Feel Like a Royal: Blue Bird Selling Cars Used by King Salman
Jakarta. The Blue Bird Group, Indonesia's largest taxi operator, has found its own way to leverage last month's visit by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
Hery Sugiarto, general manager of the listed taxi operator, said the company is selling 25 Mercedes Benz E-250 luxury sedans the monarch and his entourage used during his visit to Indonesia.
Hery said it is not unusual for Blue Bird to sell some of its cars to the public, but what is special on this occasion, is that the company seeks to share some of the comfort enjoyed by the monarch and his entourage, which reportedly spent about Rp 300 billion ($22.5 million) just on their recent holiday in Bali.
"The 25 cars available for sale were used by King Salman's entourage. Buyers are guaranteed top-quality vehicles at affordable prices for such a class," Hery said.
When asked about the prices, the general manager said they start from Rp 450 million and that the vehicles can be acquired with down payments of Rp 110 million and monthly installments of Rp 4 million over 48 months.
The cars will be available for purchase at Blue Bird's taxi pool near Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport in East Jakarta from Monday (03/04) until April 13.
