I'm pretty sure that lizard was just trying to help you save 15% on your car insurance.
Need an early 2000s Mercedes’ sedan in my life
I have one for sale now - 4400
Correction... Soft close runs off the PSE pneumatic pump found in the trunk... The Airmatic suspension has its own pump amd piping found under one of the front wheel fenders....
There were at least 4 different engine options for the W220 in the US. The 3.2 6 cylinder (I think it was a V6), the 4.3 V8, the 5.0 V8, and a V12. In Europe diesel engines were available. Design of the W220 started in 1992 at the beginning of the W140 production run. And while you're correct about the beginning of the W220 production, they didn't get to the US until 2000, so this is a first year W220.
I daily drive a 03 s500 sport and I love it. I changed all four air shocks with cheap Amazon units and have had 20k miles of luxury wafting. Yes it's not as well built as a 126 but it is a fine car. Great video buddy!
I remember in the film Meet The Parents , Ben Stiller was racing the S500 car against Robert DeNiro. Then the owner of the car next to him was all “ Drives a little bit better than your Taurus huh Greg?”. Lol
Mercedes’ new infotainment system is called MB UX now, they don’t call it command anymore
S mode is standard/ summer
W mode is winter/wet roads
European models have the same style cup holders as US models. They're not made to fit a thermos, they're made so you don't need to say : "Hold my beer" to the passengers 😂. And yes, I can confirm the air suspension after 20 years of age, is a love and hate relationship.
Great car, great video, keep up the good work 👍
Yeah,but you don´t have to live with 20years old suspension parts,just buy new ones :)
@@matsujarvinen Already been replaced, all 4 corners. I'd never convert to regular shocks, I love the air suspension too much.
Also the later model years got a 7 speed gear box for this car.
Dean’s a heck of a nice guy and that’s a great car
Perfect car to race your future father-in-law’s Lincoln continental
I think this would crush the Lincoln town car due to the transmission and the town cars lazy v8 however the town car would last much much longer with a way Smaller headache
@@lethargicstove2024
He was referring to the " Meet the Parents" scene, not actually racing them.
@@smy5607 lmao sorry never watched that show
I've always liked the look of those cars...& with those wheels!
I like the look of these as well
What are those wheels mane omg
@@APNTV603 Rohana RFX11 but not sure on the size. Most likely 19" or 20" and they appear to be staggered width since the rears look a little wider and have more concave style. I'd gues 19x8 and 19x9 or maybe 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 due to the size of the tire sidewall not being super thin.
I agree it aged well for a car from its time period, I always found these rather handsome inside and out, I think they actually look better than the following generation even though that one looks much more modern.
Nice. But the quality went down a lot from the W140 to the W220. As for all of the technology it can cost a fortune when something goes bad. Would I buy one? Hmm maybe rather not.
This is clearly Chrysler era Mercedes. Quality was slightly better with the W221 (post Chrysler era).
@@damilolaakanni w140 is still better though so 🤷♂️
I prefer the W220 over the W140, just looks way better to me. Probably because it's the S-class I grew up with. The W140 looks like a dinosaurs now.
The quality of W220 is superb.If well maintenanced,it´s extremely reliable and even cheap to own.It is a DIY-car,but it might get expensive to those who take it to the dealer.
W220 has way better quality than the w140 oldness
You just made me love this generation of s class. This exanplyis dope with the rims
That was when engine were made. Now is plastics.
It’s funny the 2000s Pacifica seems to have borrowed from Mercedes with the gauge cluster design.
They had a merger in the 2000's, so a number of Chrysler and Mercedes cars shared parts to varying degrees.
I was having a bunch of small issues and starting to have signs of air suspension issues and I wish I kept it I miss my 2000 s500 every day
Planning on buying 2005 S280! Love these cars man!
Could make an interesting project car
This car was designed/developed in the early to mid 90s and came out in for the 1999 model year but 2000 was the first year for the US, you are wrong unfortunately.
More info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_S-Class_(W220)
True. The design of the next generation is usually developed during the current generation's production run.
Hes wrong very often with alot of cars. Hes a hypebeast who doesnt know shit about cars.
me pointing out that dual zone climate control was already available on earlier models
I think these were great cars for the time, now they are too unreliable and dated to be a daily imo
Lies. I daily my 2001 S430 Sport 62 miles roundtrip and she has 259k miles. In a couple months, it won't be my only car anymore, but these cars are not awful if you drive them daily.
@@uberenthusiasts Exactly.Told by someone who actually daily drives w220.The truth is:the car (any car?)might get unreliable if you don´t regularly use it.
There's a reason you don't see them over here in Germany anymore. They were plentiful up until 2010 but now they are just gone, rusted away. Of course you can be lucky, but most of them are gone. That's the sad truth.
