Maybach leads luxury segment... in depreciation
Filed under: Car Buying, BMW, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce
 Anybody want to buy a used Maybach? Hello? The idea may sound entirely preposterous - an anathema, even, to the brand's nouveau riche market - but it may be the best way to get your hands on Mercedes' super-lux big brother. Of course that's the positive way to look at it, but the flip side is that, as demonstrated by recently released statistics, Maybach has the highest depreciation rates of any car on the market. Over the course of the first year of ownership, a new Maybach 62S is assessed to lose a whopping $183k off its half-a-million-dollar sticker price. That's 39% off its purchase value in the span of a year, or roughly $500 every day. The Rolls-Royce Phantom, by comparison, loses "only" about $100k, or 24%. Slightly further down-market, things are even worse... by percentage, at least: a BMW 7 Series loses a tear-jerking 51%, and a Mercedes S-Class 47%. While depreciation is expected on a new car, this is bordering on depressing. [Source: Automotive News Europe - Sub.

Yeah, I'd need it to depreciate about 90% the first year before I'd be in the market for one.

Yeah, probably. I don't think I'll lose too much sleep over it . . .

Well thats good news for me. I'll be able to buy a good used 62 much sooner then I planned
 I wonder what the maintenance would be? Probably better then buying a ten year old Rolls Royce today would be considering how many Mercedes parts are on it.

Anybody want to buy a used Maybach? Screw the new ones, I want the OLD one in the back. I saw an original Maybach up close and personal at the Sinnsheim Auto Museum, along with Hirohito's 770K and man, I'd take them any day over the new ones...any day!
