Maserati Ghibli used buying – how detailed is a pre purchase inspection?
Nicolettenaseby

I'm seriously considering a 2016 Maserati Ghibli S from a dealer in Sharjah, but the price is almost too good and I've read way too many stories about timing chain rattles and the ZF 8HP acting up on these cars. Before I commit, I want to get a Maserati Pre Purchase Inspection Dubai done by someone who actually knows the Ferrari derived V6 and the specific software to read the transmission adaptations. My worry is that a generic mechanic might miss things like a weak high pressure fuel pump or oil leaks from the front timing cover that are common on these. Has anyone here had a Ghibli or Levante inspected by an independent service, and did they catch anything that saved you from a big repair bill? I'm willing to pay for a thorough check but I need to know what questions to ask and what to look for in the report. Appreciate any advice.
