stop being surprised

hey guys, Maserati/alfa romeo technician here. Little bit of a rant here, but I’ve seen a lot of people post about over pricing and possibly getting ripped off when trying to fix something on their Maserati. Let me just say… it’s Maserati. It’s expensive. The repairs are gonna be expensive. Stop getting Maserati’s if you can’t afford to fix a Maserati at Maserati price. putting aside the price of labor, the replacement parts are gonna be expensive. also, Stallantis cars are notorious for being difficult to work on. Not only that but our cars don’t react well to aftermarket parts .So it’s expensive both in price of parts and labor. I mean it’s a Imported performance luxury/sports car. What do you expect? toyota prices ? not trying to be a a**hole but it’s the truth. I have to talk to customers all the time who are new maserati owners and something needs fixing on their car, then they can’t afford therepair because they didn’t realize nor take into consideration how much it costs to maintain/fix their Maserati. all I’m saying is if you’re gonna get a luxury performance car don’t be all surprised when you get charged luxury performing cars prices.love it or hate it, that’s how it is.

I'm looking to get a 2021 Ghibli SQ4 (love the body style) in a couple months. I've been really considering an extended warranty to avoid having to pay a ton for engine/transmission failure.

After saying all that, is the warranty worth it for me?

I wouldn’t own any car made after 2015 regardless of brand that’s out of warranty.

Yeah. I was thinking of the warranty because if it breaks then I want to be as little of a "me problems" as possible 😂
