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.

Get a Hennessey Kick in the Asp for $39,900
One bite of an asp did in Cleopatra. Similarly, a turn behind the wheel of today's Viper may be enough for you to be bitten by its power, but will its price do it in? Not done-in maybe, but genuinely done to the nines, was yesterday's . Despite having some...

Make a Fat Redhead Your Cruel Mistress for $42,500
The Testarossa, once the wild-hair of Maranello's lineup, has become one of the most affordable ways to join the 12-cylinder Ferrari club. But with today's '87, would that club beat the crap out of you? The crap was certainly beaten out of yesterday's . That was likely due to the...

Your $8,995 Riviera Vacation Begins in Cleveland
Literally translated, Côte d'Azur means blue coast, but it's also known as the French Riviera. Today's Buick Riviera is also azure, and has so few miles it could easily coast for years to come. Phil Collins once sang that It's no fun being an illegal alien, and it's getting me...

2011 Jaguar XJ: First Drive
This is the 2011 Jaguar XJ. It looks nothing like the XJ that came before it, or the XJ that came before that. Its interior is a temple to the word "shiny." Is this what Jaguar needs to move forward? Full Disclosure: Jaguar flew me to Los Angeles and put...
