i m not nerd on engine, if wanted a ferrari engine i would buy a ferrari and i’m fine eating authentic italian linguine alfredo even so alfredo doesn’t even know where italy is.
Get the Alfa Romeo SUV, then. Stelvio Quadrifoglio is a better “value” at least. And it has a four-leaf clover badge on the side. It’s no Maserati (in bad accent) trident but you don’t get more personality than that!
i don’t like the Stelvio and the four-leaf will not be enough to give more good luck than with the trident.

Okay so coming back to the main question, it’s not a great deal. Sure it’s a Maserati but you can do better. Start with asking dealerships around you and then set your own personal target on what you want to pay for the car. I don’t think other suggestions are working and you’re pretty set on the car you want which is fair as you’re the one paying for it.
It’s kind of hard to say what a good deal is on the Levante. It isn’t a popular car and the residual is poor, so it’s not going to lease well unless you get a ridiculous discount.
That said, nobody wants these things, which could work to OP’s advantage. It may be possible to find a unicorn if you can find a dealer who just wants to get rid of one that’s been sitting for a year. Sometimes you just need to find a car that doesn’t sell well and a dealer willing to do anything to get rid of it.
In short, $1,000/mo for this particular car is dreadful, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is actually competitive. We just don’t have a lot of data points since nobody buys them. Obviously OP should shop this quote and see what he can get. Maybe there’s a unicorn Levante out there with a 25% discount just waiting for someone desperate enough to buy it. Buying an undesirable car (like the Hyundai Genesis was back in 2016) could totally work to your advantage. Maserati have had to slash prices because they just simply can’t get anyone to buy these things (abysmal sales year over year the last decade or so). We may see some good hacks in the coming years (unless they pull the plug first)

CarGurus shows a new one in Sterling, VA, that’s been on the lot for 768 days.
Is there still lease support on 2019s?

i asked for a new 2019 demo somewhere else and they said that there is not a program for leasing 2019.
I was joking with the question. 
Perhaps they’d cut a deal on a purchase. They have to be sick of looking at it by now.
Don’t make a grown man cry

With the state of the resale market, may I possibly recommend… 
Apparently Ferrari enters the game next year as well… can’t wait to see the lease numbers on this one. 
… back to your actual original question. No, not 1000/mo material IMO.

In my best David Attenborough voice, “Oddly majestic, the Maserati looks best in it’s natural habitat: perched high upon a flat-bed heading back to the dealership”.
With the state of the market, expect to pay a premium.
Didn’t you give up your F-Type like I gave up in person high school?

Dropped $300 for a replacement. The worst part about it is I got the inspection report back and the screw wasn’t noted anywhere. Meaning it literally happened as I pulled my car 7 feet back into my garage from the driveway. I know for sure it wasn’t my screw — I don’t own any massive screws. I’m guessing he either dropped it (why he’d be carrying one, I don’t know) or somehow the breeze blew one right behind my rear tire during the 15 minutes he was here inspecting. Really frustrating.
