Question 1

How much is a Maserati GranTurismo in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In ZervTek dealer stock in November 2026, early GranTurismos started from about ¥2.7 million FOB. 2011 to 2014 cars were about ¥4.2 million to ¥4.3 million, 2018 and 2019 Sport models about ¥7.6 million to ¥8.1 million, and the 2023 Trofeo about ¥14.9 million to ¥16.2 million FOB.

Question 2

What engine does the GranTurismo have?

Accepted Answer

The first generation (M145) used a Ferrari-derived V8, 4.2 litres in the first cars and 4.7 litres in the S and Sport. The 2023 generation (M189) uses a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 called Nettuno, and there is also an electric Folgore.

Question 3

What does MC Auto Shift mean?

Accepted Answer

MC Auto Shift is the name Maserati gave to the sportier setting of the automatic gearbox in the GranTurismo Sport, giving quicker shifts. In Japanese listings the words appear in the grade, such as Sport MC Auto Shift.

Question 4

Can I import a Maserati GranTurismo into the USA?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. The first GranTurismos were built in 2007, so the 25-year rule is years away, and the model was also sold new in the US. Check current rules, but a local car is the practical choice.

Question 5

Is the GranTurismo a reliable used car?

Accepted Answer

It can be if cared for, but it is a high-performance Italian coupe and costs a lot to maintain. A full service record, a clean auction sheet and a physical inspection are the best protection.

Question 6

How should I ship a GranTurismo from Japan?

Accepted Answer

A container is the usual choice, as it protects the paint and wheels and suits a low coupe. RoRo is cheaper but exposes the car to more handling. We can quote both for your port.

Question 7

How much is a used Maserati Levante in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In ZervTek dealer stock in November 2026, early 2017 to 2019 V6 four-wheel-drive Levantes started from about ¥2.0 million FOB. Newer 2022 and 2023 Modena and Modena S cars sat between about ¥6.3 million and ¥7.7 million FOB. These are asking prices, not quotations.

Question 8

What engine does the Maserati Levante have?

Accepted Answer

The main engine is a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 built by Ferrari, with a ZF eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The Trofeo uses a 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8, and the GT Hybrid from 2022 uses a 2.0 litre turbocharged mild-hybrid four-cylinder.

Question 9

What does MLE30 mean on a Levante?

Accepted Answer

MLE30 is a Japanese listing code for the V6 Levante. Variants such as MLE30A and MLE30D appear on early four-wheel-drive cars, while MLE30 alone is common on the later Modena and Modena S. MLE20 is used for the mild-hybrid GT Hybrid. Ask us to confirm the code before you bid.

Question 10

Can I import a Maserati Levante into the USA?

Accepted Answer

Not as a practical option. The Levante was sold new in the United States and the first cars were built in 2016, so the 25-year rule is many years away. Check current US rules, but a local car is the simpler route for an American buyer.

Question 11

Is the Maserati Levante expensive to maintain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it costs more than a mainstream SUV to service. Parts, tyres, brakes and air-suspension repairs are premium priced. A car with a complete dealer service record and a clean auction sheet is the best protection against a large bill after shipping.

Question 12

Is a Levante a good SUV to ship in a container?

Accepted Answer

It is the usual choice. The car is tall, heavy and expensive, so a secured container protects the paint and the wheels better than an open deck. Container space costs more than RoRo, and we can quote both for your destination port.

Question 13

How much is a used Maserati Quattroporte in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026, our stock samples started at about ¥609,000 FOB for an older fifth-generation car, while cars from 2017 to 2022 ran from roughly ¥2.5 million to ¥6.0 million FOB. Grade, mileage and options decide the price.

Question 14

What is the difference between the fifth and sixth Quattroporte?

Accepted Answer

The fifth generation (2003 to 2012) has a Ferrari-built naturally aspirated V8 and Pininfarina styling. The sixth (2013 onward) is larger and uses twin-turbo V6 or V8 engines with an eight-speed automatic. The sixth is more modern and costs more.

Question 15

Is the Maserati Quattroporte expensive to maintain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it costs more than a mainstream saloon, especially tyres, brakes and suspension work. A full service history and a specialist workshop help keep costs predictable. Cheap older cars deserve the most careful inspection before purchase.

Question 16

What does GranSport mean on a Quattroporte?

