The Biggest Cash-Back Rebate Ever
April 26, 2012
In what has to be the biggest car incentive in history, Mercedes is providing a $100,000 cash-back rebate on the Maybach ultra-luxury sedan.
But even with $100,000 off the sticker price, you're still looking at $276,300 for the Type 57 and $327,700 for the Type 62 model.
Mercedes will be discontinuing the Maybach brand in 2013 due to poor sales. The company lost $500,000 on each and every model it sold, so it's no wonder they're getting rid of it.
For those that don't have the budget for a Maybach, here are other vehicles currently offering the largest cash-back rebates:
