I don’t recall ever seeing that many new Maseratis at a dealership at the same time.
Well, since the Biturbo, that is, but that’s not quite the same.
Ernie Boch Jr. bought up the NE Ferrari/Maserati territory to create Ferrari + Maserati of New England. (If you didn’t know that Ernie was involved, that plus sign and their website would give you a damn good clue.)
F + M is now America’s largest F/M dealership (they say). So this amount of inventory is hardly surprising. But the deals they are a going down! Brand new GTs for $26k off. Worth a look?
I like the beater looking car in the background.
What’s wrong with this picture? It looks like a Gold’s Gym parking lot with 4 black, 2 silver, a blue and a gray Maserati GT Coupe, 3 red, 2 silver and a yellow Ferrari 360 Modena, and that beater-looking car. But, as RF points out, all that’s wrong with this picture is that it is the largest F/M dealership with, perhaps, the largest unsold F/M cars.
There is nothing wrong with this picture. The dealer astutely located his business next door to where his client base congregates. The ‘roided-up gym rats can compensate for their shriveled-up testicles by purchasing new exotic sports cars. It’s all good.
the ’64 Chrysler 300 in the far right corner.

Maseratis seem to be the toys of executives or retired CEO types. Gymfolk can’t afford them — they compensate with, like, trucks that are kitted out to go baja racing.
maniceightball: “Maseratis seem to be the toys of executives or retired CEO types.”John Sacrimoni (‘Johnny Sack’) from The Sopranos drove one.
But if the ’64 Chrysler in the background is a 300K convertible with the ‘cross-ram’ engine, it’d be a cooler ride.
Joke: One of them is a Pontiac Fiero in disguise!
Serious answer: Now this theory only works if the shown parking lot belongs to a vacant building (which the rate must be low), but it is that those cars are one of those inventory glut that is starting to become commonplace. What’s wrong is that even luxury cars (along with the wealthy) are now affected by the recession, when it used to be nothing to worry about for them.
What’s wrong with this picture is that it near about sent me into cardiac arrest! I thought you had rules against posting porn on TTAC?
Here’s what’s wrong… it’s an historical picture. This picture was taken at the Foxboro dealership and it has since moved to Norwood, MA. I’m no longer able to stare sideways at the gorgeous exotics as I drive by, I now have to drive to Norwood to drool.
“Maseratis seem to be the toys of executives or retired CEO types.”
I own a Quattroporte S or I did. Your quote would be perhaps more correct as:
“Maseratis seem to be the toys of executives wives or retired CEO type wives.”
Aprilla scooter for me these days, damn cold ride for the Helsinki winter.
They should have sent… A poet.
Gran Turismo to Ferrari California: “What are you looking at, ugly?”
i wish one of those GT’s were parked in my driveway
The alcoholic SOB sales manager that ordered all these went 100% with BLAH colors. No Reds, yellows or high impact to sell to the roid ranger next door that is fortunate to be in-trust….with his trust fund.
black and silvers are great, navy ummm…you gotta have the right mix.

Now that IS interesting. Why wouldn’t they send me a pic of the new dealership, their pride and joy?
what’s wrong? They should be driven by us, not sitting on the lot.
There is something fundamentally wrong with so many exotic Italian cars sitting on a lot somewhere so obviously isolated and so close to winter.
The only thing wrong with the picture is that I cannot afford to buy the red F430 in the corner. Sob!
Maserati’s are mass produced ahead of demand these days??? How sad to see them being sold like toasters.
Say, is that the new Tiburon?

It’s a 360 modena…
But that’s even better…and cheaper…
The GTs standing on the lot are no more than logical result of the GT-S being a so much better car.
The 360s sitting idly in the background though, that’s just plain wrong.
Maseratis ?!….I thought they were Buick Rivieras with aftermarket ground effects kits.
Yeah, sean65’s right, because that’s a Rodman (another dealer/local business concern) logo above Gold’s Gym, so that’s in Walpole or Foxboro. The new dealership’s only been finished in Norwood for like a week or two I believe.
“jwolfe : The alcoholic SOB sales manager that ordered all these went 100% with BLAH colors. No Reds, yellows or high impact to sell”
Those are sold. These are the ones that are left.
I like the 64 300 too.
One would expect Maserattis and Ferraris to be sold from a dealership with more befitting facilities. Indoor showroom, at least? Not parked on asphalt like so many used lot queens.
RF…the clues that the pic is MONTHS old are the leaves on the trees. This being a pic of New England, I peg it at 2nd week of October, judging by the colors….but then, wouldn’t expect you to unglue your optical orbs from the metal in this shot….
BTW, that is a BUTTLOAD of investment to be paying floorplan interest on, ain’t it?
Presuming some (most) of them are still there, hope they don’t have a sudden spring hailstorm in those parts….hail dings on those cars would be like acne scars on Eva Longoria, a true shame.
What’s wrong is the picture was taken from the wrong angle. You missed my house on the other side.
Hmmm, there’s a derelect 64 300 sitting where I can see if from the commuter train. Maybe I should go and check for a cross ram engine? (I don’t want to get chased by dogs again though…that sucked.)
If I were spending that kinda dough on a car, I would expect it to be kept in a garage. The resale on these kinds of cars depends on them lasting to become collectible.
Anyway, if I were spending that much, the vehicle would have wings, so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter.
