i am in awe of that machine.
 
i wonder if the acceptance of only my driver's license would be enough to "test drive" it, or would they want proof of insurance and call my bank to make sure that my balance was nine digits to the left of the decimal?

Just dress up but don't over dress; why not look at testing a previously owned?
 
Still not sure why a few on Ebay are lemon law buy backs. Not a good sign. So, how far down in price will they go before it makes sense to buy and keep? Kind of like a seventies 600 SWB. There was a moment when they were a good deal. But, then there's the servicing, those pesky hydraulic shocks..........so what are, or will be the issues with the Maybach? If the navigation system seems to be a problem, does that influence other mechanical components within the car? I can live without a map, I can't live with goofy electrical problems.

when you suggested previously owned and ebay i spent an hour searching the net for an ebay auction or previously owned EXELERO's and did not find one (i really didn't think i would...). then i remembered that approximately a mile and a quarter from where i live is FLETCHER JONES MOTOR CARS, INC., "the nations #1 mercedes - maybach dealership". heck, i could have jumped in my vehicle wearing my jeans and tee, driven over and asked them...
 
 i've noticed the "regular" maybach re-sale value has made them more affordable.

i haven't read anything about problems with the hydraulic shock system on the maybach.
 
i thought with the wide wheel base, the large tires, hydraulic shocks and being so low to the ground (citroen sm and ds, mercedes 450sel 6.9) that it would be an xlnt ride (the luxury lowrider)...

I was referring to the hydraulics on the older Mercedes 600's. Talk about a pain. I was referring to when would be a good time to buy a Maybach given the discount. The only problem I've read concerning the Maybach's is the GPS system. That seems to be why many are being returned. A few on Ebay are referred to as "Mfg's buy back", or perhaps lemon laws??

Exelero? Hmmm, I guess I'm totally out of the loop, never heard of one.

THIS is what i meant by "in awe of this machine"...
