Who has a MAYBACH in your country?

[hornyalex1]

I know of only one guy in Norway who last year bought a Maybach 57S. They don't seem to be selling very well.

Pity really...damn fine car.

[Piacki_117]

I think there are much more than one Maybach in Norway... Don't think that because you don't see them they does not exist.



EDIT : added a pic

[2ndclasscitizen]

In Australia there's the one in my garage

[jaromull]

I know about one here in Czech Republic. It is owned by a gentleman who ran a bookmaker agency, now sold to somebody else.

[Dary]

There is more than 4 in Kuwait

Well, oil makes even Maybach to be not so far out of reach ! ;)

[:Exige:]

Any concerned about bad grammar on these thread?

Well, you and 2ndclasscitizen could feel concerned, so as the rest is composed of bloody foreigners.

[cristipaul]

in my country romania there are 2 maybachs

[d-quik]

not meant to sell in high volumes...not a pity

[carbrochuretom]

UK must have loads, Ive seen about 10 in one day when out in London, you often get a few hanging around the London Airports picking up celebs and important people.

Ugh, how can they not be selling well if all 57S models were bought before they were built?

The S model is a limited run.

[baddabang]

I seen 3 in florida, but who knows how many there are here?

[hornyalex1]

Well, seeing as Mercedes were hoping to sell 1000 Maybachs per annum and seem unlikely to sell much more than 300 in 2006...I think it's safe to say that sales have been disappointing.

[NuclearCrap]

Who knows how many Maybachs are here in California? :D

My local car dealers are filled with exotics, bunch of AMGs, some RR Phantoms, some Ferraris, a SLR, bunch of Porsches, blah blah blah............

The only thing I can't believe is that I saw the same Maybach 62 on separate days, same color combo, same ol' driver. :D

[my porsche]

theres a few in my area, probably 5-10 more around the city or so...


this is like the english as a second language thread :p

[go.pawel]

I know of at least 3 Maybachs in Poland.
One has recently been bought by a member of parliament. About a week after that he got expelled from his party for "showing off and improper behaviour".
Another belongs to an owner of soft drinks factory. Though I'm not sure if he still owns it. Last year he had serious financial problems, so maybe he sold the car.
I don't know who owns the third car.
There are also rumours of another Maybach, but noone confirmed seeing it actually. The owner is supposed to be a certain priest - director of a radio station and religious leader of all the catholic extremists in Poland.

why is your name hornyalex?? just wondering... :cool:

[hornyalex1]

In 1999 my then girlfriend and I were playing charades with some friends, and I had to mime the song "Horny." At the end, my team won, and my girlfriend conceded "OK Horny Alex, you won," hence "hornyalex1."

Of course people realise it's just a tarted up C-class and instead bought a C200 diesel, which if you come to think of it, it makes a lot more sense...

[ScionDriver]

I have seen two in this area, closer to downtown Chicago but yeah, I love the car.

[NicFromLA]

There are at least 20 in Los Angeles, maybe 100, maybe more. However, I see a lot more RR Phantoms on the street.

[h00t_h00t]

If by tarted up you mean given an entirely different engine, a chassis longer wider and stronger than the C-class, more luxury, higher quality materials and absolutly packed with technology. All of this and you can have your interior customised and custom coloured how you want.

Makes the C-class look like a 2CV in comparison.

That's between the 62 and 57 Maybach models though.
All the 57S models were bought before 3/4 of them were built.

In charisma it scores no better than the C-class in my opinion...;)

[Volvoman]

On the outside the C-class looks much nicer. Not so over the top. On the inside though. I would love if my lounge room was fitted with as much luxury as that car. So I don't see how you can compare a Maybach (nearly $1,000,000) and a C-class (beteen $54,000 - $160,000).

Does anyone actually own one in Australia though? I have no idea.

[Rockefella]

Not sure about New Jersey, but NYC has got to have at least 50.

[RazaBlade]

I think Simon Cowell has one.....

[adrenaline]

Hold on where are all thses numbers coming from? Just guesses i assume...

[hornyalex1]

I got my figures from the German magazine AutoBild, and they seem to be fairly well informed.

For those of you who understand German, see below:

Sarcasm was pouring out of my original post in spades...

[carbrochuretom]

Definatly plenty in New York, went away there in March...I saw loads. Actually I saw quite a few phantoms aswell, saw a white one... looked good!:)

[silverhawk]

ive seen a couple of mabachs in dubai on the roads & sat in one at a motorshow. in fact, i saw a disguised maybach when it was newly launched.

