Maserati Ghibli value and depreciation
Known for heavy depreciation and cheap used buy-in.
Depreciation curve
We class the Maserati Ghibli as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 54% after three years and 37% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

Estimates for a new purchase at list price; retail basis, trade-in ≈ 12% under retail.
The Ghibli was Maserati's volume play in South Africa, an E-Class sized sedan offered with petrol V6s and, unusually, a diesel. It sold reasonably at launch but resale values collapsed, and used examples now trade at a fraction of list. That makes it one of the cheapest ways into an exotic badge locally.
