MC20 question

[Green]

Why do you think there is 430 Maserati MC20s for sale on auto trader? Many seem very reasonably priced. Are they flipper cars? Is there a problem with the car? Maybe people just don’t like them? Curious if anyone has any insight.

Well, historically Maserati, as a car brand, depreciate MASSIVELY compared to other exotic car brands. The MC20 seems to be following in that vein

Curious, where are you seeing 430 for sale? I opened up autotrader.com and set my filter nationwide and it returns 105 results. Still a lot, mind you...

My bad I think I looked at the number on top. There are five pages for sale on auto trader.

Gotcha. It's an interesting question, though, and for comparison I did a similar search and there are 153 Lamborghini Huracans for sale in the same model year range (ie: 2022 and later). I guess now we just need to divide each number by the total produced of each vehicle, and then compare the percentages...

I have a little incite, my friend sells exotic vehicles. Told me they can’t even give mc20s away. One had to be sold at wholesale. Apparently they look great but the handling and brand reputation isn’t matching the price.

Wow that was kind of what I was guessing. Thanks for the incite. They are not bad looking. I think when they first came out they were selling for 50g over MSRP.

JayEmm did a review a few months back which didn't come out too positive.

With current depreciation prices, the MC20 is starting to get more interesting. I think at over $300k it doesn't make sense, but now that you can get them down around the $200k mark or less, it's garnering more of my attention. I've joined the MC20 FB owners group, and there don't seem to be any issues with them so far. The reviews are also getting much better now that reviewers are realizing it can be had for closer to $200k. I think a lot of them had a hard time making the case for them at over $300k.

Yeah, I think they are getting priced very competitively - 175K ish isn't out of the question. One of the most attractive cars out there right now and definitely supercar territory. The MC20, McLaren 570Gt and Artura are all interesting right now, and IMHO look better than the Ferrari and Lambo offerings at substantially higher prices.

I personally think that these will start selling like hotcakes if they drop to $150-$160k range, as they're now competing with people who would consider highly specced C8 Z06 and Porsche 911. From a lot of reviews, many things seem to indicate that the car is a good all-arounder, but doesn't have any defining exciting features to it. The exhaust note is also very disappointing for an exotic car and even to the extent that aftermarket exhaust don't really do much to fix it.

I see 3 on Autotrader this morning at $169K.

As a current Alfa owner. I wouldn't advise my worst enemy to buy a FCA product. But they are beautiful cars.

Wow, that bad eh? Do you have a 4C or something else?

I cross shopped the MC20 about 8 months ago and found it to be a bit lackluster in engine sound quality and interior accoutrements. At that point my local dealers were a bit firm on their pricing and wouldn’t haggle much. That doesn’t appear to be the case any longer as pricing has gotten a bit aggressive as of late…

I thought about getting a 4C but was set on getting an Elise/exige. Still haven't got one of those but it will happen eventually. I have a Guilia ti sport Q4 and a Stelvio ti sport Q4. And yes it's that bad. I hate the electronic glitches and quirks. I swore I'd never buy a new car again but I'm making an exception for the Emira. I prefer the analog experience like my Shelby GT350 and my Indian Scout Bobber.

I hear you about the analog experience. That's where I think the Emira shines.
