Nice how much did you pay for it ? I know they normally run for around 700 new.

The Maybach key cost me only $250 The guy selling it clearly had no idea of it's true worth- i could easily get $600 for it if i were to put it up on ebay lol...

I offered him $250 and he said DEAL!! I was just low-balling him, but he bit

Now all i need is a Maybach keychain. Can't seem to find any!! lol Would a Mercedes dealer have some nice Maybach keychains?

Do the Maybach keys retail for that much, or they could sell for that much just because they are rare and hard to get?

Pretty sure they're in the $1000 range new from the dealer, just because they're Maybach.

I know they'd go for a lot on eBay due to the fact that they're RARE, and not to mention RARE lol. I know there are a lot of other collectors out there that want this piece as well. I would have payed close to that if the seller hadn't bit for my $250 offer. I've been collecting keys for about a year now, and have never seen one for sale anywhere until this guy e-mailed me about it.

Aren't there only something like 12 Maybach's sold per year??

From emercedesbenz.com...
http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jan09/0...mber_2008.html

2008 US Maybach Sales: 119
2007 US Maybach Sales: 156

I think probably around 500 or so worldwide per year?

My SL55 had the wallet card key. It was actually kinda cheesy.

Here are the keys i have so far:

Maserati Quattroporte




Rolls Royce Phantom



Bentley Continental GT



And a few others such as the newerr MB S class, Infiniti Smart keys, Aston Martin Db7, Db9, DbS, Lexus, etc.

I know some of you may be weary about selling your car keys, thinking i may try to steal them or what not, but i have absolutely no intentions of doing so, they're just for bling

I would just buy one myself but the only way to get one is to actually OWN one and use a vin number. I was thinking i could pay someone who owns a Maybach to order a key. You could remove the internal guts and keep the cut keyblade for yourself, and just give me the shell. I could buy a used MB key and put those guts in the Maybach key since they're the same size anyways.

PLEASE let me know if any of you guys would be willing to help me out, or if you know someone who may be able to. Thanks so much! You can either leave a post, PM me or e-mail me at cduluk@***.net if you can help me. hanks again!

Hey you can buy them on ebay which is the best online store where it costs you less
