Levante is one of the cars I am looking at. I stopped in the Maserati Beverly Hills (located in Santa Monica) last week. They didn’t seem real motivated to deal.
However, I logged into Chase.com today and they had a promotion for 7% off MSRP on all 2018 Maserati models. The fine print said it could be combined with all other promotions and incentives, so this might be worth looking at for those looking to buy a Maserati.
7% off MSRP doesn’t sound like much of a discount for the poor selling Levante. Even though previous Levante deals posted were 2017s, the discounts were much larger.
I wonder if the chase thing is an incentive that can get dropped on the deal at the last second, then it’d be quite a thing if a dealer is discounting 10-12%, add some factory incentives, then another 7%? Certainly could be a winner
I spoke with Anaheim Hills Maserati today. They said they were putting two cars on this months “lease specials” both around 78K MSRP. The guy quoted me $2,500 down, $920 a month including tax??? I know they do not lease as well as the Ghibli but this was almost double. He didn’t fight to keep the conversation going when I expressed my surprise at how high the payment was compared to past Ghibli lease deals.
People were surprised that I paid 1100/month for my 92k MSRP Levante with Zegna interior and 21 inch wheels. Trust me, I tried to do better but they were not budging.
The Chase program is a little misleading because the dealers will negotiate with you and if you drop the Chase discount on them, they will tell you they are NOT a participating dealer. It’s not as if the dealer is getting an additional kick back from Chase.
