So.....fancy a 12 mth old Maybach.......hhhmmmmmm

[Parisien]

Car depreciation losers
1. Maybach 62 6.0 S (2003-)

Price new: £338,559
Predicted price after 12 months/10,000 miles: £187,250
Amount lost: £151,309 (44.7%)

Buying a Maybach is possibly the least extrovert way of proving your wealth. This is one car that would struggle to stand out in an empty car park and yet it comes with an eye-watering price tag of more than £330,000. But Maybach must be doing something right - both Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones of Dragons' Den fame own models, although they've opted for the more 'sensible' Maybach 57. But with depreciation working out at £415 a day, you'd need to be a huge fan of the Maybach to want one from new.

Emmmmmm........who or what can afford/want to loose £151K in 12 months?!

The same sort of person who looks at a Maybach and finds it attractive rather than going that looks like some giant overblown Toyota Avensis maybe?

 

[NickP]

That is nuts although I guess its tax deductable?

 

[Easyplan66]

I agree not worth 35k let alone 334k piece of junk

 

[nfm]

You lose far more (albeit not in % terms) if you buy a Veyron...........

 

[GransportFan1]

bloody hate the maybach, some chinsey sparly s class with wood trim from your grannies side board, hideous heap pf junk and tat.

 

[dem maser]

rolls phantom over the maybach....

I'm surprised at the responses above - we're on a forum for cars that many poeple dont like, cars that are different and set owners and enthusiast apart from the crowd. The Maybach is the same IMO. I like the looks of them in the right colours. I wouldnt ever buy new, even if i'd landed the £100m Euromillions, but still, I think they're classy, well made and are subtle enough for most people not to look twice at. Kind of a nice S class.

Mind, if I was after a car like that, I dont think (even used) they're worth the money over an S Class.

 

[dem maser]

with you on that woody that what i mean by i dont like them...i wont buy one...
they do the job very well..they comfortable and 1st class like BA business as cowell put it but...
i buy the phantom or the bentley arnage over it....

 

[GransportFan1]

wouldn't have a rolls phantom either, there is a rolls dealer not far from me and everytime i go paat, i think they get worse.

 

[dem maser]

bmw 7 series is the best for the money

 

[Parisien]

...theres a front page piece on these cars on MSN today............I think big Beemers....didnt escape lightly!!!!

[GransportFan1]

yeah it probably is dem, good car the 7 series.

 

[dem maser]

a 760 at 80k is the best to be driven in and to drive..not many do both..lovely on motorways....quiet...

 

[Dan!]

I lost my license in a 7 series in 2004, quick and quiet a deadly combination, but lovely cars none the less.

 

[dem maser]

i do like them...so quiet you dont know what your doing....

NO ....Shiiiiit car......

 

[Paco]

If I had to go for a barge that wasn't a QP, i.e. pushing up the luxury bit, I'd take the lwb XJ Jag over any of them. Failing that a "proper" Merc 600, you know the one I mean, good enough for Idi Amin etc etc

 

[dem maser]

i like the merc 600...nearly everything but the maybach

 

[Parisien]

Agreed...a real mass murderers car...sorry....a real mans car..........
