The Papua New Guinean government is unsuccessfully trying to sell dozens of Maserati Quattroporte that remained on its balance sheet after the APEC summit in 2018.
In 2018, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) held a meeting in one of the world’s poorest countries, Papua New Guinea, which purchased dozens of luxury cars for participants’ transportation, including forty $ 150,000 Maserati Quattroporte.
The government’s plan was to sell the cars to private customers after the event, but only two copies were sold in three years.
The island government admits that it made a mistake in choosing such expensive cars and is now ready to sell them at a significant discount of 114 thousand dollars, but such an offer may not bear fruit, because Maserati maintenance and service costs are high.
It should be noted that the fleet supervisors of the APEC meeting have been struggling with failures from the very beginning – in 2019 it turned out that by that time 208 cars used at the summit had disappeared. At the time, the police allowed the cars to be used for private purposes and promised to launch an investigation.
