Probably tried to sell it for 40k at first, then 30, with 0 interest, then reality hit
No different than people "souping up / restoring a car" for 100k, only to sell it for 25-40k

Yes Maserati is a shadow of its former self. They basically killed the brand when they forced it away from Ferrari. It is and always should have been the gentlemen’s Ferrari. It’s now basically a zombie brand that doesn’t have a distinctive identify. So sad considering the older ones were all designed by and built by Ferrari for both chassis and engine.
Hell they even shared the same sticky button issues that plagued Ferraris.
Now look at you!!!! Which man would want you now you whore !!!!! Get outta my sight !

Is it because they way over priced it like crazy with a V6? Damn a sl43 is a 4 cylinder   I'm surprised the 8 series and LC, cgt is holding their values

LC's are holding their values and i would even say overvalued. Cant find a decent used one for under 80k in vancouver even if they are 2018.

I found an M4 motor on "Black Friday sale" lol, sold by a 3rd party vendor not even the stealership: $25k CAD, not including install labor. What would that labor be at BMW? Like $10k? At the end of the day, you're fucked nearly just as hard.

The guy should've skipped the dealership and just rebuilt his existing pack. Maybe it was just a bad module:

When I worked for Dodge, the price for a 6.2 Hellcat engine was 35k for a short block, before taxes and install. This was last year. A brand new 5.7 hemi would cost around 22k.

Yeah you could probably find an independent shop and a rebuilt motor for a lot cheaper than that. I don't know anyone who thinks of the dealership when it comes to buying and installing a brand new motor unless getting bent over dry is something you're into.

I've never heard of any engine rebuild being done for less than 4k all in. And those were figures from quite a few years ago for 4-bangers with mixed of used/new parts.
For anything German with 6+ cylinders or using all new parts, prepare Vaseline. My friend did a BMW e92 M3 using all new parts and both top and bottom. I believe he said something like 21k after everything was said and done. And this is for engine rebuild. For a full new engine, the quote was 30k+

Every engine out service for Ferrari's (JUST SERVICE, not repairing anything) is like 20-30k.

So with EV you're spending BMW M3 engine prices to fix your Hyundai battery, sounds great.

It's just the examples being given are all high end motors lol. Yeah a Hellcat or M3 is probably going to be a wash if you have to replace the engine with a brand spanking new one compared to an EV battery.
What regular person driving a Carolla can suddenly afford the insane prices of a new battery? Driving an out of warranty EV is like driving with a loaded gun to your head where you're just hoping it lasts long enough to be the next owners problem.

i wonder if the cost issue is battery tech and chemistry changing relatively faster than engines'
i would think after decades since the Prius we would see battery getting cheaper

I thought you NEVER rebuild engines, always just go junk yard a good used one. It's always more expensive to rebuild.

Jaguar, Range Rover, Audi, Mercedes, Infiniti, BMW, Porsche...
All of these brands have vehicles that depreciate over 60% in 5 years without even having to replace the engine.

Why do you guys keep comparing Corollas to cars like Tesla's? They are not even close to being an apples to apples comparison. You should be comparing the Model 3 to a BMW, Mercedes, or other vehicles that are in the $55k+ range. The more expensive the car, the higher the repair bill. If you buy a 15 year old Mercedes that originally went for $110k+ for $15k, it will still have repair bills on it like a $110k vehicle when something goes wrong.
