Let's assume that your Benz averaged 14 mpg, and premium cost on average $2.50/gal. Over 8,000 miles, you will have spent $1428 on fuel. Add this to the $7068, brings your cost of ownership up to $8496, or $1.06/mile. The IRS reimbursement rate in 2017 is 53.5 cents a mile, which is a fairly good estimate of what it costs to own an average vehicle. Your costs per mile are roughly twice the average, just to put it into perspective. I still think you made the right choice, as an S600 is way more car than your average vehicle.
Love your videos, they are unique, your humour is unique, just be yourself and keep on doing more of what you're doing...Drive shaft flex disc...now that's a tongue twister!
I love how the wizard just stands there all embarrassed while you do your silly shit for your video. He's probably thinking, man, I hope no one walks by my shop an see this fool. LOL
Tyler you are my inspiration. My my mechanic has an e36 that I'm going to inquire about when I come in for my next oil change which will be this week. My goal is to own 3 "hoopties" by the time I'm 30.
Love this body style. Just needs updated headlights and would bring it some proper life. Nice buy and sell tho. Props. Vids on it made up for the losses
LITERALLY AS SOON AS I SAW THE VIDEO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "he's gonna sell it to tavarish...." I literally jumped from my seat when I predicted it correctly ahahahahah
Most companies do not cover an extended bumper to bumper warranty on older luxury cars so yes you can get these cars cheap but maintenance could be several thousand a year without a warranty!
Tavarish and Hoovies - the two best automotive you tubers... parker and doug smh... I wouldn't have sold that s600, but at least you'll get to witness its fate
My S600 is a near lemon, tbh. Lots of stuff failed much sooner on mine than it should have. I suspect this is like that for a lot of them. But it's only dumb stuff that fails. Otherwise, it is mechanically solid. Just the electronics and plastic tabs. So many broken plastic tabs.
@the74impala I guess the statement is best used as a joke. And jokes can be funny when they have at least some truth to them. But you said it quite right. Especially if you enjoy doing the work. Otherwise it becomes time vs money.
Hoovie. You always have some awesome cars my hooptee fleet is all American except for the 07 merc. R CLASS I HAD. I miss that van.. I wanted to enter your contest but most of my fleet is strung across the US, 3 in Texas 3 in MO and 1 here in NY with me now...I'm afraid to get into the highend. Lux boxes as mist of my fleet are craigslist buys of 800 or less give or take
I hope one day hoovie buys a 2004-05 SL500. Love that body style . . Just wish more people would pick them up so I can get an idea of a real maintenance report
hard to believe it's a 10 year old car... when I think of 10 year old car I always thought of g35 or 350z or Acura cl. but those are even older... wow time flies
I had no idea until today that Tyler actually worked at autotrader as well just like Doug Demuro. I knew they were friends, but now I'm wondering how many other people from Oversteer have youtube channels
I love Mercedes V12 and at the same time I can’t believe my dream car is a V8 SUV these days.😂 The best sounding exhaust system, super high tech, most practical and the most safe, the new Cadillac Escalated V has arrived and soon will be mine🤤🤑👑
Half Alive: Tavarish has a bad ass Hooptie Fleet tho. I would rock either one except for the MR2. I don't buy project cars from Miami. I live down here, I know what they rig up.
Hoovy, not every one has "car wizard"/ best friend from kindergarten to help keep the price of ownership down...cause that guy must be your best friend to put up with all the crap you have thrown at him!
So to sum it up, you sold the most reliable and luxurius car you have to finance one of the worst ls swaps in history of ls swaps. This is so much Hoovies style.
Here's the solution to your language problem, and again it comes from Germany: We call the driveshaft flex disk the "Hardyscheibe". If you were to translate that into English, it would become "Hardy disk". Not hard disk, but hardy disk. No idea where that name came from, but it sure is easier to pronounce than driveshaft flex disk.
Well hello there
Enjoy this S class T, this is by far one of my favorite YT cars. take care of her.
I knew it
This is going to be great
god damn it Tavarish, don't buy another car before you finish your SL manual swap!
Tavarish i do landscaping in your neighborhood and see your cars all the time lol
My god Tyler, you sold the best S600 in the US for 12k. You truly are an automotive masochist.
KFC Manager best?
If you sold it to me, I could've been the guy with 2 S600s...
@ samcrac....I'm on your heels with one!!
No shit Sherlock
That's how hoarding starts
But did he auction it?🤔🤔
Samcrac you could be rebuilding a BMW i3.
Been binge watching your videos. Great way to waste time in the depth of winter up here in Canada. Thanks Hoovies. Very entertaining!!

