I own a Mercedes CL600 from 2000, is an S-Class Coupe. Massage seats with airco built in, adaptive cruise control, bi-xenon, tv-tuner, Alcantara headliner, soft close on doors and boot, keyless go, double glazed windows, active body control (hydraulic suspension) and sooo much more options! Has good mileage because of a thing called zundauszetser (automatically shuts down 6 cilinders whilst cruising). The fact that I’m a handy guy that doesn’t have to rely on dealership maintenance makes this car perfect for me. If you’re not that handy and have to rely on mechanics for every small repairs you’d be a poor guy within no time!!
I daily drive my 1997 W140 S600 and it always put a big smile in my face, whenever i floor the pedal and let the engine sing. I luv the video my friend.
Thank God I have a friend who works on Mercedes, Audi, and BMW engines in his garage. I can work on my own ride without paying thousands for labor. I only need to supply the parts and beer.
I'm in Italy and just 1 year ago or in the period this video was uploaded, it was easy to get a W140 S600 Mercedes for less than 8k€, in germany i found some even at 5k€, but the current used vehicles crysis has occured and these cheap and reliable Mercedes V12 (strange to be fair, mercedes and reliability never come together), skyrocketed like every other car on the used market, i cannot wait for this crysis to come to an end....
The coolest will always be that 8-Series. The Audi A/S8’s never seem to change, which a great thing... ageless. My E38 (w/M-Sport pkg) always got more attention than my Porsche. And having put 148,000 kms on mine... I have a soft spot for 7-Series. If you wanted to be invisible... I would consider finding a VW Phaeton. To most people, they’ll think its a Passat or even some... a Jetta. Great list! Thanks for the video.
I've got the 850i, bduget about $1500 per year for parts, not really bad considering it was a $95K car new in 91! once it is sorted, it is very reliable.
The e65 V12 Mechanically very reliable engine, its the crappy electrics which can mess things up. Just don't let BMW technicians near it. DIY is the best way or trusted mechanic. It's just nuts and bolts
20 years ago, I had a customer who’s wife ran over something and tore up one of the rear mufflers on his BMW 850. When I checked on the price of the muffler, it was over $2,000! And that was 20 years ago.
I have a challenge for you my friend. How about a video of cheap cars for big and tall fellas. Because its easy to recommend getting a big truck but sometimes the budget does not goes that far. I'm 6'1 and last car I got was a compact 2017 yaris which I could barely fit but I got swindle by the dealer using the classic this is what we have for you. Thanks for your videos.
You mentioned the A8L, but forgot to mention the Bentley Continental GT with the same motor. And it can be found under $30k. Those cheap ones get expensive to fix tho.
You speak so Illy of automatics, I love a good 3 speed auto. I understand the appeal of a manual, but I'm all for an automatic (if it's the right automatic).
Don't buy a v12 unless you are good at parts scavenging and can perform all your own mechanical work, then they are wonderful. The cost of the car is just the entrance ticket. I have the fastest 90's Jaguar, a rare 1996 xj12, last year of the Jag V12's. Fabulous to drive, requires a lot of tlc to maintain. New tires, change all the cooling hoses, check the fuel lines, suspension bushings, new starter motor - the look big, stately and robust but they are a lot of work to maintain.
Go for the S600 NOT the S65 AMG since it costs more because of the AMG badge, don't worry the S600 came standard with a V12 and similar HP for less money,also they are famous for sounding like f1 cars with a nice exhaust, just search "S600 f1 sound " and you will find it also i'd go for the w140 since its older less tech but bullet proof like all older Mercedes, also remember you loose a couple of hp because the w140 is older but again you gain a LOT in reliability.
I guess everyone has to choose which negative they can live with. I myself would look into a 750 series BMW because we love pop up headlights. 🤔 😉👍 Still I would try to shoot for the most reliable with the least repair bills possible. 😁
BMW 760 is still a great driving machine. Better still 750 V12, rarer and rarer ... I have one. Mercedes are passé. Ever since it got Chrysler, they have gone down the drains. I bought my first in 1962, age 20. I went through quite a few. My ultimate: 300SEL, customized 6.9 litres. Even today, at 82, I still regret selling it. Aston Martin, a car that never made it. Jag: buy two in case the one does not start ... The car of cars is the VW Phaeton W12 ... It is a supreme driving machine, like a thoroughbred stallion, that anyone can drive to the hilt without fear of a mishap. They are the best buys as real luxury cars. For 20k Euro one can pick a very good one with low mileage ... If I did not have BMW 750il V12, I would have bought VW Phaeton W12.
A V12 is great but if you want horsepower and reliability there are always Ford and Chevy V8s because there is no replacement for displacement. Up to an 8.8L 2800HP turbo V8 for the price of one of these cars.
I find this video after receiving my '90 BMW 750 IL V12 absolutely FREE!!! from my uncle... and it runs... just need TLC... any money i have to spend is in the plus columm 🤣🤣🤣... and im gonn chip tune it.. and make it handle better, all while having a iconic classic style and look!! HMU when u start a FREE list of cars IDEAL.. lol
0:20 It’s a German V10. Lamborghini Huracan = Audi R8 with different body and interior. Everything else is the same. (Engine, transmission, Quattro, Seats control included)
Your V12 Jag is missing 6 cylinders and a few litres of capacity. Did you actually reaserch the choice of cars in your clip? Do you know about any car?

