If you live in France and want a cheap Maserati, now could be the time to buy one
January 23, 2025 at 21:09
- Bidding for a 2024 GranTurismo Trofeo worth over €255,000 will start at just €80,000.
- In total, the CLG Motors dealership is parting ways with 13 new and used Maserati cars.
- At least three Maserati dealerships were forced to close in 2024 as brand sales slipped.
Maserati is in a bit of a bind these days—though “bind” might be underselling it. While full 2024 sales figures haven’t rolled in just yet, the numbers we do have aren’t painting a rosy picture. In the first nine months of the year, the Italian automaker managed to deliver just 8,600 cars, a massive 58.3% drop compared to the 20,600 vehicles it sold during the same period in 2023.
As a result of these plummeting sales, some Maserati dealerships are shutting up shop. Last year, at least three closed in France, including one in the city of Rennes. While that’s bad news for locals who were looking to pick up the keys to a new Maserati, it could be good news for those who want to buy a Maserati at a bit of a bargain as the dealer is selling off its inventory as part of its liquidation.

As reported by ItalPassion, no less than 13 Maserati models are being sold by CLG Motors this Friday. Some of the cars are brand new and have never been driven, while others only have delivery miles, and several are cheap used examples.
The priciest model being sold is a 2024 GranTurismo Trofeo. It’s been driven just 84 km (52 miles) and has a €255,998 (~$266,300) retail price in France. However, bidding will open at just €80,000 (~$83,200). It’s hard to say just how high bidding will go, but there’s a good chance someone will pick up the keys to it for far less than the MSRP.
The auction also includes a 2024 Levante Modena Ultima with 42 km (26 miles) on the clock and a retail price of over €157,000 (~$163,400). Bidding for it will start at €60,000 (~$62,400). Two models, each with a grand total of 0 km on the odometer, are also being sold. The first is a Grecale GT Hybrid starting at €40,000 / ~$41,600 (MSRP €92,300 / ~$96,100), and the second is a Grecale Hybrid with bidding to kick off from €30,000 / ~$31,200 (MSRP €91,508 / ~$95,200).
There are also some potential bargains to be had with one of the used models being sold. One of these includes a 2021 Quattroporte Trofeo driven 58,631 km (36,431 km). Bidding for it will open at €20,000 (~$20,800).
For anyone interested, just be prepared for some competitive bidding. After all, you might not be the only one eyeing these Maseratis with a calculator in hand.