Accepted Answer

GranSport is a sportier trim with distinctive bumpers, wheels and interior details. It appears on sixth-generation cars, and S GranSport indicates the more powerful S engine. It usually costs more than the base version.

Question 17

Can I import a Quattroporte into the USA?

Accepted Answer

Not on the 25-year basis, because every Quattroporte from the fifth generation onward is too new. Check US rules with the authorities. Right-hand-drive markets are the usual destinations for a Japanese car.

Question 18

Should a Quattroporte ship by RoRo or container?

Accepted Answer

RoRo is cheaper and simple for a car in good condition. A container gives protection from weather and handling, which suits a high-value or low-mileage car. We can quote both when you send an inquiry.

Question 19

How much is a used Maserati Grecale in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In ZervTek dealer stock in November 2026, 2023 GT and Modena cars started at about ¥5.2 million FOB. 2025 cars ran from about ¥7.2 million to ¥8.3 million FOB, and a 2026 Trofeo was about ¥13.9 million FOB. These are asking prices, not quotations.

Question 20

What engine does the Maserati Grecale have?

Accepted Answer

The GT and Modena use a 2.0 litre turbocharged mild-hybrid petrol engine with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The Trofeo uses a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 called Nettuno. A fully electric Folgore model also exists but is rarely in Japanese stock.

Question 21

What is the difference between the Grecale GT, Modena and Trofeo?

Accepted Answer

The GT is the entry model with about 300 horsepower. The Modena adds equipment and about 330 horsepower from the same four-cylinder. The Trofeo has the 3.0 litre V6 with about 530 horsepower and costs much more. Check each lot sheet for the options fitted.

Question 22

Can I import a Maserati Grecale into the USA?

Accepted Answer

Not through the 25-year rule, because the Grecale was launched in 2022 and was sold new in the US. Check current rules, but an American buyer is better served by a local car.

Question 23

Is the Maserati Grecale a good car to import from Japan?

Accepted Answer

It can be, because the cars are young and often have low kilometres. The main limits are the price, the need for a clean service history and the importing rules of your country. Check for a left-hand-drive spec if your market requires it.

Question 24

What does MGR20C mean on a Grecale?

Accepted Answer

MGR20C is a Japanese listing code that we see on GT and Modena Grecales with the four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine. MGR30 appears on the Trofeo. The code tells you the model band, so ask us to confirm it with the grade on the lot sheet.

Question 25

How much does a used Maserati Ghibli cost in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026, ZervTek dealer stock showed 2015 and 2016 Ghibli S cars from about ¥898,000 FOB, a 2017 S Q4 near ¥1.12 million, and 2021 and 2022 cars between about ¥3.5 million and ¥5.94 million. FOB excludes freight, insurance and local taxes.

Question 26

Is the Maserati Ghibli reliable?

Accepted Answer

It needs more care than a mainstream saloon. A car with a full dealer service record and a clean auction sheet is a reasonable purchase, but infotainment, electrics and cooling can be sources of cost. Budget for maintenance, and inspect the car before bidding.

Question 27

What engine does the Maserati Ghibli have?

Accepted Answer

Most Ghiblis have a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 developed with Ferrari, in two states of tune, with the S producing more power. After 2021 a 2.0 litre mild-hybrid four-cylinder, called GT Hybrid, joined the line, and the Trofeo has a V8.

Question 28

What do MG30A and MG20 mean on a Ghibli?

Accepted Answer

They are Japanese chassis codes. MG30A and MG30AA are listed on Ghibli S and S Q4 cars from 2015 to 2021, while MG30 and MG20 appear on 2022 Modena and GT Hybrid cars. Always read the grade name as well as the code.

Question 29

Can I import a Maserati Ghibli into the USA?

Accepted Answer

The current Ghibli saloon is too young for the 25-year rule, and Maserati sold it new in the US, so a Japanese car is not an import option there. Only a 1990s Ghibli coupe built in 2001 or earlier would qualify under that rule.

Question 30

Which is better, the Ghibli or the Quattroporte?

Accepted Answer

The Ghibli is smaller, lighter and cheaper, and it is the better choice for a driver. The Quattroporte is a long flagship with more rear-seat room, so it suits a chauffeured or long-distance owner. Both share the Ferrari-developed V6 in many versions.
