Sold 2019 Maserati Levante Trofeo - low miles under warranty

I hate to sound cliche but if I hadn't bought one of these a month ago I'd be all over this one!

Great vehicle with all the right options. Someone will be stoked!

 

Wow that was $172k? Dang

 

Positive seller reference!

Vehicle exactly as described and great communication throughout the entire process.

I made it back safely after flying to Reno Friday night, leaving Reno Saturday morning, and making it back to Dallas yesterday afternoon.
Yes, I drove it home. Saturday's route involved some back roads, turns, and elevation changes. Sunday, more or less straight / flat interstate, with a few detours, that I was glad I had an SUV for.

Looking forward to keeping this one for a while...

THIS is how the classified ads should work in our community - well done both of you!

(a great personal use car posted for members here and deal done. There have been a few over the years. If I had a need for a sporty SUV, this car was a great buy...almost makes me wish I lived in civilization and could own a vehicle like this right now...almost...)

(and gotta add..."holy depreciation batman". I know they don't/didn't sell anywhere near MSRP back in pre-covid days, but sheesh that's still a 50% fall from likely new price in 18k miles and under 4 years)

 

I just found this and I find it tempting as well but I know at my stage in life age and financially this isn't something I should be doing.
Also, I can't get past the MPG issue on highway driving. Other manufacturers like Corvette manage to do much better so what's up Ferrari/Maserati?

 

LOL

My first answer was going to be that if you have to worry about MPG, Ferrari/Maserati isn't for you..... < smiling when I say this >

Then, I went out to look, and from my mostly highway driving from Reno to Dallas this past weekend, I averaged 24mph , which while not the same as my Fiat 500, it was significantly more than I expected.

Here in town, its down to 16mph, admittedly, I have it in Corsa mode and enjoy stop light to stop light more than I should.

The smiles per miles average is much higher than MPG.....

They don't really do cylinder deactivation is part of it. Also these cars tend to have downforce and tires that have higher rolling resistance and grip.

 

Also, just to continue the conversation, I looked at the 2019 Corvette ZR1….. the equivalent, highest performance, Corvette, and this is what I found for fuel economy:

I drove ~25 miles on the freeway in I.C.E. mode and averaged over 18. If I had thought of doing it for the whole trip and not played boy racer for the first 5 miles I think it would have gone over 20.

YMMV - (see what I did there?)

 

Yeah I did but I doubt I could avoid the lead foot unless I had my wife drive and often she's worse than I am!
So did your insurance company have a conniption fit?

 

Not really, since I was coming out of a Range Rover Autobiography.
