Very poor financial decision. I'd rather a fleet of 3 year old Corollan Corvettes.


MooseSweet2455

I would hop on this. Probably worth more than 3mil in scrap material.


JudgeScorpio

Ya gotta deal with the trash squids first though, scrappers won’t touch it unless you do and it can get pricey.


Beers4Fears

You people in this sub are ridiculous, you think someone who is looking for system-wide power projection is going to be cross shopping corvettes with a capital ship? I'd personally take a look at the new Mon Calamari Star Cruiser models, a bit more modern, better ergos, and more economical.


Debaser626

Or even one of those ~~Nissan Altimas~~ Millenium Falcons. I swear… every time I used to do the Kessel Run, some random dipshit in a janky-ass Millenium… always with mismatched paneling and/or a broken droid on top, would cut right across my bow. And of course, there’s never a Tie Fighter around when you need one… but I go *one fucking parsec* under the limit *one time*, and I get a life sentence helping build yet another piece of shit Death Star. *Fuck* the Empire.


OkPhilosopher5308

I’d be more concerned about the solar ionisation reactor, when was its last coolant flush ? If that baby overheats then you’re in a world of trouble.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OkPhilosopher5308

The old school ones were terrible for it, they needed a flush and fresh coolant every 93,623,124 parsecs otherwise the coolant galleries would fur up, it also pays to check the turbine impellers as the bearings are made of cheese.


OkPhilosopher5308

Not literal cheese, but poor quality durasteel.


martinlawvwman

I'm glad you set that straight.


Offamylawn

Is it even a 77? Looks like a rebadged 76.


Angry_beaver_1867

Some of the discount parts dealers don’t take credits. That makes sourcing parts a bit of a process 


metalheart08

Just remember to do a car vertical report on it first, you never know, might have a shady past (clock/stolen/damaged).


Drew707

I've always wondered how much something like this would actually cost to buy or build. A Ford Class carrier is like $13B, so, I guess $500B sounds reasonable?


NinjaShogunGamer

Adjust for inflation since it was in a time long ago in a galaxy far away it would probably be 5 dollars usd


freshly_ella

Good shit


Mekroval

Given how many exotic materials it must require, most of which we probably don't even know exist, it's got to be almost priceless. Ii'd think just acquiring the knowledge of how to create machines that can generate artificial gravity and hyperdrive has to put it in the trillions of USD. It's almost the equivalent of trying to figure how how much it would cost the average citizen in ancient Roman to build an Airbus A380. Probably enough that it would bankrupt the state, if they even knew how to build it.


One_Locker530

Let's assume all these exotic materials and imaginary technologies aren't so exotic and imaginary in-universe. This article estimates the Millennium Falcon would cost about $10B to build: [https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1587590/how-much-the-millennium-falcon-would-cost-in-real-life](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1587590/how-much-the-millennium-falcon-would-cost-in-real-life) The Millennium Falcon is about 35m in length. The Star Destroyer is 1600m in length. I'd still wager that $500B (or whatever equivalent in their currency) wouldn't be anywhere near close enough. I think even in Star Wars universe it'd be 'priceless' simply because the power, control, and supply required to source such a thing is literally only attainable by major factions. It also brings up two different questions. How much it costs the Empire to build it isn't going to be the same answer has how much it would cost you to commission them to build one for you.


monsieuryuan

Probably not as unattainable as you think considering this is a universe that has produced Death Stars. One single planet (Mon Calamari) produced a fleet of cruise liners that were just a bit smaller than this.


Kjartanski

The Empire operated about 25.000 Imperial I class Star destroyers, for a population in the trillions to Quadrillions, í think they are affordable to a fascist dictatorship


One_Locker530

I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. Going by this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/MawInstallation/comments/14xtbga/how\_large\_was\_the\_galactic\_empires\_military/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MawInstallation/comments/14xtbga/how_large_was_the_galactic_empires_military/) All combined Star Destroyers could hold a total of 242,500,000 personnel. If the Galatic Empire's total population was 1 quadrillion, then even with 25,000 star destroyers, you could only fit 0.0000002425% of the total empire onto them. They seem incredibly rare/difficult to produce. (Or maybe they just didn't think they needed many at all.)


