Throughout my life I have done some incredible things, and once in the blue moon I tend to reward myself for the hard work that I have put forward for many years. Sometimes I dream really big and shoot for the stars when I reward myself, or, as my son said, “I'm doing this big time”! Unfortunately, this usually leads to remorse of buyers and tries to pay for luxury items that I am tired of just before the purchase.
Last year I bought a new car that would satisfy my desire to drive a car I had dreamed of for many years. Initially, I had a heart on Ferrari, but my wife put an ax to this thought, and I agree that this is a bit of the budget. Fortunately, most exotic and luxury automakers have other vehicles that are built with the same structure, with a more affordable price. For example, the Audi R8 Spider has the same engine as the Lamborghini Murciélago, where the Maserati uses the Ferrari engine in all of its cars. This is due to the fact that automakers actually own several lines of vehicles, and then label them with different icons to serve several markets.
Maserati GranTurismo was another of my dream cars, since I like the style and design of Italian cars. Fortunately, they offer many of the same features as Ferrari for a third of the price! Don't get me wrong I would love to ride the Ferrari 430, which I had dreamed of for so many years, however, comparing the price difference between them, the Maserati GranTurismo sells almost $ 300,000 less than their older brother of the 430s.
Last week, I finally saw a sign from above that made me ask about owning one of these cars. I noticed a newsletter saying that the luxury office opened less than 30 miles from my house. I immediately jumped to the company's website and started doing some research. Fortunately, I knew exactly how much of these vehicles would actually cost.
In my case, the exotic Maserati GranTurismo cost about $ 135,000 for my user application. Compare this to a Ferrari 430 worth 450,000 dollars, and the value will be a bright light of savings. I also realized that I can purchase a certified second-hand GranTurismo and have a longer warranty period than most owners who buy a new one.
I was able to quickly settle with a 2-year-old baby Maserati, since the price was now less than $ 80,000, which is absolutely working in my budget. Especially looking up from Ferrari worth $ 450,000
Now it's time to visit the new dealership!
Now that I had the opportunity to drive the GranTurismo, I immediately fell in love with the car. I will no longer say that people are crazy for buying cars with such a price. These cars are made in Italy, so the quality of each button and a sample of fabric are unmatched. After driving the GranTurismo, I was very impressed and had to take him home with me!
As a rule, luxury car manufacturers will not discuss the price of such cars, as demand is very high and it is almost impossible to buy a new or certified Ferrari.
Summary; Buy only what you really can afford, especially if it can cause problems on the domestic front ... Secondly, look for similar vehicles created by the automaker, which are certified used or used cars that have already suffered a blow from wear, but carry a full warranty on the remaining factory or offer a free coverage program that guarantees a car warranty for 3-5 years on all major mechanical issues. If you are going to buy a new vehicle, wait until the end of the year, as it is much easier to negotiate a deal on models of the previous year, as the dealer is much more inclined to offer savings and benefits to return the previous models from his lot, And last but not least important: try to find a new dealership that has just opened its doors, because they have great incentives to remove these old cars from their seats, to make room for new models.
Of course, always do your homework to find out which comparable cars are sold throughout the United States. By choosing a nearly 2-year-old car that had less than 10,000 miles, I ended up saving about $ 50,000 dollars by doing just a little research on Google about the Maserati line of exotic sports cars. Knowing the true value of the vehicle, before you commit any numbers, you will be in a much better position to buy a comparable car with huge discounts.
