New Spyshots Maserati Granturismo

[Michael]

The non-limited edition Ferraris seem to drop 10-20% with 5k miles on the clock, for example, a £220k Roma can be had for £180k. So hard to see why a 5k mile, 12 mth old GT Modena, wouldn't sell for £110k assuming a sticker price of £155k ish.

Having said all of that, we have yet to see what the hangover is now we are at the end of the 'free money party' - I'm no economist, but I reckon luxury goods are going to get cheaper.

A gander through the car price aggregator sites shows main dealers and specialists dropping prices by significant amounts, already.

I wonder if or when Maserati will sell the new trident and/or the new boot logo as a spare part . My GT drives well, they all look great, but I do think that the sharpened trident and script look better that the old ones. A much cheaper alternative to a new car.

The expensive coupe space has been in decline for quite a while so getting people to buy these things new after the first six months halo period will likely be tough. Good for second hand buyers!

What sites are these? Not heard of them before.

Maserati have quite rightly plugged at a gap they do well in. I wouldn’t spend £150k on a GT but I would spent £175k on an MC20

The market is definitely cooling. For me that means make sure the cars you own are keepers, so their value has less significance to you. That’s where I’m at (all things being equal) so not too worried about big price drops coming soon/ already here.

Let’s pray they sell well enough for there to be a real second hand market! Would make a lovely car at, say, 2 or 3 years / 20k miles, for £80k.

Agreed. I'd regularly do the value my car thing on WBAC. The 'value' spent some time gently creeping up, but in the last few weeks it's dropped by about £10k.

Hello Dicky,

Set your alert for XYZ car etc. It emails you once a day/week and when a car is reduced it shows previous price

I would say “so charge at home” for about the hundredth time, but I won’t because it’s getting ridiculous.

No idea what the difference is at home, but I was surprised at these charge costs if correct and truthful.

The answer is an extension cord that reaches your neighbor's house. For me, that's about a half mile...

It’s hugely cheaper (still) to power a car by electricity rather than petrol/diesel, as demonstrated in my thread about my E-Tron ownership experience. Just takes a bit of common sense, such as charging at home overnight (at maybe 25p per kWh these days) as opposed to at some overpriced public recharging point. Of course, this pre-supposes that like me, you can charge at home.

 

[stindig]

some companies provide the equivalent of fuel cards for charging at public chargers. The individual pays for no electricity and, unlike a fuel card, no tax as a benefit in kind. BUT if you charge at home, you cannot claim it back from the company - so it costs you as an individual. As a result, employees are driving from their home to an expensive charging point, plugging in, doing an hours work on their laptop, and then driving home again. The world has gone mad!

Sounds like heaven!

Sneak out and unplug the neighbours and then unplug early doors. Get maybe 6-7 hours of charge and the neighbour will think his motor is knackered and not charging. Win win

It really, really is. I am, by all appearances, an extrovert. But it sucks the life out of me...need a place to retreat. As well as steal energy.

Trust and believe, however, that my neighbors are not the sort who believe in electric cars. Or that the world is round and/or not the center of the Known Universe.

Sadly, that won't work as the cables lock into the car unless you allow them to be released via an app

Presumably you can lock the supply unit when not in use too?

Sounds deliciously hackable.