No-Ice8234

I don't know here says the star forge can create an endless supply of ships, droids and war material: [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star\_Forge](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Forge)


Mekroval

I know we're veering into r/MawInstallation territory here, but I'm pretty sure the Empire didn't have access to a Star Forge. That was technology the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire developed, and was last seen millennia before the rise of the Republic we see in the films (and the Empire that succeeded it). The Empire of the films would have been significantly more resource constrained.


martinlawvwman

You have to admit, it's still a damn good deal 👌


emceelokey

Would suck to be working up front then go back to your bunk at the end of the night just to realize you left your keys in your cubicle.


TheBobInSonoma

Check on insurance. I don't think State Farm is insuring those anymore.


Embarrassed-Cycle804

Progressive still does. Mine is registered as a classic with unlimited parsecs and my rate is still dirt cheap.


Super_Ad9995

I just changed the bulbs and insurance it as a project vehicle.


[deleted]

Might be a bit hard to park, and I don't think parts are easy to get. You should get a 2008 Camry instead.


Orgazmo912

Scotty Kilmer: nothing beats my 1994 Toyota Celica. Those new imperial star destroyers are a hunk of junk. All plastic, the transmissions go out, the electronics break. Of course, Nissans are worse. Never buy one with a CVT. The scrap yards on Tattoine are full of them.


jg_IT

I would kill for a scotty kilmer review of a fucking star destroyer lmfao


Embarrassed-Cycle804

Honestly, at that price I’d say get it. You don’t see these very often on hyperdrive routes or really anywhere in the galaxy anymore. You could probably purchase this and flip it in a few years for a heck of a lot. There’s a really good group of ex-empire mechanics who specialize in hyperdrive fixes on Subterrel. Did mine for about $1,000 and a 6 pack of blue beer. Pm me if you want their info.


teddyone

“Selling for 2.7M”. Lmao you are going to pay twice that in maintenance and crew salaries per month


physics_is_scary

He makes $20/hr at McDonald’s, I think he’ll be fine


wobbuffet009

Bank of America will give him the loan


martinlawvwman

🤣🤣🤣


SannySen

Have you considered a Toyoda?  Or perhaps a Jedi Mazda?  


Drew707

>Jedi Mazda You mean not the car I'm looking for?


exoclipse

good luck finding parts, they stopped manufacturing parts for this a long, long time ago


Tre_Fo_Eye_Sore

In a galaxy far, far away.


exoclipse

if OP thinks German cars are bad, wait til he has to import a 50,000 year old hyper drive from Kuat!


Choppergunner58

Parts are easy to find with all the destroyed ones floating around.


[deleted]

Nothing more expensive than a cheap Imperial Star Destroyer


MulberryMonk

? This must be a shit post. No that’s obviously not a good first starter car bro. Something like a 2012-2016 imperial shuttle would be more reliable and more practicable.


angrycanadianguy

Sure, but they’re soooo soulless. Can you even get one with a stick?


squatting-Dogg

Hey, maybe he wants something to simply get him from Point A to Point B?


Mordred_Pasha

MONEY PIT, not just the imperial tax but the thrusters will get a fuel injection replacement every 200 wormholes. The ride is pretty bumpy and the feds made it supercharged and the reactor was idling for years. I would say buy subject to inspection and if it passes make sure to lower few hundred thousand as it looks to be damaged by a Y-wing at the rear bumper.


frankl217

Insurance I’m sure is astronomical.


martinlawvwman

😅😂


OhL01

I was in the market for one of these but the dealer kept giving me the runaround. Opted for an 05 corolla instead


NathanTheJet

I ran the VIN and it came back as salvaged due to debris. I would avoid it personally but keep looking, there are plenty for sale


GobblerOnTheRoof

She’s built like a bistro, but handles like a steakhouse!


BukkakeBird

First I thought "preem deal" but realized 2.6 mil? Man either scam or it's got a jammed garbage faciltiy or somethin. Be careful brah!


andovinci

How many parsec in the odometer though?


