Yeah… I mean come on! When the dealer offers for recovery to the specialist that should say it all really!

Missed the appointment you booked in for them then drove it to Mull and broke it. Heels well and truly dug in 😊

Hindsight!! Totally agree with you

So they bought something they know nothing about, couldn't afford in the first place, can't afford to maintain, didn't read the manual, drove it contrary to what they were told, put their ignorance on email and than expect the dealer to accommodate them! What a C's.

Good story. I think you did the right things ! However it was stacked against you as soon as the owner ignored the repair booking. Most people are not experienced or suited to run an exotic car like that. There is a high chance of problems it’s not going to be reliable.

Thank you! With hindsight, I would have acted differently and taken control, lessons learned!

I feel the cheaper price of used Maserati tricks people into not taking care of them as proper exotics

Once they missed the appointment and drove to Mull, I would have dug my heals in. Also when they bought it without getting it serviced or whatever, You should have said that would not be warranted!

So many lessons learned from this!!

The problem is big cars big problems, I have found out you can't be fair with some customers we are not car dealers, but some people don't appreciate you even if they get a good deal.

Big boys toys, big boys prizes. A saying I live by! When they work, amazing, when they don’t, ouchy! Sadly there is a lot of champagne lifestyle, lemonade wages out there and it’s our job to reason with it sometimes. 😞

Love Maserati but jeez that's expensive to fix .. I had a rare Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider which had a fan relay that regularly went faulty because of where it would hang down , it either got too hot in summertime or too wet in winter .. I put a waterproof bag over it and never had an issue ever again .. Loved that lil 🚀 .. Keep them standard , with not too many crazy mods to Up the bhp and they run lovely ..had mine for 8 years of total bliss

Surely o2 sensor just a cheap item of a Jeep. A GM sensor tracked down. Dunno.

But sooo pretty! 🤩 😂

Another tale of woe. Personally I’d have dug my heels in at the point they drove it up to Mull. That would have been the point of no return (pardon the pun) for me. Up until then you acted accordingly and did what you were contractually obliged to do so. However I do think you’re just too much of a gentleman to turn your back on someone. Rob you’re just too nice mate!😬

General question to anyone. I was thinking of getting a 2019 ghibli in petrol, I have enough to buy it outright and afford insurance and tax and whatnot. For now all I’ve heard is good things about the ghibli until this video, is the ghibli reliable and these guys just didn’t respect it or should I go for a Beamer and not risk it?

They shouldn’t have bought the Maserati in the first place & gone for the Audi instead. A person like myself who’s into Italian cars will know the pitfalls & would’ve not rushed into the purchase like they did let alone drive it all the way to bloody Scotland with the EML on. Crazy!! The Audi will most likely bite the in the ass later down the line too as they aren’t as reliable as everyone thinks. No doubt they’ll be back next year asking for another refund as that’s what these types do. I’d love that Maser but outta my budget. Best of luck mate.

The problem started when you did not follow your own pre sale procedures. Get the car serviced, checked and then pass it on to the customer. I suspect that you rushed through the deal because the customer was in a rush. I do not think it's a question of next time "dig your heals in", more like next time don't get rushed into a sale.

You make a fair point. However I had personally road tested it and it was fine, we had MOT’d it prior to listing and it was fine. So whilst I agree with what you’re saying, cars can have issues at any point, this unfortunately was in his ownership not ours. Saying this, you have a point and we did learn from it. 👍

Overheated? No modern car should overheat

It's a Maserati, it could detonate itself parked up with the battery disconnected.
