2004 W240 Maybach 57
Hello from Colorado!

Just purchased 2004 W240 Maybach 57 from Salt Lake City and drove it home to Colorado. Was out of Mercedes-Benz for 10 years, but feels good to be back in! Previously owned W140 300SE from 1993-2006, 1988 W124 300E from 1988-1993 and 1987 W126 420SEL from 1989-1993.

Of course, the Maybach is all about the rear cabin amenities...

Welcome to the forum. Your Maybach looks really nice and clean. Congrats!

What are your plans for it?

I am in Monument. Are you in MBCA? I was in Mile-High Section when I had my W140. I'm thinking about re-joining now.
