For me the answer to the OP's question is 'it depends'. If you like to change cars fairly regularly then resale may be a factor. Despite plenty of evidence to conclude that a regularly used car is better than one that rarely turns a wheel, the market says otherwise. The Maserati market sadly is not large so this is often a factor. I recall a few years ago when I wanted to sell a QPV and, at that point in time, there was nobody buying regardless! Anyway, a 7 year old car with 20k miles will be much easier to sell than one with 50k, let alone 100k. If you are buying with a few to long term ownership then condition and history are much more important. I would then target a car that had been doing 5k miles or so per annum and properly serviced by one of the better indies so it does not need all of brakes, bushes, etc as a poorly maintained Maserati could need 10-15k to put in the right condition for regular use.