[Pando]

As far as I know there are two in Finland, and it's the same guy that owns them both.

[john14]

Apparently, 4 Maybachs are in Australia now. :D

[DesmoRob]

I've heard of a sighting in Canada, however I'm not sure of the actual numbers. My friend's dad who owns a chain of businesses across north america and canada wants to get a 62 in a couple of years. His reason for waiting is because he just bought an S500 4-matic and a Cayenne not too long ago.

[Volvoman]

Apparently, 4 Maybachs are in Australia now. :D

Do you know who owns them?

[bamboocha]

correction - Romania has 3 maybachs: 2x52 & 1x62 series

[6speed]

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have a cottage up near here, and I've seen them in a Maybach.

[john14]

Apparently, if you want to buy a new Maybach 62 in Australia, you have to pay more than 1 million dollars (Australian dollars). $1.2 Australian dollars is the Recommended Retail Price. :eek:

No. Sorry, I don't know man.

[ScionDriver]

I bet theres at least a couple hundred in the United States total. But I would bet there is probably 2 or 3 in the state of Indiana (Yeah it might be mid-America no where but they have an NFL and an NBA team and those athletes love their bling cars.)

As for Wisconsin my other place of residency, they have an NBA, an MLB and an NFL team so I bet there is probably another 2 or so up there.

[acemotorsport]

when i was going to buy my car (around this time last year) there was a maybach there and the owner payed his deposit on the car and then he past away before the car came to Australia

You were buying a car from Maybach Australia?

They are the only place you can order 1.

Or did you just get the Damelian sales speil (Car was ordered by Rik and like all his he will sell if there is a buyer afaik)?

[dydzi]

there are about 10 maybachs in my country, two of them in my city... black 62 i was publishing the pics once and 57S from about three days

they aren't owned by anybody who earned they money legally

[ribatejo69]

I know two in Portugal. the number 3 is waiting because I'm confused about the colours

[Lagonda]

There's one just around the corner here (a "short"). Belongs to some arrogant Dutch guy (my dad knows him from school). The royal family has a few Maybachs. And there are probably some companies who do wedding cars etc. who own one or two.

[Pando]

[F1_Master]

Well duh. You've got like 200 Bentleys and Rolls-Royces with 500 Ferraris to go with them too.:p :D

They've been trying to shift this thing for months, but no takers

How's that for a good example of 'accelerated depreciation' (a $580,000 loss in value after 90 kms!) :eek:

"Showroom condition WAS $1,280,000 (NEW PRICE) NOW $695,000. This Vehicle has only travlled 90km."

I've seen something similar in a Finnish car magazine where they're selling a "new" (they don't state the km's but its hardly more than a few hundred) McMerc for almost half the price for a new one. Bargain if you ask me.

your an idiot

really who needs a thread like this

[F1_Master]

Kudos to Mustang for pointing that out.

All the 57S Maybachs are sold, many before the owners even saw their own cars.

[maverickgoose]

There are quite a few Maybach here in India, Our CEO owns one here, i think they are pretty much selling to their pricing. So people still appreciate luxury with high cost.

[Triball]

In Russia it is more than such machines than 50

[pterps]

I have seen 5 Maybachs in Holland, took pics of all of them.

[Piacki_117]

Last time I went to Paris I saw 5 Maybach. 2 of them were french.

[drakkie]

Did you see the one of which the owner lives in Oostvoorne ?

[EDZEERAY]

there is alot of maybach in UAE ..more than hundred maybe

[john14]

I still do not know why the Maybach 62 costs more than a million dollars in Australia (the recommended retail price of a Maybach 62 is $1.15 million {Australian dollars} in Australia). I understand the Australian dollar is weak... For example, the exchange rate is $1 Australian approximately equals/= 0.60 euro(s), 0.75 American dollar(s), and 0.40 British pound... and I understand Australia has fairly high taxes for these imported cars (plus GST :D) but I thought the Maybach 62 price should have been well under a million Australian dollars.

Who knows?

P.S - the Rolls Royce Phantom LWB is over $1 million Australian as well. :D

[Cyco]

Australian LCT (luxury car tax) is the killer compared to world prices. 17% on every dollar over $49,000 (after import duties and GST has been levied).

Doesn't matter that much though, most of these expensive cars ($200,000+) are purchased through a business and this results in LCT being a "imputational tax credit".

[Mustang]

i personally know that dave, john, tony, mark, phil, mary, claud, and mr milky all have them...
