Awesome seeing a really nice car here again. That 250 SE is a beautiful car. This car has so much more character than the 'just another silver Benz" cars , lovin' it!
Hey Mike very good walk around video. I noticed you were wondering what does RCTA and BSM mean the Lexus RX350. RCTA means Rear Cross Traffic Alert. The RCTA uses sensors to detect approaching vehicles from the side and it alerts you with visual and audible warning. BSM means blind spot monitor it is a system designed to help drivers avoid accidents by alerting them of other vehicles in their blind spot. Hopefully that helped you out and keep up the great content.
Mike, I want you to win the bid on that absolutely stunning Mercedes-Benz 250se. It is calling you to buy it and it needs you to save it and get it back on the road again.
Would love to see you win the 250SE Coupe but I'd be surprised if it goes for anything under $15k. Not sure about your market but these things sell for between $30,000 to $60k where I live.
AMAZING!!!! Classiest of the classy. I was looking at a brown on brown 3 door before getting my w126. I want the coupe 250se PASSIONATELY!!! Just everything about it is timeless and at the highest standard.
Mike: you show us a good stuff, I will buy Lexas at the hard beat. I will pay you plus shipping if the price is rights! No dealer prep and $4000.00 fee like we saw in MD
They're claiming actual cash value of $52k for that Benz , I'm thinking that's wishful thinking in this market,and the considerable damage. Make an offer, Mike, doesn't hurt to try! They're gonna have to deal if they wanna sell it.
Another great video and man that Benz is pretty nice it sucks that it's damaged pretty bad and it sure is a really nice old school car. And that Lexus is a sweet looking suv and that sucks that the passenger side is crunched in and it won't be a cheap fix thags gonna be an expensive repair bill same with the Benz. And the BMW is nice too and to bad it's a flood car. Anyways thabks for sharing keep up the great work much love to ya mike have a good one take care god bless and I will see ya on the next one
I wouldn't think about touching that M235i, not because of fear for the water damage but because of who used to own it. It tends to be a certain kind of person who buys a used BMW like that and then decks it out with all that fake carbon fibre wrap, and they generally don't look after their cars at all well. Looking at the damage on that one I would say the driver tried to drive through water at speed "because no-one tells me how to live my life" and ended up hydrolocking the engine. If you don't believe me about those kind of BMW drivers then just have a look in your local breakers yard and see how many BMWs there are in there dressed up like this one that are all kinds of smashed up or torn up...
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike. The 1957 Mercedes 250 SE is a decent looking car. The 2017 Lexus RX250 is a good looking car even though it's got a little damage to the rear passenger side door.
In all likelihood it's what the insurance companies call a constructive write-off in that the damage done to the vehicle's value by being recorded as damaged repaired makes the vehicle not worth repairing, so it becomes a constructive write-off. For the enthusiast repairer they can make excellent projects as the damage doesn't have to be severe to make a vehicle a constructive loss, and the enthusiast doesn't have to use genuine new parts, though a vehicle this recent could prove hard to find recycled parts for so the repair budget could get decimated by ending up having to buy brand new parts at main stealer prices. Plus, at 129,000 miles it is high mileage which kills the trade value of the vehicle.
How much is a Mercedes 250SE coupe worth? I know the convertibles bring a little money but a wrecked coupe hard top can't be worth too much. You should definately watch that one and try to buy it Mike.
I think that classic Mercedes will be less than $3,000 because of the damage on the fender and the hood and also that Mercedes is worth it to restore her.🤠🍻👍🏻
If anything the coupes are more sought after in the US than the convertibles as the soft tops sold in large quantities where the coupes were few and far between and they certainly haven't got any more common in the intervening 60 years.
That 250 SE is just gorgeous. They sure knew how to build cars back in the day. I hope she gets saved and doesn't get parted out 🙏
That was someone's pride and joy. Must have hurt bad to let it go!
That Benz is artwork! Simply beautiful.
Mike, If the 250SE Merc is even halfway cheap - buy, buy, buy - these are exploding in value here in Germany - and soon in your neighborhood👌
Mike you can’t let that Mercedes 2 door get a way!
Cheers
Awesome seeing a really nice car here again. That 250 SE is a beautiful car. This car has so much more character than the 'just another silver Benz" cars , lovin' it!
Take the money you have dumped in to that Saab and put it toward ownership of that 250. Now that is a worthy project!
Bring that BENZ to the channel. !!
Love the 250SE, beautiful old car
That old 250 SE was someone’s pride and joy. I’m sure that it could be rebuilt. Just a matter of locating the sheet metal.

