My turn to talk someone out of a Maserati!

...Actually, I love the newer Masers too, but have heard several horror stories on maintenance..like I have on all Maseratis

For a baby Ferrari, you'd think part-costs would be less than their bigger brother...but an article I was reading on the Coupe/Spyder generation basically said maintenance costs were the downfall of these. I think that's the case with any rare make. I'm sure having a Lancia or a Facel-Vega would be equally expensive on the maintenance end.
