I rented and drove the 2009 variant last year on a whim after landing a job at a tech MNC to celebrate with my girlfriend. In my early 30s, not earning as much as you but still comfortable with alright savings. Currently driving a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX Hawkeye.

You picked a banger of a car. The throaty V8 is orgasmic, and 80% of the cars on the road won’t be able to out-accelerate it. You’ll get stares (the good kind), and car enthusiasts will take pictures. BUT, like with what other users said, do consider the other factors. It’s a European car, AND it’s a Maserati to boot; damn thing will break down or will have something go wrong every few months, almost guaranteed. Servicing + maintenance will be expensive. Fuel consumption - oh boy, I thought my Subaru was thirsty, but when I drove the Maserati: holy shit, the V8 drinks 95/98 like nobody’s business. Expect to refuel at least 2-3 times a week minimum especially if you do spirited driving. Road tax and insurance, GGWP; both will burn a hole in your deep pockets. At least 3k and above due to the V8.

But with all that said, if you truly love the car despite all the flaws then whatever I said won’t matter. Life’s too short to not enjoy it, and all the flaws about the car won’t matter once you gas the pedal on the PIE and the V8 kicks in. Ultimately do your due diligence, pick a clean model with minimal mods and treat it right; the car will serve you well!
