Maserati Cars For Sale — The Best Soundtrack In The Business
Let me be honest about Maserati, because it deserves honesty.
This is a brand that makes some of the most beautiful-sounding cars on the planet. The GranTurismo’s V8 is a genuine bucket-list noise — a proper Italian howl that makes German V8s sound like they’re clearing their throat. The Quattroporte is a four-door with a Ferrari-derived engine and a trident badge. On paper, everything about Maserati is desirable.
And yet, the brand has a reputation problem. Reliability worries, expensive parts, brutal depreciation. People love the idea of a Maserati and then get scared off by the ownership reality.
Here’s the thing, though. Every single one of those weaknesses is exactly why you should buy one the striker way. Depreciation has already done the damage. Parts and servicing you can plan for. And the noise — the noise is permanent, and it’s worth it.
We’ve got two Maseratis on the lot, both under $3,000. Let me make the case.
What’s A Striker Car, Quick Version
For anyone new.
A striker car comes without a title and with the trackers removed. Sourced from the US, shipped to your port. No dealer, no finance, no state title transfer up front — so the price drops, usually 30 to 50%.
The car is normal. Real, driveable, inspectable. The only difference is the paperwork. No title, no tracker. For a lot of buyers that’s the entire appeal — privacy, control, and a serious saving.
Short version:
- No dealer markup — you pay real value
- No trackers — nobody’s watching
- No credit checks or interest — deposit, then cash on delivery
- We ship worldwide — to any port, ready to re-register in your name
Simple, and cheaper than any dealer.
Why Maserati Is A Striker-Car Sweet Spot
This is worth explaining properly, because Maserati is arguably the best possible brand for the striker model.
Maserati depreciates hard. That’s the core fact. A Quattroporte that cost $110,000 new is worth a fraction of that a decade later, because the market worries about reliability and running costs. The first owner ate the depreciation. The second owner usually still pays a lot for it.
The striker model takes it further. No title, no dealer, no finance — and you’re buying a Ferrari-engined Italian luxury sedan for the price of a used hatchback.
But here’s the real reason Maserati suits this model so well: the things people fear about Maserati — parts, servicing, reliability — are manageable. They’re not cheap, but they’re not catastrophic either, especially if you buy well and maintain properly. Meanwhile, the things that make a Maserati special — the engine, the sound, the badge, the interior — are permanent and don’t degrade.
You’re buying the good parts at a discount and budgeting for the bad parts. That’s the trade, and it’s a good one.
What We’ve Got (Maserati Cars For Sale)
Two cars, and they’re the two most important Maseratis: the four-door and the coupe.
The 2015 Maserati Quattroporte S Q4 is $2,500. The Quattroporte is Maserati’s flagship luxury sedan — the name literally means “four doors” in Italian. The S Q4 is the all-wheel-drive twin-turbo V6 version, with an engine derived from Ferrari’s engineering. It’s a big, imposing, genuinely luxurious saloon with a badge that turns heads.
If you want the pure Maserati experience, though, it’s the 2013 Maserati GranTurismo Sport. This is the one. The GranTurismo is a gorgeous front-engined V8 coupe with one of the greatest exhaust notes ever fitted to a road car. The Sport trim is the sharpest version. There’s a proper write-up on the product page worth reading.
The Quattroporte for practicality, the GranTurismo for drama. Both are Maserati at its most Maserati.
If you want to read up on the Quattroporte model line, Wikipedia has a thorough history worth a look.
What’s Good
The engine and the noise. This is the whole point of a Maserati. The GranTurismo’s V8 is a Ferrari-derived masterpiece, and the Quattroporte’s twin-turbo V6 is no slouch either.
The badge. A trident on the nose says something a BMW roundel can’t.
The interior. Leather, wood, Italian flair. These cars feel special inside.
The presence. A GranTurismo parked outside a hotel looks like it costs ten times what you paid.
What’s Not So Good
Reliability. Let’s be honest — Maseratis need looking after. They’re not Honda. Regular maintenance is essential, and things do go wrong.
Parts. Maserati is low-volume, so some components are slow and expensive to source.
Running costs. Fuel, servicing, tyres — all Maserati money, not economy money.
Depreciation on resale. Though honestly, if you buy at striker prices, there’s less left to lose.
The interior tech on both these cars is dated by modern standards. Fine, but not cutting-edge.
Still — at $2,500, you’d forgive a lot more than that.
The Honest Bit — Running Costs
I promised honesty, so here it is.
A Maserati costs Maserati money to run, and that doesn’t change because you bought it cheap. The engine is Ferrari-derived, and Ferrari-derived means specialist.
Servicing should be annual, done properly, by someone who knows the cars. Independents exist and are cheaper than main dealers, but this isn’t Honda servicing money.
Tyres are big and specialist on the GranTurismo especially.
Brakes — a full set is a serious number on a heavy performance car.
Fuel — the GranTurismo’s 4.7 V8 is thirsty. Gloriously so. The Quattroporte’s V6 is more reasonable but still not economical.
Parts — plan for occasional surprises. Budget a maintenance fund.
None of this should put you off. But budget for it. A cheap Maserati you can’t afford to run is a miserable experience. A cheap Maserati you’ve planned for is one of the great motoring experiences.
If You Want German Reliability Instead — Look At The Audis
If the Maserati running costs worry you, the Audi range is the sensible alternative — same luxury brief, German reliability, cheaper to keep on the road.
The 2021 Audi RS 7 is the direct rival to the Quattroporte — twin-turbo V8, 600 horsepower, and a big luxury performance sedan brief. It’s $5,000, more than the Maserati but far cheaper to run. And it’s faster.
The 2022 Audi RS 5 at $2,500 is the same money as the Quattroporte — twin-turbo V6, Quattro grip, and it’ll cost less to maintain.
If you want the luxury sedan without the drama, the 2019 Audi A4 2.0T Premium at $3,500 is the sensible pick, and the flagship 2014 Audi A8L 4.0 Turbo at $3,000 is the big V8 limousine rival to the Quattroporte.
Want an SUV? The 2019 Audi Q8 55 TFSI Premium Plus at $4,000 does everything with more reliability.
Maserati for soul, Audi for sanity. If you can afford both the car and the upkeep, the Maserati wins on character every time. If you want zero stress, take the Audi.
Other Cars Worth A Look
If you’re shopping Italian luxury, here are the natural cross-shops.
The 2023 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica at $12,000 is the other Italian option — a V10 supercar, and the ultimate expression of the same Italian drama.
The 2020 Bentley Continental GT at $8,500 is the British rival to the GranTurismo — hand-built luxury and a W12.
For German luxury performance, the 2022 BMW M850i Coupe at $5,000 is a V8 grand tourer, and the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 63 at $3,500 is the convertible rival.
For a V8 luxury sedan for less, the 2022 BMW M550i at $3,500 and the 2019 BMW M5 at $3,500 are both outstanding.
And for cheap dependable luxury, the 2020 Infiniti Q50 3.0t at $1,500 and the 2022 Kia Stinger GT1 at $3,500 are the value plays.

Final Word
Maserati is the most emotional brand on the site. Nothing here sounds like a GranTurismo, and nothing here carries a trident badge. It’s not the rational choice — the Audi is. But buying a car is rarely rational, and if you want drama, noise and Italian soul, a Maserati at striker prices is a genuinely special thing.
The GranTurismo Sport is the one to want. The Quattroporte is the sensible Maserati. Both are under three grand, and both will make you grin every time you start them.
Budget for the upkeep, buy with your eyes open, and it’s one of the great bargains on the site.
There are two here. Message us with the car and your port, and let’s get you sorted.
