I have specced up a new diesel Ghibli, and it comes to £58,500. If I do 10,000 miles per year, what might it be worth in 3 years time? It'll be quite a high spec car, in a sensible colour combination - nothing to put the next purchaser off.

By the way, I do have the finance figure back from Maserati, so I know what the guaranteed residual is. I'd just be interested in the gut feel of other Maser fans. Let's see who's guess is closest!

Haha, Unfair advantage!! :D

I thought the rule of thumb was 40%? I believe Maserati will try to hold up the residual a little, so I'm maybe being pessimistic at £25K?

I'd say £27.5k. Then, as Safrane says, the floors the limit! At least I hope it is as I'm looking to get one in 3 years. I bought my fully specced 335D at just over 3 years old. It had 1 owner, full BMW service history, 3 new run flats, and 65K miles. Cost new £43k, I paid £14.7k. By the same reckoning, an ex-lease Ghibli might be kicking around at £20k. Bargain!!

You'll be lucky Ian...I think Maserati will be keen for the floor NOT to be the limit....after all Beemers are mass market...the Ghibli won't be

Mass market seems to be what they are aiming for. It could be argued that the old reputation of unreliability might count against them initially when they come onto the second hand market, as people might not want to spend £25-30k on a car with a chequered past coming out of warranty. Who knows?

Niche...was the word Gary used I believe, BMW/Mercs are positively mass market in % and numbers.

Judging by various stories are BMW/Mercs all that bullet proof? You're forgetting to the vast majority of potential buyers, have no knowledge of the marque, pre QP/GT..........

I wouldn't say that, everyone who I talk to about my QP ask if it's reliable, I think the stigma will stick around for some time yet.

Unfortunately it is the pessimists that are closet. The residual value figure quoted is £20,750. So on this PCP I'd pay a £10k deposit, than 36 x 1k. So it would cost me £46k over the three years. Which I think is a lot for a car that's only £58k new, especially given how cheap money can be borrowed right now.

Of course, the car may well (and in fact should) be worth more than the residual figure, so there is some equity to be moved into the car I then move into. But even so, this doesn't seem as competitive as it needs to be to stop people buying, say, a BMW d535.

This was through Maserati finance. I've not yet checked what Oracle (or similar) offer.

BB was about on the money then. I thought Maserati would want to support the car (and brand) more than that TBH.
