The Journey of Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic in Phan Thanh’s Garage

Phan Thanh, a renowned supercar enthusiast in his late 80s, is highly regarded alongside his peers such as Cuong “Dollar” and Minh “Plastic”. Several years ago, he made headlines by acquiring three supercars within a month. However, since setting that record, both Phan Thanh and Phan Hoang have remained silent about their car purchases. This is why the purchase of the lavish Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic in 2018 by Phan Thanh caught the attention of car enthusiasts in Vietnam.

When Phan Thanh acquired the Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic in 2018, he chose the official dealership and paid over 8 billion VND, which is equivalent to the amount he spent to obtain the first-ever BMW i8 sports car in Vietnam.

Now, after nearly 5 years since owning the Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic, car enthusiasts are curious about the fate of the vehicle. Has Phan Thanh continued to use it, or has he sold it to make room for new cars in his garage?

What Happened to Phan Thanh’s Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic After 5 Years?

Despite the excitement of owning a car worth over 7 billion VND, it is possible that the Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic, purchased in 2018, is no longer present in the Phan family’s garage with the license plate 51G-675.55. It is believed that Phan Hoang’s elder brother sold the car.

Specifically, on the afternoon of February 7, 2023, many car dealers surprised netizens by posting the sale of Phan Thanh’s Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic, accompanied by confirmation that the car previously belonged to him. The posted images were taken in the garage of the Phan Hoang siblings’ family.

The images shared by the person selling the Mercedes-Maybach S450 4Matic with the license plate 51G-675.55 revealed that the car has covered a distance of 31,102 km. This means that, on average, Phan Thanh drove this car nearly 7,000 km per year (from September 2018 to February 2023).

The two rear seats can be reclined up to 43.5 degrees and come with calf rests, memory positions, and massage functions. The interior trim of the Mercedes-Maybach S450 is adorned with specialized Designo wood, which is also used in making pianos. Between the two business-class seats, passengers can find items such as silver champagne flutes crafted by Robbe & Berking, a meticulously designed cup holder, an 8.5-liter refrigerator, a folding table, and an entertainment system with a Blu-ray player.
