Mercedes-Maybach S-Class pricing announced starting at $167,000

Just a couple of weeks after unveiling the Mercedes-Maybach S600 and S500 at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2014, the German automaker has finally come up with the official pricing for the two uber-luxurious S-Class variants. As expected, owning a Maybach won’t be cheap, with a €134,053.50 ($167,000 approx) starting price in Germany for the S500. However, the good news is the entry ticket to the Maybach family now costs 46 percent cheaper than the previous incarnation of the Maybach, which started around $381,342. Scheduled to arrive in European markets from February 2015, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class models are available to order as of now.