Hey Mike, just checking to make sure you and yours are okay after seeing the weather in your area.
They're claiming actual cash value of $52k for that Benz , I'm thinking that's wishful thinking in this market,and the considerable damage. Make an offer, Mike, doesn't hurt to try! They're gonna have to deal if they wanna sell it.

I’ve had a 1990 300e. 1990 500sl. 1992 190e. 2004 500e wagon and now I have a 2002 clk430!
I wish you could snag that Lexus suv, that thing is sweet
Lexus is nothing but a glorified toyota.
@jasonp.greiner8239 i know lol, still a nice ride

I would love to see the benz on the channel
BSM =Blind Spot Monitoring (enabled)
RCTA = Rear Cross Traffic Alert (enabled)
How hard is it to find parts for these 60s Mercedes?
Not easy and very definitely not at all cheap.
That Lexus probably has structural damage to the B pillar and possibly the sill. That is why it was totaled since I don't see any blown air bags.
In all likelihood it's what the insurance companies call a constructive write-off in that the damage done to the vehicle's value by being recorded as damaged repaired makes the vehicle not worth repairing, so it becomes a constructive write-off.

Awesome video and let's bring auto auction rebuilds Randy see if he came out
Nice Mercedes 😀
Mike buy it i like this benz. ❤
How can you let that Mercedes pass you by? Get it bought Mikey!
Buy it mike!!!
Mick the 250 Is an easy fix
Its time for a Vette👍🏻
In good condition in Germany worth about 150 to 180 thousand Euros! 😊❤
how can you pass on the 280 wont find another one
Looks like mikes newest addition. Buy her Mike, you wont regret it.
How much is a Mercedes 250SE coupe worth? I know the convertibles bring a little money but a wrecked coupe hard top can't be worth too much. You should definately watch that one and try to buy it Mike.
Quack. Love it .
Moca color not burgundy on the Lexus
That white bmw is missing its roundel on the front of it.
Ask the Area Diesel Service UA-cam channel if they can help you renew your fuel pump
Hey Mike
Let's go Mike's go fund quick $10,000
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Buy the Benz ! 👌 🏄
I think that classic Mercedes will be less than $3,000 because of the damage on the fender and the hood and also that Mercedes is worth it to restore her.🤠🍻👍🏻
It’s already over $6,100 and the auction is next week
@@MonkeyWrenchMike then bid $6,500 or more because she is worth it!👍🏻🤠
Omg you have to buy her
At least it is not a Mercedes "Pagode" W113, those go from 40 grand to "the sky is the limit".
Mercedes is cool but where the hell is that sweet bronco?😊
You must buy that Mercedes coupe
Hey , you get the merc and fix with your car and go on power tour
Man Mike Pleeeaaase, Get That Mercedes Benz 250 SE, That’s A 100 Percent Monkey Wrench Special, She’s Calling You Good Sir, Go For It!!
Buy the Benz !
I think that the Mercedes 280 will go cheap I think next to nobody wants it it's not an SL or an Convirtable
If anything the coupes are more sought after in the US than the convertibles as the soft tops sold in large quantities where the coupes were few and far between and they certainly haven't got any more common in the intervening 60 years.
The Mercedes is a Gorgeous Girl Mikey.
Why do vehicle say detailed
How much will this sell for ? Depends on how much you want to pay for it Mike !
Your going to, aren't you....
Buy the damn merc , you know it's gonna make you mad when it's gone your engine in the other one will be pissed if you dont .
Hellow buddy
Thats more like it Monkey Man... its the 250 all day... put a cheeky bid in and see if you get it!
Not 100,000 subs.....but if you don't buy that Benz you'll have one LESS !
You need the engine out of the Benz
