This 2004 Maybach 57 was ordered for the U.S. market and first registered in California, where it remained until 2025. Finished in Caspian Black Metallic (972) over Black Exclusive Leather (531), power is provided by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes Distronic adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a power sunroof with a solar module, rear entertainment screens, a rear refrigerator, and power-operated rear curtains. The seller acquired the car approximately two months ago and reports adding approximately 300 miles. The odometer currently shows 150,056 miles. The accompanying Carfax documents extensive Mercedes-Benz dealership servicing, including long-term care at Fletcher Jones Motorcars in Newport Beach, California. This Maybach 57 is now offered in Prospect, Kentucky with two keys, manufacturer’s literature, the photographed accessories, a Carfax report, and a clean Kentucky title in the seller’s name.
The 5.7-meter long body is finished in Caspian Black Metallic (972) and features chrome accents along the grille, window surrounds, and body moldings. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with washers, front fog lights, power-folding mirrors, a glass sunroof with a solar module, and a power-operated trunk lid. The seller reports no windshield chips or cracks. The Carfax lists an accident with an unknown date, and no additional details regarding the incident or related repairs are available. Detailed exterior photographs are provided in the gallery.
Factory 19-inch Maybach alloy wheels wear Continental PremiumContact tires measuring 275/50 at all four corners and carrying 2018 date codes. The seller reports the wheels are free of curb rash. The car features electronically controlled air suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with dual front calipers. Brake servicing is documented in the accompanying Carfax. The tire-pressure monitoring system is inoperative and displays a warning in the instrument cluster.
The cabin is trimmed in Black Exclusive Leather (531) with matching carpeting and extensive wood veneer across the dashboard, center console, steering wheel, door panels, and rear entertainment screen surrounds. Equipment includes heated and ventilated power-adjustable front and rear seats, multi-zone automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment, Distronic adaptive cruise control, rear entertainment screens, a rear refrigerator, power-operated rear curtains, and rear overhead auxiliary gauges. Manufacturer’s literature, telephone handsets, remotes, tools, and additional accessories are pictured in the gallery and included in the sale. The driver’s door soft-close function is inoperative and the seller reports that the remaining equipment functions properly apart from the previously noted TPMS.
The heated wood- and leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Digital displays provide outside temperature, gear selection, time, and trip information. The odometer shows 150,056 miles, with approximately 300 miles reportedly added during the seller’s two months of ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter M285 V12 was factory rated at 543 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax documents extensive servicing at Fletcher Jones Motorcars, including water-pump replacement in 2008, power-steering pump replacement and a fluid service in 2020, and replacement of the spark plugs and valve-cover gaskets alongside an oil and filter change in 2021. Additionally, belts, pulleys, and tensioners were replaced. Subsequent entries include oil and filter changes in 2022 and 2023, followed by a maintenance inspection in June 2024 at 148,028 miles. The most recent recorded service was performed in September 2026 and included battery replacement and an electrical-system check. Additional maintenance is detailed in the Carfax, and engine-bay and underside photographs are provided in the gallery.
The accompanying Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) documents extensive dealership service, including power-steering work in March 2020 at 139,483 miles with a pump, reservoir, hoses, belt, and fluid listed. A B-service and front brake-pad replacement followed at 140,793 miles, while spark plugs and multiple engine gaskets and seals were addressed in March 2021 at 143,375 miles. Subsequent maintenance includes an A-service in March 2022 at 145,260 miles, a B-service with oil, filters, and wiper blades in February 2023 at 146,823 miles, and replacement of the starter and electrical-system batteries in October 2023 at 147,145 miles. The latest entry records a Fletcher Jones Motorcars multipoint inspection in June 2024 at 148,028 miles.
The Carfax report shows seven owners, 67 service-history records, and registration history in California, Arizona, Oregon, Utah, and Kentucky. An accident is reported without a specific date, with Carfax placing the event between October 2004 and October 2005. No additional information about the incident is available. The most recent mileage entry records 149,634 miles in September 2026. Two keys, manufacturer’s literature, all photographed accessories, and a clean Kentucky title in the seller’s name accompany the sale.

