Hi everyone, looked in on forum on and off for years. We don’t actually own a Maserati as yet. However, had a massive love affair with them for most of my life, as an 8 year old living in a town with a good healthy Italian community ……. And the cars to go with it!!! Also big fan of Alfas and we have owned a number of them with gear delight - 33 gold cloverleaf, 156 2.4jtds, 159 2.4jtds - loved them!! We have been trying to get into an Alfa again, however, dealerships in central Scotland are …. I’ll be polite here, pants! Still waiting for a call back from 4 years ago. We tried again to contact them and arrange test drive if Stelvio QV …. Three weeks ago, still waiting!
So ….. what’s this post about and why Maserati. Well to be honest, didn’t think we would be able to afford one and hubby only 99.9% sure (mechanic to trade, AA patrol) so tends to use his napper more than his heart ♀️. We’ve been going through all models to see what will best suit us. Personal ‘sensible’ models we’re currently looking at are Levante and Ghibli. Looked at Grecale, but I would have to have a Trofeo and would be just too expensive, for reasons noted below. So looking at a nearly new Modena or Modena S (Levante) and Modena for Ghibli. However, got a wee question for those having the patience to read this essay !! Having read up and checked out YouTube videos, at length, there doesn’t appear to be much difference between Modena or Trofeo ? Anyone able to advise of their experiences ?
Now finances …..We made a knee jerk decision to buy a new RS5 Vorsprung at the end of last year, car in Audi showroom and hubby fell in love, me???? Not so much. Now trying to see if we can get out of RS5, and limit financial damage as much as possible. May not be possible, which is totally understandable, although not going to be silly here and may have to start looking at our first Maserati in 12 months time. However, now that I’m that close to getting one (although has to be the right one) it’s eating away at my heart.
Well done if you’ve got this far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated from people who have the models discussed. I will keep reading forum, as I’ve always done, but now a fully registered member
