Have we talked about how cheap Maybach's are getting?

Yes... it's basically a SL600 Merc, but It's MSRP was $350K.... they are now everywhere for $50K ish...

Do you need to ball?  Big Pimpin?  Want to look like a dictator?

(yes this is an absurd exercise.. that's kind of the point.)

Wow, I'd kinda forgotten these existed. This'll be Cotton's next absurd depreciated German purchase

Is a driver included?

Still seems expensive to me!

In reply to dculberson :

Yep! Unless you're going to be driven around, an S Class from the same year seems like the better buy.

I feel like the only part of that car that is either cool or interesting is the back seat area and its accoutrements. And if you're gonna drive it, what's the point?

Oh I l’ve looked at them!  If they got in the 20s it would be hard to resist.  I’ve looked for a rough one,  but people seem to take better care of these.  Same basic drivetrain as the s600,  but the interiors are just incredible.

How the hell does Matthew McConaughey  drive himself around in that Lincoln?  I might be six chocolate stouts deep.

I'm tryna get me a Maybach. How you gonna tell me don't say that? 

So kind of along the same lines.  I’ve been poking around at some needy Bentley Continental GTs.  Also v12 twin turbo!  Not to mention Atlanta CL delivers once again.

Cheap Bentley!

Now that is the best bad idea that I have seen in a long time.  

A cheap Bentley is a waaayyyy more expensive pit than a cheap Porsche. Just check out parts prices and then imagine all the deferred maintenance!

I think I'd have to fight the ladies off if I bought something like that.  Ballin' on a budget.

Personaly bentley wise I would rather have the good old 6.75 v8 turbo.