The Maybach 57 belongs to a very particular moment in Mercedes history, when the company set out to build something that made even an exceptionally well-equipped S-Class feel ordinary. The appeal goes well beyond the V12. Look at the wood surrounding the rear screens, the overhead gauges for passengers, the leather extending through the cabin, and the sheer number of controls devoted to making four people comfortable. There is a sense of occasion here that contemporary luxury cars often try to achieve through screens and lighting. The Maybach delivers it through materials, space, and an almost excessive attention to detail. Caspian Black on black leather gives this example a particularly restrained appearance, while the service history provides useful context for its mileage. This is a Maybach that has been driven and repeatedly returned to Mercedes-Benz dealerships for attention, with 67 service entries documenting that history. The disclosed soft-close and TPMS faults remain items for the next owner to address, but the seller reports the other equipment is operational. For an enthusiast drawn to the original Maybach revival, this example offers the full experience with substantial documented use and maintenance behind it.

Just a heads up on the TPMS sensor lights, try to fill spare in the trunk to recommended pressure and reset. I bought my 62 last year in California and brought it back to Kentucky. We finally figured out the problem was the spare tire was low on pressure. Mine would read the pressures on the tires fine, but throw the TPMS senors light. Good luck on your sale and these are very special cars.@W112300SE No it does not sink. The air suspension is in perfect working order. Coils were replaced at Fletcher Jones Motorcars Newport Beach most recently at 121,122 miles.Does the car sink down on any corner when shut off? Have the coil packs been replaced with the updated part number?$18,500 bid placed by @ProdigalPetrolHead

@BD450SL Thank you for raising these questions. To clarify, I did not purchase the vehicle at Barrett-Jackson; that was a previous sale before I acquired it. After purchasing the car, I had it inspected by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Louisville as part of the Kentucky titling process and they documented the mileage there and sent me a title in the mail. Car currently has just over 150,000 miles at the moment. My Mercedes-Benz VMI records also document a warranty repair for an SBC control-unit electrical fault, with the repair order closed on November 5, 2018, at 127,363 miles. Also, the SBC system currently does operate without any faults. Mercedes does warranty the SBC units for 25 years/unlimited miles so there are a few years left on that coverage if it were to fail again.$10,250 bid placed by @handgemacht

Looks like it's been an amazing car as there is no real major failures. Most seams like just regular maintenance. Someone could more than afford this car to use it regularly and I am sure by notes they are big client. One call should secure info needed.Was this someone’s Daily Driver in Orange County? Fletcher Jones was sure sorry to see this one leave their area. They made out like a bandit servicing this thing. It looks great for the age and mileage. GLWTAThere must be a service advisor and master tech at Fletcher Jones that really knows a lot about this car.$5,000 bid placed by @ProdigalPetrolHead
I noticed that this vehicle, VIN WDBVF78J44A000379, was previously sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January 2025, where the mileage was reportedly classified as TMU (True Mileage Unknown). The current listing represents the vehicle as having approximately 150,000 miles, supported by its Carfax service history. Could the seller please clarify why the vehicle received the TMU designation at Barrett-Jackson and whether any documentation exists establishing the accuracy and continuity of the odometer readings? One additional question for the seller regarding the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system: Have either of the SBC hydraulic control units been replaced, rebuilt, or serviced during the vehicle's ownership history? If so, are there Mercedes-Benz service records documenting the work? Given the vehicle's mileage, I would also appreciate confirmation that the SBC system operates without warnings or stored fault codes and whether a recent Mercedes STAR/XENTRY diagnostic scan has been performed. Thank you.Very nice example and depending on the service dates this high-milage example may actually be better serviced than all the low-mile ZERO service history examples. These are very robust and well-built vehicles designed to accumulate big miles, but most rarely do. The best way to keep them running is to just keep them running.
