I drove a Silver Shadow 1 for 5 years daily, and as a cinematographer Rebekah Royce even went on wildlife safaris, at all times dignified and never ceased to proceed...plus she could smoke her rear tyres when she lifted her skirt! That though, was a 'real' Rolls-Royce, unlike modern plastic BMW renditions.
I know someone who bought brand new in 2001 a 51 plate mercedes CL55AMG which was £90 odd grand he still has it today as he says he can't cope with the thought it's not even worth £5 grand as it's done around 180,000 miles he still uses as a Sunday car he replaced it with a 68plate E400 V6 diesel AMG-line that nearly 20 years later new cost less than the 55 AMG at over £60,000 .
Lmao … that’s awesome, because of clueless clowns like yourself , those cars depreciate 90% and so I, and others like me , can enjoy and have fun owning them … keep up with a good work buddy lol
In the Maybach I'd only want to be driven. In the Merc, BMW or Lexus I'd be 50/50 and in the Wraith the back seats are for kids. I'd take the Lexus, but only because it's got all the luxury I'd ever need at a fraction of the ownership costs, it's not the top tier of luxury but rather the peak of the curve before diminishing returns.
@@lecontestover3289 LC500 is my dream car...which I'm seriously considering buying this year. I would ask what it's like, but I've owned 3 Lexuses and driven that engine before (RCF test drive last year) so I know how nice both your cars are and I'm jealous 😄
Love your content, look forward to see how the Alfa restoration goes, think that would compliment your normal videos. Can we see the best cars for the least depreciation at an affordable price? Caterham 7 comes to mind. Including maintenance.
Driver or chauffeured? When I was relatively young many years ago, I had a chauffeur-driven Ford Scorpio. Once we stopped at traffic lights next to a self driven RR; I felt quite smug 😂
I bought a 2023 CLS450 new and it is a better driver than my super luxury 1984 RR sedan. Know thyself. We aren’t all consumers of Rolling Living Rooms that wallow down the road “Don’t Do this to Me !” - my RR at 70 mph
Wouldn't touch the Mercedes with a barge pole as they are so unreliable. Bentley if it needs anything done you have to remove the engine which is £2K a go. Lexus is definitely a serious proposition. 30mpg and misses congestion charging - and 4WD At £5 -10 K you have pretty much nothing to lose.
Buying a car is cheap. Maintaining and Repairing is expensive. (very expensive in reality) Where can you hire a good expensive car for a week month/ 6 months etc. at reasonable cost. Nice video by the way.
Where did you get the Wraith sticker price from? The base model was $295k (232k GBP) , add a few options and it comes to $350k (276k GBP) easily. This was more expensive than the ghost.
With any very expensive car, every thing will cost you more, insurance, tax, servicing, parts, tyres, fuel not too mention the problem with parking these vehicles in parking bays. Most of them won,t fit and can you imagine driving up a multi storey car park.
Thank you for being you lying out what value the auto market goes up and down young people die don’t want some of the motor vehicles that has been restored old guys like myself to see this all the time. What is common in America? Is that you have high milage cars that in other countries would be given away or left on the side of the road Getting the youth involved with historical motor vehicles is the most important and seeing that they maintain and belong in museums regards Al from down under who loves his autos and a garage queen in the garage
Listen guys the normal punters for these cars are loaded and they spend because they can And they don't keep their cars for long as they get bored quickly esp when £ is not a issue
How about telling us something about the metallic Orange car in the thumbnail. And I haven't heard anyone speaking about money in pounds in years, so I had to Google the conversion to dollars continually doing math in my head while listening to someone speak at twice the speed that's normal. Too tedious and not worth going to settings to reduce the speed, I'm out.
What is the point of that dinging bell in the background? I started to search my house for the culprit and here it was background noise in the video. Not very professional...

That Mqybach brakes alone costs in dollars 13k.....honestly running cost of that RR..will look like a camry compared to that maybach
They don't 💀

Extended warranty is an option
Oil line for a rolls is 11k oem is 10k keep trying
@@lvs8395 Extended warranty is a scam for poor people. They wouldn't offer them if they didn't profit from them...
Surprised we didn't see a Flying Spur, those things are bargains right now.
4:29 I had one like this, cashmere silver with beige dash. Fond memories. Maybe the best car I ever had. F01 740d. Tuned to 365 hp.
Always happy to catch your (well thought out & edited) videos. Thanks.
Appreciate the kind words!
Keep up the great work!

that v 6 is a cracking engine
Would like to see 75k added to the range, 100k, 75k, 50k, 25k then whatever afterwards
Don't buy a old luxury car, the status symbol is long gone in a old pos and the repair costs will ruin you.

rolls all the way for me- they're gorgeous, quick and very luxurious
The older the Rolls-Royce the better

I agree! I have a LS 460, old but bulletproof, and a LC 500 convertible! All I need. ✌🏾

Imagine a car looseing 90% of it's value and it will still set you back 30k 2nd hand
How can you not have Bentley in
This is great news! My dream car the RR Wraith is now within reach
Bro.. how do you miss the Mercedes S600 Maybach, Bentley Continental GT, Bentley Flying Spur, and RR Ghost Gen 1
That Maybach is fugly! Who the hell bought one of those!

Smug is allowed in that case.
Followed by a very gentle nod and a smile, letting them know how smug you really are 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just because you can buy it doesn't mean you can afford it. some repairs migt cost 1-4months of your monthly salary depending on your income
What about full coverage?

Insane value until you have an issue and need OEM parts and labour

Its not may back guys its my bach 😊
Sorry? Does your back ache?
I recommend a chiropractor…
Can you make an updated version of this video?
Subbed fella . 👍
Suprised the Jag XJ never made the cut .
I'd rather drive a luxury car myself mate, thanks for asking me on this video xDDDD
Think the Bentely Mulsanne would be a better choice than the Maybach.

How’s your POS Alfa going?
The upkeep cost more than the car is actually worth
Until you have to fix it !
🤣

2016 Jaguar XJ autobiography (around 16-22k)
Base model Maybach 57s was approx 280-288k GBP, where you getting your prices from?
WOW.
good video
You confuse the Maybach 57, whose prices you quote, with the MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, MUCh loNGER, Maybach 62.
Wife ? 🎉🎉 you’ve done well young’en

Hope you don't hit any potholes in that Rolls with those ridiculously large wheels and tiny side walls.
BMW 760 for me

just get a toyota and avoid all the headaches ,no one gives a fuck if your car costs as much as a house
As much as your house I guess ? Some of these are just cool looking, RR Wraith for example ❤
You just don’t get it, do you…
