Maserati Ghibli extended warranty cost
Maserati’s extended warranty costs $2,000 to $2,500 per year, more than twice the cost of most third-party plans.
Note that these costs are based on research at ConsumerAffairs and include pricing reported on customer forums. Maserati doesn’t publish costs, so you need to contact a certified dealer to get a quote.
Unlike some extended warranties, Maserati’s warranty doesn’t change based on mileage, but the length of the coverage you purchase ahead of time may affect your total cost.
Maserati Ghibli warranty plans compared
Maserati provides three tiers of warranty coverage that are available for the Ghibli:
- Contractual warranty: This coverage comes with all new and certified pre-owned (CPO) Ghiblis. It’s bumper-to-bumper coverage, which is the most comprehensive protection available. It lasts for 4 years.
- Extended warranty: The extended warranty is optional and comes with added costs. It extends bumper-to-bumper coverage by 1 or 2 years, paid annually.
- Extra10 warranty: An optional warranty that provides powertrain coverage for an additional 4 years beyond the extended warranty, up to the vehicle’s 10th year.

Maserati Ghibli warranty eligibility requirements
Maserati’s extended warranty is available to vehicles within specific age limits. Though age is the only eligibility requirement, having an older car can prevent you from getting coverage.
If you own a new or CPO Ghibli, the factory warranty covers your car for 4 years. To be eligible for the extended warranty, enroll within 36 months of the vehicle's manufacturing date. Once enrolled, you can extend bumper-to-bumper coverage for 1 or 2 years and pay annually.
To qualify for the Extra10 Warranty, enroll during the 4th or 5th year of extended coverage. Re-enroll each year up to year 10 of your vehicle’s life.
Unlike many third-party extended vehicle warranties, Maserati’s warranty has no exclusions for mileage at the time of enrollment. And mileage won’t void your warranty at any point during the coverage.
| Maserati warranty | Coverage term | Enroll by | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contractual warranty | 4 years | Included in new and CPO Ghiblis | Bumper-to-bumper |
| Extended warranty | 5 or 6 years | 36 months | Bumper-to-bumper |
| Extra10 warranty | Up to 10 years total | Within 10 years | Powertrain only |
Maserati Ghibli extended warranty coverage
Both the contractual warranty and the extended warranty include bumper-to-bumper coverage for your Ghibli. This is the most comprehensive protection you can have for a vehicle, and it covers most parts and components. However, there are some exclusions:
Proper maintenance for most Maseratis includes replacing high-performance tires and using premium gasoline. Budget accordingly if you opt out of a warranty.
- Consumables: Like most extended warranties, Maserati’s optional coverage doesn’t cover consumable materials such as spark plugs, oil filters, tires, fluids and battery cables.
- Proper maintenance: If you neglect to maintain your vehicle or don’t keep accurate records, Maserati may void coverage. And the company stipulates that you must use Maserati’s service network for routine and special maintenance.
- Recall response: You must keep your car up to date on manufacturer recalls.
- Normal wear: Normal wear on paint, chrome plating and upholstery is not covered by the extended warranty.
- Accident history: Any component damaged due to an accident or improper use is excluded from coverage.
- Racing history: You may lose coverage if your Maserati service provider determines that you’ve used your vehicle for racing.
- Theft: Stolen vehicles are not covered.
The Extra10 warranty offers powertrain coverage only, so its scope is much smaller. With a powertrain warranty from Maserati, you get protection for the following:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Drivetrain
Maserati’s warranty coverage also includes complimentary roadside assistance and courtesy cars if you’re without your Ghibli due to covered repairs.

Maserati Ghibli warranty value and savings
Extended warranties for the Maserati Ghibli cost about double that of third-party options, but coverage can still be worthwhile. Repairs and maintenance costs for Maseratis are considerably more than for non-luxury vehicles, especially when using genuine parts and dealer services.
Major repairs on most vehicles can reach $10,000, especially for the engine, transmission, drivetrain and electronic systems. If these fail, an extended warranty plan could save you money right away. Compare the following list of common repair costs to the cost of extended coverage for your Maserati.
- Air bag replacement: $1,000 to $2,000
- AC compressor replacement: $1,300 to $2,600
- Alternator replacement: $450 to $2,500
- Catalytic converter replacement: $900 to $4,500
- Engine replacement: $5,000 to $10,000
- Head gasket replacement: $3,000 to $5,500
- Transfer case replacement: $2,000 to $8,000
- Transmission replacement: $3,000 to $9,000
Extended car warranties are a gamble. You may pay for coverage you never need, but could also save thousands in repairs if and when certain components fail.
When an extended warranty makes sense
There’s no guarantee an extended warranty will pay for itself, but it may be a good investment in some cases. For example:
Hidden ownership costs — high insurance premiums, luxury taxes and depreciation — can add to the burden of paying for expensive repairs out-of-pocket.
- You can’t budget for major repairs. Fewer surprise expenses is one upside to buying an extended warranty. If you have savings to cover major repairs, a warranty may not be worth it; but if you struggle to save, a warranty may save you from financial hardship.
- You want peace of mind. Even if your Maserati Ghibli extended warranty costs you more than it saves, having peace of mind that you won’t face expensive repairs might make it worthwhile. Since Maserati’s warranty includes roadside assistance and courtesy cars, coverage also buys convenience.
- You’re buying an older Ghibli. The older your vehicle, the more likely there will be an issue — making coverage worth the investment. You’ll also pay less over time if you start the Extra10 option in year 8 or 9.
- Your Ghibli is newer but has high mileage. Since Maserati stipulates no mileage limitations on coverage, an extended warranty for a Maserati Ghibli with high mileage is worth the cost — perhaps especially if the car already has more than 100,000 miles.
Maserati owners report high maintenance costs — an average of $1,500 per year — making the purchase of an extended warranty worthwhile, even if coverage costs more than other providers.
