The maybachs are not selling well from everything I hear. I have seen only one on the road, in a neighborhood littered with ferraris, lambos, RRs, etc.

I didn't realize Maybachs get unlimited mileage warranty from MB. That's a pretty sweet incentive.

the auction hasn't even come close to ending yet. most people bid at the last minute, so i wouldn't come to any conclusions until it ends regarding to the final price.

They should replace the wood with a different grain.

They are a bit overpriced when new. I'm not surprised to see folks take baths like this...

I agree completely, I don't think a Maybach warrants a $200,000 premium over an S600/65. All it is is a bigger S-class, I would much rather have a Rolls-Royce Phantom at that price range....

See, the benefit of the Maybach is that it would be appropriate for you to drive it, whereas the Phantom is the type of car to be driven around in.

Neither did I. Does anyone know if that is true? If so I might just buy one if the price is right. I put a lot of miles on my cars and would love to have a nice highway car that I could run the milage up on and still have a warranty. Will Mercedes service this car?