You forgot to mention BMW's best big body V12, the E38 750il, more reliable than the 760li and a fraction of the cost to buy and maintain.
What motor in that BMW, it is a SOHC V12 or DOHC V12?
I have many important questions
@@tony_5156 E31, E32 and E38 came with SOHC.
Audi S6 V10 is pretty reliable once you get the revised intake and sounds glorious with a JHM exhaust and tune
I daily drive my 1997 W140 S600 and it always put a big smile in my face, whenever i floor the pedal and let the engine sing. I luv the video my friend.
The S65 costs the same amount of 1 used Corolla... plus 3 new ones to keep it running and on the road
hehe... but how much more hp does it have?!
@@IdealMediaChannel a lot more than a corolla
@@IdealMediaChannel Maybe the horsepower of 4 more Corollas
just tuned one up the other day and the spark plugs cost 30$ each.. 2 plugs per cylinder you do the math. smh
I know the Mercedes V12's are known for ignition coil issues.
their coil on plug system is one huge module for each bank with 12 plugs per a bank.
Actually the S65 is very reliable, it just costs a lot to maintain, but it has 0 major problems
so it has a lot of maintenance but its reliable? that doesn't make sense. if it was reliable, maintenance would be cheap to none.
the turbos take a shit all the time. they all smoke like a bitch
Prince had one, he went to my Kingdom Hall 850 I with Gold wrap in 1999. Jaw dropping in appearance in person. I could not stop looking at it.
Best v12 car 2005-2009 Mercedes s65 AMG💯💯💯
what color?
@@IdealMediaChannel maybe black. You see a black s65 behind you on the motorway, you WILL think it’s a mafia boss and you WILL move out of the way!
5:55 the BMW v12 engine can be put in a maclaren F1 replica or something
ohhhh! lets gooo!

no, its definately the db7
@@billybowbob2071 I heard that in a while
audi and the jag is my pick, but the BMWs are pretty damn good too
The s65 you mentioned is going for around 45k in Australia
My dad used to own a A8 W12 Thats cool I never knew it was a v12
That's crazy!
Not a v12.... it's a w12.... but it is a 12 cylinder
I've got the 850i, bduget about $1500 per year for parts, not really bad considering it was a $95K car new in 91! once it is sorted, it is very reliable.
I agree got mine it was in rough shape but I can tell it is a reliable car and timeless style
Oh no not the 7 series!! endless money pit🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
Sup Brad😊😊
The A8L is absolutely beautiful. The W12 is icing on the cake. I love the W220 but I prefer my 2006 S55.
The e65 V12 Mechanically very reliable engine, its the crappy electrics which can mess things up. Just don't let BMW technicians near it. DIY is the best way or trusted mechanic. It's just nuts and bolts
My man.
You should also tell about the Toyota Crown which can be imported for only $10k
What about a vw phaeton w12? Where i live they go for like 8k.
I'm still got pulled back by reliability... But a very EPIC list, Brad!
yeee! glad i didnt disappoint!

I'm buying one of these to swap them in a shopping cart
I’ll show y’all something “Massive” I’m talking about my debt 🥴
So happy to be back after a damn long time. Thanks alot brother for the video. Amazing
Yes great v12s noted. I owned a D3 S8 (v10) and also YES all of these and mine's are HEADACHE's to own and operate.
The engines on these are usually bulletproof. Everything else though....
If you want a reliable V12, go find a late-60s medium duty GMC. If you're lucky, it has tthe GMC gas 702ci V12
10:54 That "massive V12" appears to be an AJ16 4.0 inline 6. Boo.
A new Mercedes S65 AMG costed back than in our country $350.000 without options. So only about $170.000 was really cheap.
One of my favourite cars is a 850i and i didnt know that its a v12 so i like it more now
BMW 760 is still a great driving machine. Better still 750 V12, rarer and rarer ... I have one.
Mercedes are passé. Ever since it got Chrysler, they have gone down the drains. I bought my first in 1962, age 20. I went through quite a few. My ultimate: 300SEL, customized 6.9 litres.

I have a 06" S550 parked in my driveway right now. If its not airbags leaking or transmission gone out. Can't wait to find out whats next to wrong!!
10:51 States massive V12, showed massive I6.
I will go with the reliable Toyota Century in the 1990s. In fact, this engine is used for the V12 powered Toyota Supra built by Mr. Nagata
First time seeing Ur videos this early!!!! Thanks notifications 😂😂
lets make this a thing!
I love the Audi a8l.
Monsters to your wallet lol - Nice video.
hahahha which one would you pick?
@@IdealMediaChannel 850i 100%. I love the E31's, although I would go with the V8 for reliability's sake.
I bought a 98 750il with 90,000 miles for $1500 Canadian. So that's like $235 US. 😂
Wrong, 25$.
I saw a Aston Martin BD7 for 23,000 on OfferUp
Broo that Jag XJS is gorgeous!! DAMNNNN
soooo good lookin!
mines for saleeee 1989 xjs coupe with 22k miles. all original with documentation and service records :) runs great drives great
I think you missed here VW Phaeton with the same W12 as the Audi 8. But it suppose to be even cheaper
10:51 That is a 4 litre straight six or V8.
Odd, since you are talking about V12 engines you show a Jaguar XJS with an inline 6?
That jag would be in the shop more time than it's on the road.
Many of these Aspirational cars cost way more to drive and maintain than to buy.
I would get the 760LI if not I would get a S65 Mercedes but then again 76OLI looks very amazing and smooth 😎😎😎
I own an S Class and I f@cking love it! This car is straight Gangster!
Your not talking about all the above cost a Carolla to fix and then Inevitably break again.
