Question Maybach Personalization

Just curious but can you order a Maybach that is just ONE and only ONE color? Every picture I've seen it has been a two-tone scheme. To tell you the truth I really don't like that! I'd prefer it to be ONE color. Also can you get it with a different type of wood or chrome wheels. I understand it's a personal luxury touring limousine, but can't it be a little sportier(4 tip exhaust that you can actually see. etc.) Is there anything else that can be ordered if anyone knows? Thanx a bunch!

my understanding is...

...that you can get whatever you want. For that kind of dough, the car is nearly completely customizable.

I've heard that Mercedes said they'll use a special paint with real gold in it that may cost $100k and up, should an owner wish for such an eccentric thing...

The Maybach is fully customizable - 2 million stock ways of ordering it plus anything else you may want.

And yes it is available in one-tone paint - below is a solid black colored Maybach.

Yes, the side panels can be painted the same color as the rest of the car. Any color available for the majority of the car can be used on the side panels. There are also several different types of wood you can select. There appear to only be two styles of wheels available now, and neither is chrome.

But just realize, even though most of you will not ever order this car, that there will certainly be more features offered in the future. This car isn't even out yet, so they don't know how sales are going to be. I'm sure if it is a big success, there will be many other options available in the future.

Someone told me that all Maybachs have already been ordered and the only way to get one now is if you have super duper hookups with a super large dealer. Is this true? Cuz if not i was wondering if i could pester my dad into a maybach. I told him that all current ones were taken.

Any help on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

No, you can get one. How long it takes to get it depends on how many orders your dealer has in already. My dealer has only one or two orders so far.

Also, not all dealers will be selling the car. Only certain dealers who have paid to get the franchise will have it. And they have certain rules they have to follow to get the car. One of the things they have to have is the Maybach Environment. This is the room where you go to and sit with the salesman. There is a plasma screen and computer that shows the car in all different views. You can change all the colors and options and it all comes up on the car on the screen.

Pretty neat, if your dealer has it and will let you take a look. They probably won't waste their time if they don't think you will buy one.

Are there any dealers in Houston that have this little SUPER CENTER? lol

I heard that only top dealers like in Canada and Manhattan will have them.

I have no idea if anyone has it in Houston. If you have a number of dealers there, I would think that one of them would have it.

But no, it is not limited to top dealers. There is one at my dealer, and two others fairly nearby.

Okay! I don't know of any dealers down in that area. I'm in the Akron/Canton area. Kempthorn is in Canton and Ganley is in Akron. What dealers are down by where you live? I'd like to check their inventory! Peace!

The only one by me is MB of Cincinnati. There are two in Columbus. They are Potter and Crown. Then I think there is one in Centerville, near Dayton.

If you go to MBUSA.com and go to locate a dealer, you can put in your zipcode. Then it will show you your closest dealers. But at the bottom of the page, you can select all dealers in Ohio and get a list of all of them. PM or email me if you have any other questions. Are you looking for new or used cars? I work at the Cincy dealer, so I can tell you a little about what we have in stock right now.

That's great! Thank you and I greatly appreciate all of your help! I am currently searching for a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz as a first car and my grandfather is searching for a 2003 CLK320 Coupe. Thanks again!
