Is it worth trading my Infiniti G37 sedan for a Maserati Quattroporte?

[john]

Ok so I currently have a 2009 Infiniti G37 sedan with 15K miles on it, I have had it for a little over a year now, I bought it last March. I have been asking you people on YA regarding to which car I should trade in my G37 for such as the New 2011 Infiniti M or 2010 Audi A6. Just yesterday i went to a private luxury car dealer in search of a 2010 Mercedes E-class just to check it out, but then I came across this used 2007 Maserati quattroporte with 29K miles on the lot for $49,480 plus dealer fee tag fee all for about $52,500-$53,000 OTD. Now i know that with 50K i can buy a brand new luxury sedan like the Infiniti M, BMW 5 series and Audi A6 but Im clinging onto the Maserati, I cant afford to but a brand new one for $120,000 so why not buy a used one?? Basically i need some guidence, IS THIS A GOOD INVESTMENT??? or should i keep looking??

Heres a Pic of the car. (Pics of the same car for sale, just different angles)

Jay - Thank you for the help. Well my G37 has still maintained its value because its equipped with the X package. The last time I went to my Infiniti dealer they offered me $33,000 for my car if i wanted to trade it in for the New 2011 M37, but i paid like $43K for my car and im not giving it up for that cheap. I might sell it on my own. And yes you are right the Maserati will eventually appreciate instead of depreciate compared to other cars.

lets see here u got a G37 that is worth about 31k

how much is the dealer willing to give you for the g37 ?

that will us determine weather the trade is worth it for you .

here is a couple of things to consider :

1. the maserati is way more expensive to repair than a infinity

2. maserati would be a better investment since it has better chances of holding and maybe even gaining value with time