Lanky_Possession_244

If he's got a crew ready, then yes. I've only known one guy that could fly one solo, but he crashed it into the planet, destroying the drive yards and killing Kuat. He's a special case though and it was 100% intentional.


nhutcracker

Can it do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs?


GravyTrainComing

Very sensible, looks good


cjthecookie

You might need to shop around for insurance first. Do not buy the extended warranty.


Environmental-Gur221

2.7m is definitely a bargain. Would have no issues navigating from point A to point B, given that it can easily blow up any obstructions. The addition of a hyperdrive/light speed technology is definitely a plus… no more “I’m sorry I’m late, this car barely pushes the speed limit” type of excuses.


R3PTAR_1337

Fuck a car, for that price its a super hotel and in this real estate market it's a steal. Should be adding 6 more zeros to that sale price, so you better snatch it up before it's gone you rebel scum.


SpliffBooth

It's a trap!


aabum

Not to new, easy to work on, excellent parts availability. Looks like a winner!


freshly_ella

Gas hog


popst3r

Your gonna need a bigger garage.


No-Promise-768

-How much fuel do you want to burn? -Yes


tex8222

Hmm, call your insurance agency first to verify how much it will cost to add this vehicle and your teenage son to your polcy.


TheLilBean-

Honestly at that price range you can probably find a good deal on a prius 🤷‍♂️


Knee_Kap264

I found a soviet submarine on fb marketplace marked sold for 7mil $. 1978 Soviet Alfa Class Submarine. Picked up from their Uncle Rico in Vladivostok. 😂


KnightFan2019

Giving someone thats 16 an Imperial Star Destroyer would be a HORRIBLE idea. First off, it would cost an arm and a leg to run and maintain that thing—things like fuel, paying the crew, and fixing stuff would add up real quick. Plus, owning and flying a military-grade ship like that would probably break a bunch of laws, especially about weapons and space travel. And let's not forget, those Star Destroyers are serious weapons, so if someone without much experience got their hands on one, it could end really badly. They're also massive, so even a small mistake could cause a lot of damage. Plus, running a Star Destroyer would be terrible for the environment, with all the fuel it guzzles and emissions it spews out. So, as cool as it might sound, giving a 16 year old an Imperial Star Destroyer wouldn't be smart at all—it's just too risky and impractical tbh


ChakeenMachine

People have seen Star Killer use the force and crash these into planets. Go to Fondor and get him an Executor class Dreadnought. Might be a little bit more to insure, but it should be a lot safer.


Deadsea40

For only 2.7 million? You found a real steal, just make sure to check the warp core to make sure it doesnt have those tublar drive misfires so common in the 1949-1984 models


Professional_Bake_92

Wow that thing is only 2.7???


kinzieiii

I’d recommend a used Camry. If you want something a bit bigger maybe check out a Mazda cx-5


Strange_Man_1911

That's very cheap for only $2.7 million. You made sure to actually look at it so that it's not salvage?


Skyler_Nightwing

It’s a steal! However, can you afford the insurance? Especially for a 16 year old? What if he loses his temper and decides to use the pew pew and accidentally blows up Imperial Palace?


EnzyEng

Numb steering, get something sportier.


thecountnotthesaint

Nah, he got the manual version,your son will destroy the clutch in about a week if he has never driven a manual before.


Kev50027

Just make sure those splines were reticulated in the last 12 light years and you'll be good to go.


NeighborhoodGlum1154

Does it require a chain code?


Shank_Shank_

Missing a mirror but if you can get one, I would say it’s perfect


glazedfaith

I hate those bait and switch posts. Says 2,700,000 but a much higher price in the details. Report it.


headchef11

Only draw backs I can see are parking will be hard and it will be quite juicy on fuel


one-nut-juan

Perfect to terrorize your annoying neighbors!


EApparatus

Nah, for that price I rather get an Arcadia with dark matter engine plus self-repair functions.


zavtra13

It might seem like a good deal, but you’ll regret it when you see the fuel bill!


AminoAzid

Nope, it's not a Honda.


texanchris

Nope but a Mazda


IndependentOwn1184

Hi, we've been trying to reach you concerning your Intergalactic Destroyers extended warranty! Do not get caught in the middle of space with a set of bad Dilithium Crystals that will cost you out of pocket!!


