At 18,000 miles figure that the clutch needs to be replaced soon. Cost somewhere between $3,500 and $5,000 depending who does it and what needs to be replaced (i.e flywheel, pilot bearing etc.) This has to be done by someone that has the Maserati specific code reader so they can adjust the clutch after replacement. Some independents have these. While your current mechanic can probably handle routine maintenance you should try to line someone up that knows these cars as they have their own little quirks at times amd you will save a lot of money in the long run if the mechanic working on it has experience.

There have been many other threads on maintenance costs. I think $3K-$5K per year (fluids, tires, and clutch if driven 6K miles/year) is realistic as long as repairs aren't needed. Repairs will raise that figure accordingly.
