Not to mention the huge bulge where the top sits inhibits ANY rearward view...1.5 mil is a bit steep IMO...

Well, that would give my rap videos much more panache than my w123.

It's your lucky day. I talked to my manager. He says you can have it for 1.45 mil and we'll throw in the undercoating for free.

That car's been listed forever, someone posted the link months ago. I guess there aren't many folks shopping in that price range. I'm temped to drive up there just to see it in person.

For that $ and only 2wd.

Rear seat legroom looks like business class, not first class.

White ??

Especially considering that the landaulets normally list for around $1.3. In that respect yes it's definitely overpriced.
Another way to look at it is that the Maybach 62 that it's based on can be bought for under $400,000...so again, overpriced.

I suppose the extra price might be in the details and the materials used (Paintwork, granite trim and probably the best leather money can buy) Also getting that convertible roof to work probably took a decent amount of R & D.


I'm also wondering about inflation as well..... the old 600 landaulets were so expensive that supposedly they never even had a list price. In the mid 90s the Mclaren F1 was the worlds only million dollar super car....now there are over a dozen out there. $1,000,000 doesn't buy as much as it used to.


Either way given the choice I would take a normal 62 but I think the landaulet is gorgeous....particularly the interior.

Meh, for that price I'd rather have approximately 750 decent-shape w123s and w126s

haha that would be $2,000 a piece.... set your price to $10,000-$20,000 and get some well sorted examples
