    WTF? No mention to the W140 when listing the other S Classes??
    The W140 is LEGEND, bro.

    @markbentley6292 6 років тому +8

    The ONLY problem with this car is, once you have owned one (I currently have a 2007), there is almost nowhere else to go. I agree that if you are worried about cost, don't get one, but if you have never driven one, you really don't know how to make a comparison with anything else.

    • @tempest411
      @tempest411 6 років тому +3

      Oddly enough we sell that at the auto parts store I work at. I think I've sold at most two liters of the stuff in five years. Both times the customer thought the price was some kind of plot against them personally. Ironically, a lot of Mercedes and BMW owners are cheap fucks, always looking for a cheaper substitute for the correct fluid, filter, or other parts...

    • @lukasmeyer1992
      @lukasmeyer1992 6 років тому +1

      tempest411 Would you pay 5x more for the same fluid?

    • @tempest411

      For the correct fluid, sure. My Audi uses something similar. I've had to add just a few ounces in ten years of driving it!

    The really awesome thing about these older S600s is that now that they've trickled down into the far lower price bracket, cheap replacement parts are readily available for much less than the dealer would quote you.

  • @neilross9867

    Gotta say Tavarish, you're videos are very professional looking. If I didn't know better I'd say you had a whole production and editing team behind you. And this is the best episode I've watched so far. Keep up the great work, it's very entertaining. Big up from the UK.

  • @stephenoverstreet9898
    @stephenoverstreet9898 6 років тому +1

    I would agree that an S600 should be in your future. But I would finish your S class first. It was looking so good with your new look. I'd also be curious to see what you sell it for and how much you have in it. Profit maybe?

    My favorite W221 color by far, my S550 is the same Andorite Gray. I kinda wish I got the 600, but then the repair costs of the ABC suspension turns me right back to the 550. Also, where's the intake on the car, the cover and tubing seems to be missing on that specific one.

    The 600's are awesome! I actually went down to FL to buy an S600 (08), but it was in horrible shape so that didn't happen 😢 Looked at some in Chicago with no luck either, so wound up just getting an 08 S550 4Matic, but it is fully loaded at least. Love my S Class, but recently realized my V12 dream by getting an SL600 with the rare AMG body kit (I have some videos on my AutoAddict channel). It's got some issues, unfortunately, so I'm not getting all my V12ness out of it. I have no repair experience but will be trying to fix everything myself, so wish me luck. 🤞 This S600 is still definitely my dream/goal. Awesome car!

    Nice video. I have a 2015 C200 and lately, I've been thinking of getting myself a 2008 or above S-Class. Your video definitely helps, but I am scared about the maintenance cost. Agency repairs will have me selling off my kidneys, hence I don't want it. Can you make a video on something related to maintenance costs of S-Class of that era, and how to get them fixed cheaply? Esp the electronic stuff. As it has so many bells and whistles I am always paranoid of which one is going to fail. My C200 is on 5yr warranty so I don't worry much about it. But an out of Warranty S-Class might give me sleepless nights.

    very very nice but with all those moving extra features/parts comes the repair bill when then privacy shade glass stops sliding or something else electrical has a malfunction. Cool car but not practical. Nevermind if something mechanical goes wrong. It'll more than likely cost more to repair than the car is worth.

    I love these old top of the line Benzes with big power as much as anyone! I just sold my Renntech CL600TT and am about to sell my Renntech SL55 (both Designo cars). They have been fabulous cars and fun to drive for a long time, but before the maintenance catches up to them I am passing them on down the road. These cars have depreciated so much that they are very cheap to buy but the fact remains that just because many folks can afford to buy them now does not necessarily mean that they can afford to own and maintain them. I (and you) are handy and resourceful enough to do many of the repairs ourselves but for those who must pay to have the cars repaired the cost of maintenance can quickly and easily become too much relative to the value of the car. Even with free labor the parts prices alone are quite significant. As you stated, these cars were well into 6 figures when new, and we must remember that these cars do not know that they have depreciated down to Honda Civic levels of value. Same goes for the parts prices! Big fun and big power, but it is wise for potential buyers to be prepared because sooner or later eventually the big maintenance costs will come.

    I had a S600 before. The expensive repair and maintenance on the coil packs and ABC systems are total nightmare. The V12 drinks half tank for going just around 40 miles. If I have a chance to get another S class, I will go for the S63 or C63 for sure.

    YES! Ditch the W220 and get a W221. I owned a W220 when it was the current shape, and loved it. The difference between that and the newer generation is huge. I don't think you should get Hoovies s600. You should see if you can find one that needs work. Even an S550 v8. I'd be fascinated seeing the fixes.

    Greeting from Manchester England I just started watching your videos I like your stuff. Do these have 2 spark plugs per cylinder? I nearly had a heart attack when my c32 Amg needed 12 spark plugs!!

    I think you should keep the S Classyou already have. You made it such a big project and getting rid of it would be a slap to the face. Plus that new S Class may be even harder to maintain on your own. Lol but then again your Tavarish. You could figure that out easily.

    Funny you posted this, I saw someone else who posted a 2006 S65 AMG that they bought for $3750. You can get killer steals these days.
