are you seriously trying to compare the maybach and the century...woah, that is all i'm saying

Dude, Maybach has been around longer than TOYOTA. Look it up. They have been building luxury coaches since the 30s. Honestly, I love japanese cars, but if I'm rolling like a tremendous balla, it's going to be British or German.

Dude I'm comparing it to the Current maybach. The old machbach from the 30's were not exactly stretch limos as they did not exist back then.

If you were to give me a lesson about cars, you would also know, toyota made representative cars in the 1930's such as the Type AA

And, For your information, Mitsubishi started automobile production as early as the 1910's, most Japanese manufacturers began in this period, sure not as early as European manufacturers, (first Mercedes Maybach car made in 1901 - began production later on) just late a decade or two. Its worthwhile to note, that Firms such as toyota, mitsubishi, etc, were actually founded in the 1800's as engineering firms, so before you diss Japanese engineering history you should read up abit.

Nice...the amount of money that someone put into that is probably in the tens of thousands.

That's a standard car produced by Toyota... So the standard century being around $100k, i'd estimate the limo version somwhere towards $150k and VIP versions (government officials) towards $200k

Wow...didn't know that limos were even sold off the lot like that, I thought that they had to be made custom and then sold at a higher rate by a third party. Really interesting stuff though.