How long did it take for you to write this??
Can you do this again with the current gas prices please!!!!!
What a beautiful, glorious car the S-class is. Such a privilege to own & drive, and to fix & modify at that. This is one insanely lucky car guy.
Love your videos, they are unique, your humour is unique, just be yourself and keep on doing more of what you're doing...Drive shaft flex disc...now that's a tongue twister!
You and Tavarish... top quality channels.
This channel is the purist form of entertainment. Love it.
Congrats Tavarish...
ali raza LOLOLOLOL I know.....after Tavarish BEGGED for it!
This is so perfect i didnt wanna see this baby go and now it just goes to another of my favourite youtubers
I love how the wizard just stands there all embarrassed while you do your silly shit for your video. He's probably thinking, man, I hope no one walks by my shop an see this fool. LOL
5:50 that is why I subscribed!!!! You are such a unique, nice, funny and goofy character ;)
Man that startup and that exhaust sound is worth dying for!!
I am so happy Tavarish is getting it. That is a great plot point!
What a sweet ride, looking forward to Tavarish videos on this car.
Oh dear. Who didn't see this coming?!
Fantastic car, btw. Despite the fact they cost a fortune to maintain (for most people).
I knew tavarish was gonna buy it
Me too haha
He and Tavarish are friends and did some vlogs together.
FYI I found you through this car I stayed for the other cool videos👍. Keep living my dream of owning a bunch of "fun" projects😀😀
Tyler you are my inspiration. My my mechanic has an e36 that I'm going to inquire about when I come in for my next oil change which will be this week. My goal is to own 3 "hoopties" by the time I'm 30.

"Why do people drive extra stupid in the rain?"
*burns out in the rain*
LITERALLY AS SOON AS I SAW THE VIDEO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "he's gonna sell it to tavarish...." I literally jumped from my seat when I predicted it correctly ahahahahah
You seem to be always capable of mortally embarrassing your mechanic, definitely one of the reasons I'm subbed.
6:37 I'm glad you mess up too, I have to make multiple takes all the time!
Most companies do not cover an extended bumper to bumper warranty on older luxury cars so yes you can get these cars cheap but maintenance could be several thousand a year without a warranty!
Tavarish and Hoovies - the two best automotive you tubers... parker and doug smh... I wouldn't have sold that s600, but at least you'll get to witness its fate
Tavarish probably thinks he's going to be able to do a manual conversion on it
Thats right!
Short-trow dipstick mod and fixing 1000$ issues with 20$
there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes....?
Buy for $4550, $4500 for replacement motor and he loose money ?.

If you pay someone else to do the work I agree. If you can fix it yourself, that isn't always true, not always.😎
That's an understatement.
@the74impala I guess the statement is best used as a joke. And jokes can be funny when they have at least some truth to them. But you said it quite right. Especially if you enjoy doing the work. Otherwise it becomes time vs money.
Tavarish is living a dream in the early 2000's.
Hoovie. You always have some awesome cars my hooptee fleet is all American except for the 07 merc. R CLASS I HAD. I miss that van..

