You don't see too many of these driving around in the area....
 

One of the first Maybach's I've seen. It was stuck next to me in traffic so decided to take some pics from my camera phone. These go for what, 300-400K right? Some old black dude driving it around.

hmm are they really 300k?? i thought more like 150-200k but i could be wrong. anyway dude is real ghetto to be 'driving' it rather than being 'driven IN it'....

It's rare to find one of those stuck in traffic but there are some wealthy people around here. The best neck breaking cars I've seen on the local neighborhood roads was a MB SLR McLaren followed by an SL500/600.

Well I'm not sure what version the car was but I know they're pretty crazy priced.

I guess maybe the dude driving was a chaffeur? Was pretty tinted up to see who was in the back.

I did notice the rear seats are pretty damn big though. The rear window is huge.

I can only see part of the plates...did you happen to see if it was VA or MD plates. If they were VA, that guy and his 8yr old son goes to my barber shop near potomac mills. He parks it right out front for everyone to notice. He wont say what he does, he just says that he is an "entrepeneur" (spelling?).
His car has the fridge underneath the back seat and the pull out cart w/ champagne & glasses. When you pull out the glove compartment, the bottom are computer keys and a screen folds out.

As for the price, you can get them @ HBL in Tysons. I called and they are selling for 345 w/o driver and 375 w/ personal driver.

Check it out: I googled the Maybach and look at the Top 5 Competitors:

HAAHHAHAHA. Guess the car is just in a league of its own or overrated? There's a Pontiac!!

Depends on the model. If it is a 57/57S, then it's a driver's car. However, the 62 is designed to be a chauffeur's car.

I saw one outside of the Verizon center when I went to the last Wiz game.

I see one sometime on my way to work, over near 123.

Looks like the older MD plates.

The car is a rare one indeed but ugly to say the least. Thats more money than I would ever pay for a sedan lol. not even half that.

Thats funny how they sell it with the driver. I wonder what the restrictions are.