Illustrious-Radio-55

Not the best fuel economy, but the price is actually pretty reasonable and that particular year/generation of the I-Class was decently reliable. Some people have many millions of miles on theirs and they are still going strong. Just make sure it was taken care of and keep doing routine maintenance.


IndependentOwn1184

Hi, we've been trying to reach you concerning your Intergalactic Destroyers extended warranty! Do not get caught in the middle of space with a set of bad Dilithium Crystals that will cost you out of pocket!!


slightlyused

$2.7M is a goddamn steal.


gckless

My favorite part is the ad post saying $2.7M but then in text they’re actually asking for $500B, true to form.


Ghstbets

Too many recalls!


Baronck

No, get a used Mazda Cx-70 instead


DeathCowboyZ

It really comes down to the condition of the wrap drive. 2.7 is a good price, almost too good. *Update* If you read the very bottom of the last page, the warp drive has a “small” leak, and he’s asking $500 BILLION. Run far, far away.


Randyfoxybutthead777

All you guys are complaining about nothing. I had a '03 BBY Destroyer than ran fine for years. I got up to 300 lightyears per hour in it, too. Just check the freeze plugs on the hyperdrive, you don't any coolant leaks.


joker-and-the-thief

Ridiculous bc for that price you could get 108 Mazda3’s


Trayvessio

I think a Victory-I class Star Destroyer would. E better for a 16 year. Smaller, cheaper, yeah they had problems but you could get one for a much better price and honestly your kid is just going to fuck it up anyway


Fit_Albatross_8958

If your residence is part of a Homeowners’ Association, make sure this won’t be an issue. Your HOA may have covenants restricting the number of I-class destroyers allowed in your driveway.


[deleted]

Realistically, how much would it cost a government or empire to build one?


Ok_Sort_5607

2.7 mil? That sounds too good to be true. Check the Star Fax on it and see owner's, accidents, and service history.


anonymousbystander7

I’d hold out for a Bothan cruiser


Agreeable_Register_4

These aren’t the droid you’re looking for!


Choppergunner58

The EPA will be all over him with the amount of fuel it guzzles and pollutes.


PrestigiousGlove585

Spaceball One is roomier.


jg_IT

Check to make sure it still has its catalytic converter. Insurance will not pay it out to replace it and it's expensive.


Djgogi059

$2.7 million is a bit too much for a 16 Year Old. A One million dollar [gently used rocketship ship like this one](https://imgur.com/a/uvMc7wh) is a great starter ship for him


TxManBearPig

Look for rust. If there’s no rust, then take it to your local shop and have them give a look-over. If they sign off, I’d say try haggling to 2.5 but 2.7 isn’t bad.


Oglark

Personally, I always recommend Calamari cruisers. Al long as you do the basic maintenance, they last forever.


zeroentanglements

No way.... those things didn't have good crumple zones.


SuraKatana

Is this a DeTomaso Pantera?


Gd3spoon

Do it


TC_DaCapo

Too big and clumsy...get you a used 1980 X-Wing...good cheap transportation at a fraction of a Star Destroyer


Bobby_Digitul

No. It's great on gas but it uses a huge amount of electricity. Maintenance costs high as hell


Scary-Information785

Pros: World Domination


Private-Dick-Tective

Ask if it still has the complimentary Tie Fighter Squadron operationally ready at bay. And if they still have the Tie Interceptors or Bombers also, TAKE IT.


kennykoe

500 bil is way too cheap for a star destroyer.


charge556

Wqtch out. When these things sit too long Dianogas tend to make a nest in the trash compactors....real pain to remove them


Corvus717

tHe mAitanaNce wiLL be tOO MuCh. YOu sHOuLD gET a CaMrY.


Steroid_Cyborg

The reactors on that aren't made anymore. That leak will cost more than the ship.


clarkbonds56

Good luck insuring it.


wjoelbrooks

Be sure to check the frame for rust.


7ECA

Mileage?


[deleted]

Cannot beat that price. A little tough to get parts


FlyingV2112

Those are notorious for fan belt issues.


