For Just $8.6 Million, You Can Get a Mansion Along With Your Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Arnage
For Just $8.6 Million, You Can Get a Mansion Along With Your Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Arnage-October 2024

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but since coins and colored pieces of paper fund our lives for some reason, it’s always nice to spend less and get more. Take this $8.6-million Florida , whose seller is throwing in not one, but—clears throat for The Price Is Right voice—two not exactly new but very expensive cars!

Well, collectively they’re expensive. The whole thing is expensive, but that’s to be expected with a 12,000-square-foot home. The home, which I saw posted on as I scoured the internet for car blogs, has been for sale for nearly a year along with its buy-one-get-two-free cars.

The house has four bedrooms and eight and a half baths, perfect to prevent territorial fights among all five (five? you’re sure you counted five at the last holiday gathering) of your cousins’ children when they visit their wealthy distant family member, you, whom they see once a year but certainly love dearly.

It also has a grand staircase, which you can elegantly climb in your floor-length robe to look over the top of piles of money you had the help stack after they made you an omelette and a screwdriver for breakfast this morning. (To think, the world is so stressful, you have to start drinking as soon as you wake up!)

And, most importantly, the house comes with the cars we spoke of.

Those cars are the and , neither of which have model year listings or photos on the house’s page. It’s like buying a grab bag item for a bargain price online, not knowing if you’ll hate it or if it’ll even be worth the money! You thought that was only for the poors, but not anymore. You’re getting thrifty. Just wait until the next time someone says you’re too pompous for a good bargain deal. Just wait.

Anyway, the cars could be any version of the Arnage or Phantom, which is easier to grasp with the Arnage—it was starting in 1998, and there are plenty for sale in the $30,000 and $50,000 range. They’ll only casually ruin your life and any life you’d ever hoped for , if you make a normal income and can’t afford an $8.6-million house. If you can, you bought yourself a fixer upper. Thrifty and willing to take on a project. Nice.

The Phantom , so with that one, you could either get a $600,000 modern boxy chauffeur vehicle with illuminated “stars” across its headliner or you could get something that looks like it belongs in a museum. That’s probably the best grab-bag deal ever listed online, honestly.

Plus, just think about it: It’s one house with two cars included, like a much more expensive version of the coupons you take to the grocery store to get three tubs of ice cream for the price of one.

Sure, the idea of three for the price of one is simply a deception sellers use to prompt buyers to justify their continually frivolous purchasing decisions, but it certainly does feel good to get three for the price of one. Three for one basically makes this mansion a steal at a third of its price, right? Right.

Ignore the cars’ value in the equation to justify this one, of course. You can’t put a price on (expensive material items that give you fleeting and artificial feelings of) happiness, remember.

At $1,200, Is This 1991 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon the Winter Beater to Beat?
At $1,200, Is This 1991 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon the Winter Beater to Beat?
The seller of today’s Volvo claims his wife has laid down the law and demanded its sale, much to his protestations. Let’s see if he’s priced this turbo wagon to only meet the letter of that better half’s law. The other night I was watching The Big Lebowski for the...

This Willys Mechanical Mule is Your Perfect Haul All
This Willys Mechanical Mule is Your Perfect Haul All
Many things are described as utilitarian in nature, but few define the term quite as well as the Mechanical Mule. Nothing more than a flatbed trailer with a seat and a steering wheel, the M274 was used as a military stuff mover from its 1956 inception through the mid-1980s when...

The Truth Behind Chevrolet’s 'Real People' Claim That It's More Reliable Than Honda and Toyota
Chevrolet’s have gotten under the skin of TV watchers for years now, and even inspired that are almost as famous. Yet they soldier on, and in one recent spot, Chevrolet tries to convince “real people” that they may have made the wrong choice by purchasing a Honda, Toyota or Ford....

Here's Your Chance To Own A Honda City Turbo II and Motocompo
In the early 1980s, Honda made scrappy little cars and bikes like the City Turbo II, and fitted them with strangely useful options like a Motocompo scooter-in-the-trunk for daily commutes in densely populated areas of Japan. It was a creative way to get around city congestion by parking your City...

At $7,500, Could This 1969 Piaggio Vespa 150 With a Sidecar be Your New Sidekick?
At $7,500, Could This 1969 Piaggio Vespa 150 With a Sidecar be Your New Sidekick?
The seller of today’s Vespa says it’s “Nothing but ITALIAN COOL!” We’ll be the judge of that, and of course, of its asking price. With a price tag of a mere $1,200, the we looked at last Friday seemed for many of you aggressively, if not foolishly priced. The rub...
