MELBOURNE's famous prestige automotive group, Zagame, has opened a new $15 million dealership for Maserati to cater for the surging demand, which has jumped by 166% this year.
The opening of Maserati Melbourne at the corner of Swanston and Victoria streets will give the city its second Maserati dealership and its first site exclusively dedicated to Maserati.
Maserati Australia and New Zealand’s general manager Glen Sealey said with sales growth at this remarkable level and more new models on the horizon, it has become essential to open a new site in Melbourne to ensure that Maserati’s rigorous levels of customer service are maintained.
Following the launch of the all new Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli in this, Maserati’s centenary year, demand for Maserati products has surged to record levels. In Australia Maserati has sold more cars this year than in 2012 and 2013 combined and Victoria has maintained its position as Australia’s number one Maserati market, with sales rising by 166%, according the official VFACTS figures.
“With its existing dealership in Swan St Richmond, described at its opening by Maserati as one its best dealerships in the world and its record of sales and customer service with Maserati since they took over the representation in Victoria, we had no hesitation appointing Zagame to open this second facility which is a key component to Maserati’s national plans,” Sealey said.
Zagame Automative’s managing director Bobby Zagame said Maserati Melbourne will enable the group to offer an even better and more convenient service to existing owners and as well as offering a quality of service to new clients.
Zagame said the 15 car showroom will be able to display the full Maserati range in optimum conditions as well as an after sales area with six workshop bays with parts and accessory support.