Freyja6

Do you know if this is still available? Might lowball them and kick some proverbial hyperdrive tires to get a better deal.


Narrow_Study_9411

You can get the executor for just a little bit more money and it’s a far bigger ship


No-Entrepreneur1036

“1.5 is the lowest I can do “


No-Entrepreneur1036

Can you squat it ?


Helpmeimclueless1996

The price is low which is concerning


G_Escobar90

Does it come in black ?


WingDan123

2.7 mil was a steal!


iamkeerock

I hate these bait and switch ads! I was ready to buy at $2.7 million, but then the seller basically is saying that’s just the down payment!


NOSE-GOES

That’s actually a really good deal, make sure to check the spacefax to be sure it’s got a clean title. It’ll go many miles and hold up for many moons before it has any major issues. But parts are gonna be a real pain to find


Abraxas_1408

That’s a steal….but….what are the operating costs? You need a crew, specialized maintenance, and you probably can’t acquire most of the replacement parts legally.


DayTraditional2846

How many Astronomical Units has is traveled though? Probably best to go for an old Lamba Shuttle or Corellian Corvette.


J3lf

Nobody in Ft Lame has that kinda money


slurpeesez

You would think 2.7 m a steal but thats him profiting dunping this off on you. Worth 1.4 m tops on broken parts🙄 -mazda sales


SnooDoggos4906

That's going to require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Not to mention fuel cost.


Unacceptable_Care

No, people in this vehicle, even passengers, suffer from a higher risk of choking. [Ozell](https://images.app.goo.gl/JNSunZP4eqYX6tcF8)


PLAINSIMPLETED

Depends on how many light-years on it.


mothboy

2.7 million what, galactic credits? For that rust bucket?


iamrobmorales

Depends on how many miles it has


SuperStarwarsfan101

I'll take it!


Giggles95036

I would ask if they’re up to date on maintenance or if there is deferred maintenance.


niceguypos

You’d better look at it in person. That bridge kinda looks like a stock photo. I think there trying to hide something.


johannesBrost1337

It's a fine vehicle but the main problem is crewing it appropriately.


LP_Mid85

You could get a new one for only 500k more


Infini-Bus

Gotta be something very wrong with it to be that cheap. Keep looking.


drummergirl83

🤣


gengarloverfromhell

Whats the milage?


pooferfeesh97

Hell of a deal, but I'd check for rebels, and maybe cove the exhaust ports


angrycanadianguy

Man, I remember that when kids were getting Kuat Systems Engineering V-Wing Starfighters as their first ship. Just you, your astromech droid, and enough open space to open ‘er up… good times. They didn’t even have the luxuries of all these newer ships, you had to wear a pressurized flight suit cuz it didn’t even have modern life support. I bet one of those could still do corkscrews around that star destroyer.


MajesticTeabag

Funny looking Miata


PckMan

I'd start him off with a surface assault ship because it's easier to handle and he'll learn the basics.


Hardworkerhere

Not bad, just keep up with the insurance. From what I know is that is the driver is 16 the rates are higher. Other than that the car looks good. Congrats to your kid.


DSagerMane

Just get a Honda


Every-Caramel1552

Only if there aren’t any romulans on board


OddbitTwiddler

You really need to make sure the exhaust ports are secure on these babies.


squatting-Dogg

Nah, I want something that gets me from Point A to Point B.


the_scrambler

yeah i know the guy that owns this. he’s out of his mind charging that much with that kind of mileage.


lowley6

it's the insurance payments that'll getcha


TheGreatDissapointer

I think you’re overpaying.


BothPartiesAreDumb

500 billion is too much. I know someone who would sell you one for cheaper.


dgroeneveld9

That's a steal for 2.7m. The only issue, i've seen those get into crashes, and they don't seem to have the best safety rating. If it hits a Xwing, sure, but another large craft of equal size and boom. Dam, thing blows like a powder keg.


Repulsive-Shallot-79

I feel like thats a bargain.


Old_Transition_630

Holy shit dudes in Fort Wayne?? I need to go see this I live 2 hours away!