Man Hoovie, I'm missing you by two days. I'm going to be down at Tavarishes house the 11th!!
Nut! You already sold it! Someone got a deal. I'm going to have to watch out for your next sale.
Did anyone else realize the iPhone sitting by wipers at the bottom of windshield at 3:16 when he pulls out of driveway?
Drive shat flex risk hahahahaha . OMG I was crying tears of laughter !! By far my favorite channel for laughs out loud.
I am one with the Benz and the Benz is with me.
put diesel in it before sending it to tavarish
Joeys Cleaning Lady knjjj
You better buy a T34 than
Wait! No Hoovie intro song!!! My face is melting.
Of course Tavarish bought it lol
I hope one day hoovie buys a 2004-05 SL500. Love that body style . . Just wish more people would pick them up so I can get an idea of a real maintenance report
I don’t think it was worth it selling this beauty after all the money you put into the sliver elephant I also always loved this body.
This car is epic looking
I originally found your channel with this car reveal. Never left :)
Garrett Duplechain Same here.
I just found a 07 for 13k here in California thanks for the great knowledge and video
$4500? For $4500 you could get a clapped out 1994 C180 Elegance, here in Australia...Such is life.
hard to believe it's a 10 year old car... when I think of 10 year old car I always thought of g35 or 350z or Acura cl. but those are even older... wow time flies
Tavarish, hoovies, and Doug are the holy trinity.
Nice ride, I love that car.
Sad to see it go but glad it's heading someplace warm for winter. Did you make the sale contingent on T making a video where he rodeo rides it too?
TODAY THE HAMBURGLUAR TEACHES US HOW TO RIDE A SILVER BACK ELEPHANT!
Love the sound of that engine😍😍😍
You could have found another one at that rate lol. Great review though keep up the great work!!!
Lets hope Tavarish doesn't plastidip this one in a hideous blue
I'd try to work a little bit on not letting audio levels drop and spike when cutting between camera files.
Hey i cant wait for the coming project
I had no idea until today that Tyler actually worked at autotrader as well just like Doug Demuro. I knew they were friends, but now I'm wondering how many other people from Oversteer have youtube channels
Great video. You crack me up. :-P Teach Doug how to do a good video will you Hoovie?
I can't believe street speed 717's t-shirt be yours here to Japan! That's crazy but hopefully I get it next week I'll put a picture up!
Whoever bought it got a wonderful car, this guy took the time and cash to get it running perfect!
I love Mercedes V12 and at the same time I can’t believe my dream car is a V8 SUV these days.😂 The best sounding exhaust system, super high tech, most practical and the most safe, the new Cadillac Escalated V has arrived and soon will be mine🤤🤑👑
I'm supersized you didn't get 20k out of it.
Do you know how much it cost me to own my 8th Gen Daily Honda Civic or my New Edge Mustang? ? What ever it cost to fill up gas and change the oil!
The rainstorm sounds feel so good
I seen that car today on a car hauler. Wow!!!
3:13 he drove off with his phone outside near the passenger wiper lol
I have '99 V-12, awesome car.....no complaints
Tavarish, always getting the leftovers !! 😂😂
sloopy seconds
Half Alive : That's just wrong
thats just the truth
Half Alive: Tavarish has a bad ass Hooptie Fleet tho. I would rock either one except for the MR2. I don't buy project cars from Miami. I live down here, I know what they rig up.
Because he's a DIY!
Love your reviews, you're funny as.
I live in halstead and see you all the time!!!!
Good bye to a beautiful Hoopty member
Dude I was just wondering whats up with your s600!!
Hoovie! You're coming to Orlando?! You should do a meet and greet it. It would be cool to meet you in person.
you need a 17 year old lemonade daddy to help finance the hoopty fleet
Tavarish is a happy man
That Rodeo test is very cool
Hey I watch tavar channel too. And vehicle virgins. And Doug demuro. You guys are awesome.
Just saw u at the depot. I was driving the little white chevy pickip
If I were going to drive a car regularly, it'd really have to be something like this.
We passed you filming one day and I thought you hydroplaned and lost control but then we passed your camera. LOL
Hoovy, not every one has "car wizard"/ best friend from kindergarten to help keep the price of ownership down...cause that guy must be your best friend to put up with all the crap you have thrown at him!
do the rear lights flicker when you lose traction??
Hoovies Garage Are you considering getting a lav mic? I enjoy your channel, thanks!
Come to Orlando Cars and Coffee on Oct 14!
Excellent sounding exhaust....Stock or aftermarket?
Driving in heavy rain with your phone in one hand and looking in the camera.
It’s going to a good home 👍🏼😎
For the record, the gopro audio is never good enough ;-) Nice choice on the Phone mic backup
"why do people drive super dumb in the rain" *proceeds to do a burnout*
Doug is good, but my friend.....your channel is better!!! cheers brother 👍
I hope it was my comment on your last vid that got you to make another s600 video
I spit my food out when I heard Tavarish was buying it. Thats fucking awesome!
I hope Tarvarish keeps this one mostly stock
Did it come with two keys? if you had to buy an extra that probably would have increased your cost of ownership
So to sum it up, you sold the most reliable and luxurius car you have to finance one of the worst ls swaps in history of ls swaps. This is so much Hoovies style.
I wouldnt mind a used SL600 red convertible 😍
That "silver elephant" is a regular mechanical bull! And you sir, are a suburban cowboy!
Complains about stupid drivers, then proceeds to drive stupid.
1 year later, Tavarish already forgot about this car... And sadly, everyone saw that coming
Here's the solution to your language problem, and again it comes from Germany: We call the driveshaft flex disk the "Hardyscheibe".

Really love that S-Class, i just dont like the last model.
