Maserati Joins Certified Pre-Owned Business

With the launch of the Maserati Trident Discoveries Certified Pre-Owned Program at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show, the Italian luxury brand joins Bentley and Ferrari as yet another ultraluxury brand with a CPO program.

Maserati’s program ensures that the odometer is accurate and that the car hasn’t been in a serious accident or driven on a track. We’re not sure how Maserati can claim for certain that the Quattroporte you’re looking at hasn’t been thrown around a racetrack a time or two, but the likelihood of that ever happening is admittedly low. The program also includes a 120-point inspection and roadside assistance.

What do you think of these programs? Do you think the price of certification is worth any extra peace of mind that may come with it — and does it become even more important when springing for a high-dollar used luxury car?
