2016 Maybach s600. How reliable is it? Considering purchase.
Hello folks. I am looking at a 2016 Maybach S 600 today with 30,000 miles. It’s in good condition but just wanted to know about reliability. I’ve had S class in the past but not the V12. Any help is appreciated.

279 V-12 is updated from that fitted to 221 cars. Now with individual ignition coils for each cylinder. Thus; the coil pack/voltage transformer issue is solved. Expect quiet smooth performance with more than enough torque to move the car when prodded. Seven speed transmission behind it uses a torque converter... it will be smooth. Expect it to go about it’s business without drama. Magic Body Control is amazing. You’ll see.
Maintenance is generally less hassle then the V-8 powered cars. 24 spark plugs that can be done by a good DIY-er in an afternoon.
Be sure all fluids are fresh. You’ll enjoy the car.
222 cars are the best S Class.
