Recently, a millionaire in Binh Duong province made a lavish purchase of a Mercedes-AMG G63, a luxurious SUV. What makes this G63 even more unique is its license plate “8888” 61K-288.88, which was previously sold at an auction for a staggering 745 million VND (about $32,500).
According to research, the owner of this Mercedes-AMG G63 is a business couple who specializes in the food industry in Binh Duong. They acquired this luxury SUV in 2021 from a dealer specializing in used luxury cars in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, the market price for a used Mercedes-AMG G63 ranges from 6 to 11 billion VND (approximately $261,000 to $478,000), depending on factors such as the year of manufacture, vehicle condition, and location of sale.
