Maserati QP : Price, Service & Technical

I am seriously thinking of the Q-port. Maserati for a replacement vehicle. Has a lot to appreciate and enjoy.

I would like more true life experience than opinions, but welcome all of course.

here are the questions:

1. Depreciation: not quite the same as a Ferrari I expect.

2. Service compared to similar designed Ferrari V8s

3. Any technical problems after its first release: Ferraris seems to have the common leather shrinkage, some 'other' stuff, both interior and mechanical.

What I am attempting to do is gather a sort of "buyer's guide" list.

Here are some starts so persons don't [flame] off the start:
