We can't very well be fooled by the mileage when you don't say what the mileage is.

Ha ha. Sorry!! 108,350.
I'll edit the post.

I wish you luck, but 108k miles is a tough sell.

Trade value is about $10k and private party is about $15k. Realistically, most dealers won’t want to touch a Maserati with 108k miles, and private buyers will see they can get one with half the miles for $20-22k.

Not trying to be a jerk, just keeping it real. I’ve had a couple Ferraris, my Maserati, and my wifes Bentley, all purchased preowned, and I wouldn’t even read a listing past 30k miles. In a buyers mind (and in mine) purchasing something that expensive to maintain with that many miles is a financial timebomb.

Everything is negotiable. I've seen cars with 90K selling for $20K. Besides, someone may want a car of this caliber on the cheap.

Over 100k worth of smiles logged is impressive. I logged about 20k on my first ghibli, sitting at 19k and counting on my second/current ghibli, and have put about 8k worth of big smiles on my GT MC. So I've logged about 47k smiles in 8 years of ownership.

Both cars average single digit mpg but the smiles go up as the mpg does down

Single digit MPG’s ?

I routinely get 23-24 mpg. Guess I drive like an old fart….

To each their own, drive it like you stole it or like miss Daisy, you do you. Yeah I average about 9mpg in the Ghibli SQ4, 10-11 on a good day. Sport mode on always. 90% city driving, zooming from stop sign to stop light so I can hear the exhaust "boom" when it shifts from 1st to 2nd. You have to feather the throttle just right, can't just slam it to the floor, and it's my favorite thing about this car, almost like a hidden easter egg to find.

I've gotten 24-25 in ICE mode/cruise control for a long highway trip so yeah the ghibli can be somewhat efficient if you want it to be.

Not to hijack the thread but when you say the exhaust "boom", are you referring to the snap that you get on upshifts in sport mode around 3500 rpms? I'm fairly new to the ghibli so I'm genuinely curious. Aside from the snap at 3500 rpms, I get the boom at redline during full throttle upshifts.

Yes I believe we are describing the same thing
