If that's the kind of car they buy what does the house look like?

2800 sq ft mediterranean-style

How's the crime rate in the area? I give it 2 or 3 months before it gets vandalized.

1. I think they're keeping it in the garage

2. Very safe area

My thought exactly

Dude could have bought a second home or moved to a bigger one

But it's not my money to spend

Why compete?

My parents are happy with the cars they drive and our family has already agreed that in a few years, we'd like to buy a bigger house rather than a $400K car. So Cal housing bubble is going to burst soon and we'll buy a bigger house after that.

edit: I don't whose Maybach this is going to be (wife or husband) but they didn't exactly have awesome cars to begin with. Wife drives a Toyota Corolla wagon from 1994 or something and husband drives a Ford Excursion (I guess contractors have to lug around a lot of things)

 

[Pocatello]

Beautiful car.

 

[m2kewl]

hey - it's their money and if they can afford it, they can buy whatever they want.

that said, that maybach is not worth it. nothing screams old fart like a maybach. i'd drop that money into a Ferrari 360 spyder or hardtop

 

[cavemanmoron]

$315,000 +

 

[FreshPrince]

how is that car worth $300K+?!

it's very nice, but no where near that price....I wouldn't pay more than $150K for a car like that.

you friend must make over $1M/yr

that's what my thought was

I asked them how much it was (before I saw the sticker) and I was thinking maybe $170K and when they said to look at the sticker, I was amazed.

He builds huge apartment buildings and must get quite a lot of dough from it... he owns the company

That, and I think his relatives in India are quite wealthy too, so he had quite a start.

And I know it's not stolen because the car salesmen drove it home with them and showed them things about the car and stuff which he hadn't gone over at the dealership.

 

[MasterAndCommander]

Holy Cow! :Q

 

[Juice Box]

holy hell....that car is more focused on the PASSANGERS...not the driver
who the hell cares how fast you are going in the back seat?!

 

[Vich]

I personally think its fugly, a RR or a bentley would have been a much better and classier choice IMO.

I like it, but too much money

I'd rather get 3 Maserati Quattroportes

Or just 1 and save the money

First of all, let's start off with the pronunciation of the name:

It's MY-bok, not MAY-bok

And it's BACH (like the composer) not BOK

Nice pics, I only saw it in the dual-tone version till now; I like it better like this.
