The Mercedes-Benz dealership in Kingston. The most expensive car brands in Jamaica fall under the Mercedes-Benz line.

Sloan Jackson, the general manager for Silver Star Motors, dealers for Mercedes-Benz, did not bat an eyelid as he quoted the price.

“This vehicle is $85 million to start, but if you bring $100 million, we can get you a superb package,” said Jackson.

For that much money, the buyer will get the Mercedes-Benz G65 Wagon, a three-ton military vehicle with a 621 hp V-12 engine and quilted leather.

And yes, there are takers, although Silver Star itself is yet to sell any.

“There are one or two on Jamaican roads but we didn’t bring them in,” Jackson said.

The Mercedes-Benz G65 Wagon was the priciest of luxury vehicles in Jamaica uncovered in a phone poll conducted by Gleaner Business.

There is a well-established market for luxury rides, but getting insurance for those really pricey vehicles is another matter altogether, especially the sporty models.
