So at c20k miles PA it's about an extra £2k per year on fuel if it does 25mpg compared to a tedium diesel at c50mpg... or roughly the cost of two Starbucks per day.
If at this point, a car well known to the forum with a brilliant spec, painstakingly cared for, serviced by Av engg. for last two years and complete service history with all bills and work documented, does not find a buyer in Maserati's most ardent fan base, the dead market would be proven beyond doubt!Surely this is such good value, and deprecation free, that spending a bit more on fuel hardly matters. The overall ownership costs over a year or two could still add up favourably, all with the bonus of being back in a real car with a proper engine and soundtrack to match. Come on you Maser-free chaps, step up to the plate!

Keep it under the kitchen tablemight be in better shape than my own QP, so it is tempting. Adding maserati number 4 would be a tough sell at the kitchen table.
I like those big jags too and they do shift, so it made sense.Not unlikely coincidental that all this Brexit stuff started around the time that the **** starting falling out of many areas of the car market.
This would have sold easy 3-4 years ago. Times have changed.
It was part of the reason I sold my QP as felt they were susceptible to falling further. Also fancied an X351 XJ instead as saw they were criminaly cheap.. Cost me £2k to change out of a 2007/57 QP Exec GT with 4.2 V8 with 395 horses into a 2010 XJL SuperSport with 5.0 SC V8 and 510 horses. Glad I did I think.
I think the XJL SS has cost me much less to run in the same time if I had kept the QP.
