Maybach made 150 for the world and 30 for the US Market. MSRP $419,650 as mentioned. Comparably, the black and tan Maybach S680 that bares his name \"The Virgil\" edition, had an MSRP of $347,750. That car was also one of 150 for the world, 30 for the US. I have one of those as well and I can tell you that the \"Haute Voitre\" is waaaaaaay more special and impressive than the actual Virgil. The Virgil is just a Maybach S680 in special black and tan colors with Tan Piano Wood. The \"Haute Voitre\" is has White Piano wood, special fabrics, special seats, special digital menus, special rose gold trim, special colors, a full leather lined truck, special stereo, etc etc ALL completely unique to this package that you cannot get on another Maybach. It was super expensive to begin with, yes, but it is by far the most exclusive and impressive Luxury Car that I have ever seen, been in, owned etc and i've been in every modern Rolls, Bentley, Bugatti, Pagani, etc etc. In my opinion, nothing comes close to the Haute Voitre Interior. Its truly like an old, proper coach built car and for the price I am willing to sell this car for, its an incredible bargain, compared to the cost of a \"Virgil\". Those cars, again, cost less $70,000+ less than this Haute Voitre new, but trade on the secondary market for $600,000+. I've seen several actually sell for over $800,000. Now, why sell this and not the Virgil that I have you ask....well, great question, reason is, I am restricted by Maybach to keep my Virgil another year. This car's restriction period just expired for me and I can sell it. ANNNND, I can't afford to keep everything. I have a few other special cars coming and something has to go. Genuinely sad to see this one go. ITs incredible! I encourage anyone that is serious about it to contact me and come see it in person. It just breathtaking.

Assuming you are not a real buyer for the car, I can only imagine that your reason for being here and posting questions and comments on my car\u2019s listing is that you feel you are providing some positive service for the @BaT community? I\u2019m not really sure, however, I can tell you that nearly all of your questions have been asked and answered already in my posts. Further, if you were actually here to purchase the car, and you really do live in Kansas City where the car is located, I would think that you would have reached out to me privately before now to actually come and look at the car in person, (Which I have invited anyone to do) prior to the very last day of bidding. The car has been live for 6+ days and you wait until the last day to raise \u201calready answered questions\u201d and presumptively negative comments that have nothing to do with you actually wanting to purchase the car.\r\n\r\nAll that being said, I will address and in most cases \u201cre-address\u201d each and every one of your comments with the corresponding numbers that you have lined out below:\r\n\r\n1)\tTitle: I don\u2019t think anyone posts the titles for their cars on @Bat due to many reasons, the biggest one being fraud. *Scammers take pictures of titles for cars they do not own, and photoshop information on them and try to get people to wire them $. Its also a privacy thing as titles usually have personal information and addresses that most people don\u2019t want shared live on the internet.\r\n2)\tThere was no service in Florida. However, as you can see from the pictures of the black and tan \u201cVirgil\u201d that I just posted in front of my home in Kansas, and as mentioned previously, I have 2 of these. One \u201cVirgil\u201d and one \u201cHaute Voitre\u201d. (This is why I can honestly say the \"Haute Voitre\" is a much nicer and Far More Special Car than the Virgil, but I have had the Virgil longer, it has a lot more miles on it and for many reasons, sad as it may be, I decided to sell the Haute Voitre first). I took delivery of both at my home in Kansas. The Virgil is still here. I also have a home in Florida. I shipped the \u201cHaute Voitre\u201d to FL for the winter late last year. Since I could not be there to accept delivery of the car in person as I was still back at my primary home in Kansas, I had my friends at \u201cPrestige Imports/Lamborghini Miami\u201d take delivery of the car and store it at their dealership for several weeks until I was able to get down there and drive it myself. Prestige is the factory authorized Lamborghini Dealership in Miami, plus Pagani, Lotus and other brands. They have an amazing pre-owned showroom as well with Bugatti\u2019s, Paganis, Koenigsegg\u2019s, Rolls-Royce, Bentleys, Ferraris and more so I felt the car was right at home. While it was there, they, my friend who is the used car manager called and said he may have a potential client who would like to buy the car for \u201csubstantially over MSRP\u201d. He asked to show the car to that customer. I agreed. During that time they brought the car into their inventory on a short term \u201cconsignment\u201d basis as they worked the deal and I am sure that whatever \u201cService\u201d you are seeing in Florida is simply them doing their normal \u201cNew Inventory Take In Process and Inspection\u201d. Turns out the \u201cprospective client\u201d they had on the car was an NBA player who was ultimately traded to a different team and moved shortly after he looked at the car and for whatever reason, he decided not to buy it. So I took the car off consignment. I drove the car to lunch and dinner I think twice (obviously not many miles, I think each tripe was less than 10 miles ) and then I shipped the car back to Kansas City recently before listing here on @Bat.\r\n3)\tRegarding \u201cDelivery in MO\u201d, do you mean when I bought the car new? That question was asked and answered, one of my best friends was the GM of Mercedes-Benz Arlington at the time I purchased the car new last year and I chose to send the car to him. Friends do friends favors with regards to allocation and delivery of cars etc and since this was a VIP allocation, it was sort of like a \u201cbonus\u201d to him to have it delivered through his story. I have taken delivery of several \u201cVIP Allocations through the local Kansas City Dealership\u2019s as well, one was a 2024 G63 Grand Edition just last week.\u201d Not sure what that has to do with the sale here, but you now have your answer. For the second time.\r\n4)\t\u201cWheel Blemish?\u201d Not sure what you are talking about, but to the best of my knowledge there are no \u201cWheel Blemishes\u201d of any kind nor blemishes on the car itself of any kind. Not sure what you are talking about, all 4 wheels are pictured here and I see no blemishes.\r\n5)\t\u201cDon\u2019t want to put miles on it, but delivered in TX?\u201d I don\u2019t understand what this questions means either, its been clearly stated now several times why the car delivered new through a dealer in Texas and that has nothing to do with putting additional miles on the car. It was delivered to the dealership there on an enclosed transporter as all new Maybach\u2019s are, then transported to me in Kansas City on an enclosed Transporter as well.\r\n6)\tI have no idea what this comment means. I have no relationship with any of the bidders you referenced, and their bids are a long way from the reserve so I don\u2019t see what that has to do with anything. \r\n\r\n*Seems to me that you are aggressively looking for some sort of negative information about me or my car in an effort to have a \u201cGotcha\u201d moment. Not sure why, but I've been as transparent as I possibly can about this car and my time with it. Again, if you are local, why not come see the car in person, meet me, see the title, etc etc. Then you could come on here with some real, concrete information and even opinions. Hey, for all I care, you could have met me, came back to @Bat and said, \u201cI met him, He\u2019s a Jerk, the car is a POS, stay away etc\u201d and that would all be fair game. However, alleging that \u201cSomething doesn\u2019t make sense here\u201d is not a fair comment since you have done no real research, invested no real time, have not seen the car in person, have not met me, etc. In fact, you clearly have not even read the entire auction posting nor my comments as mentioned several times, nearly all of your questions have already been asked and answered.\r\n\r\n***Finally, I get it, you don\u2019t like my pictures.
