Maybach Selling Existing Inventory with Huge Discounts

The idea that a big name in the luxury business has been killed off is slowly sinking in, even though we can’t yet believe that Maybach is being killed off yet. But parent company Daimler never managed to make a bit of profit since they relaunched the company in 2002, so a decade later it’s being left to rot away.
Against the best the British at Rolls Royce and Bentley had to offer, Maybach could never muster enough badge snobbery to justify its high prices.

Now that the company is on its deathbed, the existing stock of cars is being heavily discounted. Reports indicate rebates of up to $100,000 are being factored in by the luxury automaker’s dealers that have cars on their lots. That sort of money will get you a heated, soundproofed car garage and you’d still have enough for shaggy carpets.

Even if you factor in the full sum, the Mayback 62 would still cost from $327,700 and we wouldn’t want one for half that!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
