Does it make sense? No.
Is it a gloriously luxurious, interesting, refined long-distance cruiser with few equals? Yes.
A chance offer with a huge discount from a friend meant this S600 Maybach joined the garage in November - quite unexpectedly. We weren’t looking for a new luxury car, but with the 750i in need of some attention, and the Rolls-Royce still in the collection, but not used daily - the Maybach actually made sense.
As the new luxury daily, the Maybach will be used to drive all over the country, and will be TheCarGuys’ new mobile office. It’s rammed with gadgets, incredibly comfortable, fun to drive, spacious and it’s going to be fantastic testing it to the limit over the next few years.
It’s also our first ever Mercedes.
