It's a 9 year old base model S350, worth about 30K, that someone added fake Maybach wheels, grill and a few badges to. Still worth 30K USD max. Not sure what currency the 69K is though.

I doubt it would even worth that kind of money. It’s a 2014 (older model year) that did not even have the glass touch panel and instead had the ugly dial pad, standard leather, and not a single option/package in the rear, and even worse, they added fake badges and wheels which for sure would REDUCE value if anything. If we exclude damaged/auctioned cars, probably it is so hard to find a W222 that is worse than this one to buy…..Am serious.

I agree with superpop and S W222 , it's not worth buying it . Buying a facelift regular W222 would be a wiser choice

it's Austrlian $...so would be so almost $44 USD...
unfortunately prices here are much higher than US , by at least 15%...having said that , base 2014 model S350 shouldn't be higher than AUd50,000 ...so they are using the name of Maybach to overprice sell...I told my friend ,,,,thanks for all comments ...

I mean, you can always tell from the C pillar. If it AT LEAST had the Maybach grille and the standard S-class ornament, it would be passable, but this one irks me the wrong way. I also wonder, what the base model is? I don't see any exhaust tips, so... could this be a diesel?
