Florida man spends his life savings on a Maserati Granturismo and asks 'what could possibly go wrong

After spending his life savings on a Maserati GranTurismo, this Florida man asked, ‘What could possibly go wrong?’ and quickly found out.

The great Sirius Black coined the phrase ‘What’s life without a little risk?”

But spending every dime you have on a Maserati GranTurismo takes this ethos further than you’d expect.

Still, this young man could be in for the time of his life after getting a once-$150,000 car for a fifth of its price

Maserati GranTurismo investment bites a young man in the backside

What people do with their money is up to them.

But putting it into a car can go one of two ways: you can find a ride for life that you love and cherish, or you can lose your money on the dreaded depreciation and be left with a car you don’t like.

In this case, YouTube personality Professor Drives spent every dime on a red Maserati GranTurismo and was optimistic about his brand-new sports car.

The famed sports car is one of the sleekest-looking vehicles that the brand has ever made, and with the power of a Ferrari V8 coursing through its veins, you can see the attraction.

“An unpopular opinion, this is more beautiful than a Lamborghini Huracán. I cannot think of a better-looking car. I am dead serious,” he said.

However, he’s already been hit with some woes.

Given that this car is now 10 years old, a number of issues have come to the surface.

And it’s a long list.

The catalytic converter, suspension, trans fluid, subwoofers, glovebox, odometer, air filters, and the infotainment system all have faults.

“Please enjoy witnessing my bankruptcy and complete life destruction,” he said.

It could still be a better investment than buying new EVs

There are very few cons to buying a car like this Maserati GranTurismo, though, aside from the fact that it’s quite expensive. But to get a Ferrari engine in a comfortable sports car, $30,000 doesn’t appear to be a horrific deal.

And when you compare that to EVs that match the Maserati’s sticker price of $150k, this man is actually saving himself from the wrath of depreciation.

For example, one man claimed to have lost six figures on a Porsche Taycan EV in just a few years, which is now worth less than the Maserati.

It’s a case of repairs over depreciation. New cars fall off in price like they’re going out of fashion, older cars are more costly to maintain and keep in peak physical condition.

In this case, though, he’s been hit harder than others.
