Used Quattroporte vs new Jaguar XF

[nisheeth29]

I can't afford a brand new Quattroporte so wanted to open up this discussion: should I buy a 2 year old used Quattroporte that would set me back by $75k or should I buy a new Supercharged Jaguar XF that will run me around $65k.

Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
