Too cheap Maybach?

Can anyone figure out why this 2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet V12 VIN: (WDDXK7KB5HA027481) is so cheap at 139,000-? It's about half the price of most others listed online. Something seems wrong here, any thoughts? Thanks, Bob O.

I have the exact same car and its fantastic. The lower price could be for several reasons.
1. It's got 28,000 miles on it. To maintain its "Collectable Value" it usually needs to have much lower mileage. Not that 28,000 miles is excessive in any way for a 2017 car, it's not, but it's not a "Grade A" collectable car with that kind of mileage. (For reference, mine has about 4800 miles on it and is valued at about $240,000 give or take).
2. Condition. Is it well kept? scratches? wear and tear on the leather? etc? These things can greatly affect the value a such a car.
3. Two accidents. I'd ask for copies of the accident repair invoices to see what was damaged and to see who did the repairs? Are they a reputable body shop? Does the car have any gremlins as a result of the repairs? Were original MBZ parts used (especially important on such a car).

If the condition is good, it's a clean car, and the repairs were properly done, then it's a fantastic car and at a great price. Feel free to PM me to discuss.
