INVOICE: 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe
WHAT price perfection von Rolls-Royce?
The sky truly is the limit.
But as a reference in relation to terra firma, the infinitely customizable 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe does have a starting point: $400,000 in these United States.
That said, the electronic-fob that passed this writer’s hand started a coupe deliverable for a cheque that would’ve read: $441,000 and 0/100.
This significant price variance – amounting to the price of a previously pampered mid-90′s Silver Spur or, if you prefer beaten-to-death clichés, the tag on a year-old Boxster – is due to the inclusion of several options.
Imaged below are scanned copies of the Phantom Coupe’s window sticker invoices which should provide some ignoble illumination into the monetary affairs of current bespoke perfecting. One item, the LED starlit headliner, is $12,100 (or a fix’er-up’er 70′s Silver Shadow, if we must).
So, what price perfection?
J.P. Morgan, I’m sure, would himself be curious to know.

I do think it is rich (sorry) that Rolls is charging the buyer $425.00 for placing the company’s logo on the vehicle.
That being said, if sufficient resources should suddenly appear in the checking account that I could stimulate the world economy by placing the Phantom Coupe in the garage at Notre Place près de la Plage, I would opt for a bespoke model and not buy it off the showroom floor.

You’re right, Jim. Buying an almost new Phantom anything on eBay and saving $50K kind of robs the majesty of the moment.

Interesting that the estimated fuel costs are based on $4.30 /gallon.