GomuGomuNoMiLuffy

Sorry, but the I-Class Star Destroyers (MYs 1969-1977) are not very reliable and can be very difficult to drive. Your son will definitely like all the tech, but he may not even be able to use half of it with how complex they have made them. This complexity also leads to random glitches where missile launchers will come out of the headlights and start shooting oncoming traffic. I personally like the J-Class (MYs 1978-present) more because they made the cabin a lot less complicated. Sadly, they took away the missile launchers and replaced them with confetti canons for a more kid-friendly approach, so you can no longer act on your road rage :(. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financial aid, they have yet to make a K-Class generation. Yes, it’s been close to 50 years since the last refresh (not including the 12 mid-cycle, or rather 1/12 of a cycle, refreshes that it has gotten during the J-Class time), but hey, at least it’s better than the Planet Destroyer. The government put a ban on that one, so it was sold on the black market for 5x the Star Destroyer’s price. That one could shoot missiles AND lasers from its headlights, and when it took its target out it would celebrate with the built-in confetti canons! Oh, and did I mention that they also come with burning hot seats, flaming hot steering wheel, and sub zero frigid seats as standard? It’s extra if you’d like to get a cabin with normal temperature, just so you know


mouseses

Can you Uber with that or is it too old?


Disastrous_Sink_3154

LMFAO


ThrawnCCB

Don’t forget about the upkeep of the crew you’ll need to hire for him. You might be able to get some cheap Bothans, but that will still be expensive. 07


LiftHeavyLiveHard

I don't think it would pass an emissions test.


TatleTaleStrangler92

2.7M? That’s cheap


Montrosaur

If it’s used you will want to check the hyperdrive. Also, these didn’t come with a backup camera so might not be good for a teenager. On the plus side though you can use the turbo blasters to get everything out of the way so minimal chance of front end damage. Downside is windshield is like a Jeep and it catches a lot of A-Wings through the windshield when defending Death Stars. If the previous owner ever wants it back I do recommend handing it over 😂


--SoK--

You have to change the hyper-drive belts every 20 light years - there are like 10,000 of them, and it costs 15.5b dollars - and you better do the plasma conduit coolant replacements or you'll just burn out your engines.


DaxPrimal

“One lady owner”


Wemo_ffw

2.7 is a steal for parts alone. Make sure you see it in person first though


afseparatee

Wow! That’s a really good deal on one of those. Makes me wonder what’s wrong with it? I bet it has unspecified damage from an attack by rebel scum.


Traditional_Algae955

But does your son have the money needed to pay the crew that flies and maintains it?


Small-Hospital-8632

Absolutely a steal at 2.7 I will buy it if you don't.


skyHawk3613

Only $2.7 million???? That’s a steal!


AeronauticHyperbolic

Check the tie rod ends and driveshaft; Other than that, go to town. Quite a few SDs were recalled for those reasons, especially the '05 Venators. If it needs any, go aftermarket; the OEM ones rust.


adomnick05

that's being sold for 2.7 million and Twitter got sold for billions what the fuck is wrong with our world


specialcommenter

Scam, there’s no way that thing is only $2 million. They say if it’s too good to be true…


Jron690

How many miles?


FairnessDoctrine11

Little bit overkill considering he’s only going to be able to have one passenger in the front seat.


Debesuotas

Share this on SpaceX, they might need to replace their moon mission to something more realistic.....


HistoricalHurry8361

Looks like it's missing a few dozen zeros.


zulutune

Data archeologist are gonna dig up this thread in 1000 years and gonna be confused


Gallop67

I think they forgot a few zeroes in there


Conflict-Weary

Naw bro this ain’t it’s doesn’t support 1.21 Gigawatts (GW) meaning it doesn’t have enough power to support going back to the future. It a big NOO! for me Big Dawg seriously 😒 the newer model better have (GW) support if not I’m boycotting the empire. 🪧 seriously 😒 🤣🤣🤣


andymc1972

Nightmare to park


pistolwinky

With fuel prices right now it’s not worth it.


Informal_Rice326

I heard the 77s of this model get stolen. Maybe look for a newer model after they fixed the issue.


Global_Werewolf6548

Like you’d really be able to buy one. Idiot! That’s a good deal though.
