Can someone who owns a Maybach help me out with purchasing a key?
Hey guys! I'm kind of new to this forum. I am a collector of exotic and luxury car keys, and there is only one more left that i am very interested in- the maybach key! I was wondering if someone on here maybe owns a Maybach, or has the ability to find me a maybach key i can purchase?
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!

I can't help you as I don't own a Maybach but I can make some suggestions...
First of all keep an eye on ebay, although a Maybach one on there is probably few and far between.
You can buy a new style MB key for your current C-Class at the dealer.
If a Maybach owner does help you out, they don't have to destroy the guts of the key, all they have to do is have the dealer deactivate it in the car's computer.
Basically on any Mercedes (and Maybach) if you lose a key, the dealer can attach the computer and tell the car not to recognize that number key. This would ensure that the key would never work in the car again.

My favorite of all the keys is the Bentley as well. Followed by the Rolls Royce
I've been searching ebay daily, and i mean DAILY- since the summer for these keys. I've come across only two auctions for the RR keys (i now own both) but have never seen an auction for a Meybach key. That's why i thought someone here might own one =/
Do you guys have any other suggestions as to how i can get one of the Maybach keys?

I purchased the RR key for $150 actually. The seller didn't title it very well and it was only a 3 day auction so it didn't get many interests.
I really want the maybach key!

they all sell for different prices...
the bentley's usually sell anywhere from ~$150-$300 on eBay depending on their condition. The harder problem is FINDING the keys in the first place lol...
Before this last summer, i hadn't seen a SINGLE bentley key on ebay for sale, not a one. Then for some reason, they started selling like wildfire. There have been multiple keys for sale at the same time, it amazes me.
Just search 'bentley key' on ebay and you'll find plenty of them Trust me, if you have one of those puppies on your keychain, wherever you go people notice 
Still looking for the Maybach key though...
I can't believe how hard it is to find one... Everyone that's posted on here isn't even responding to my PM's lol

it's not really the same as the mercedes key. It's the 02-06 style with chrome sides. The only key like this is the slr mclaren and the maybach.

They are so simliar though, you have to look very close as the 08-09 keys have the same chrome sides. They should stand out more from the other more common models in the lineup.
