Maybach serviced at Keyes Van Nuys

I was at Keyes Mercedes at Van Nuys, when I saw a Maybach in the service area. I casually asked the parts guy, "What kind of loaner does the Maybach guy get?" He replied, "That gentleman really gets whatever he wants." I said, "What did he want?" The parts guy replied, "He has an SL65 as a loaner, I think."

Wow.

It was a black and tan 62. It was the first Maybach I ever saw with a real license plate on it!

Maybach, seems to have electrical gremlins, and all (most parts) have to air shipped from Europe. The local dealer has a walled off area strictly for Maybach service. The dedicated the best mechanic to it, who since has been transferred to Montvale to "practice taking them apart" for service info.

Comeon, you don't expect people who fork out that kinda of money for a Maybach to drive it themselves do you?

If I own one, I'd hire a sexy blond as chauffeur. And make her wash the car, not the dealer.
