not many miles.
Although I can't really say anything, if I worked out the pence per mile for using my Maser that is paid for, it would be pound per mile not pence, excluding fuel!!
What's going to happen to the second hand ghibli market? Surely they are unsellable with brand new ones at that price?
Did you get your Evoque sorted in the end? Are you enjoying it?
Thats the point. People can say this is a lot of money for a lease - which I disagree with. I bet there wont be much stock at this price.
If someone bought a stock Ghibli D for 48k they would lose WAY more than this over the 3 year period and it would be an utter ballache to sell at that time.
I don’t want to upset Ghibli owners so am not going to comment.
The Evoque....blown away. I expected some badly Range Rover executed trim over what was essentially a shopping cart but how wrong was I.
Ok everyone lays the boot in with the Girlie tag....then they sit in it and general remarks have been WOW.
Light grey leather over metallic black and full glass roof it certainly is a lovely place to be.
Negatives, none really, a bit of torque steer when you boot it.
Yes but the argument is not that it may be cheaper to lease than buy it's that the lease is not competitive when compared to offerings from other manufacturers. For example, an equivalent BMW 530d xdrive m Sport is about £375 a month with less deposit and 12k miles. If they want to shift units, the Ghibli needs to be similarly priced.
I agree. That did cross my mind - what else is out there in that bracket. I agree the BMW is probably much better in every way - but the Maserati name, styling and point of difference edges it in terms of value. I think a lot of people would go for it at that price.
When they first came out I was looking at them for 500/month and 10k in, and tempted.
How things change.
I agree that some will buy on the badge over a German equivalent, for sure. But it's still too much of difference for many buyers. I'm sure they know this so I suspect that there is a play not to shift huge volumes which is understandable when they want to balance brand value against sales. I suspect they know more about what they're doing than I do.....but don't tell anyone!
