Papua New Guinea sells 38 Maserati cars

Three years ago, Papua New Guinea bought three hundred cars, including 40 Maserati and three Bentley Flying Spur. The cars were purchased for the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The cars were transported by plane from Sri Lanka. Each Maserati is paid about $ 142,000, in a country where, according to the UN, 40% of the population survives on less than a dollar a day.

Meanwhile, rumors have been heard that the cars have disappeared. The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, John Pundari, showed the place where the cars were stored, but there were no remaining 300 cars. Pundari personally admitted that buying a Maserati model was a big mistake.

Authorities decided to sell all 40 Maserati models, but only two were sold. Due to reduced interest, the remaining 38 models were offered at a lower price of $ 114,000.

Given the conditions, primarily roads, lack of service and sales network and general poverty, it is unlikely that cars will be sold in the country.
