I love Mercedes-Benz from that period, when it still was easy to see the difference between the models. I own a 2003 w211 E220 CDI myself and I love the great comfort of a Merc.
I remember riding in a car like that when it was launched to the market. What a wonderful car. Imperial comfort, exudes quality and had technological aspects such as cylinder deactivation, cruise control with adaptive function, which are still desired today.
Kratzt Nicht Studio not true, in my country it would cost 7-8k more just to import this car due to customs, that’s additional on top of the cars original price. So you end up spending 15-16k for this car while a 2008 golf would cost 7k and not more. The reason for this is any engine over 3.0L gets insane amount of customs tax.
Hans Heinen, aber wenn die Leute V8 Mercedes-Benz kaufen, wollen sie alle diesen kraftvollen Motorsound hören :) Wissen Sie was ich meine? aber ja, ich stimme mit einer Sache überein, die nicht immer schnell sein sollte.
Natürlich ist es eine tolle Sache, einen V8 zu hören. Muss man ihn trotzdem bis zum roten Bereich drehen? Einen solchen Wagen würde ich zum gemütlichen cruisen nützen. Er kommt auch ohne kraftvolles ausdrehen auf Touren. Ich fahre übrigens einen 320 E. Vermeide Ampelstarts und hochdrehen. Ich habe immer die Gewissheit, dass genügend Power vorhanden ist. Deshalb erschließt es sich auch für mich nicht, warum die Zeitspanne von 0-100 km so wichtig ist. Für mich wäre es wichtiger zu wissen, wie gut ist die Elastizität von 80-120 km. Also ein realistischer Überholvorgang. Übrigens halten sich meine Benzinkosten im überschaubaren Rahmen. Setzt aber einen entsprechenden Fahrstil voraus.
what a beautiful interior! and fast....there is one of these s500 ,like urs sitting on a used lot near me for 3,500 with 150000 miles// im so tempted but worried abt repairs and cost of parts if it broke down..
Abdullah Shah Look for an 04-06 S430,great COMFORT and POWER and definitely get it checked out by Mercedes Benz,the air suspension and AC evaporator core might be the most expensive fix,the engine and transmission should be top notch.I heard the 01-03 S classes leaks water inside the vehicle and the trunk,definitely ask about that.Those cars take PREMIUM gas...
MERCEDESBENZS600 S500 mine is a 2000 and i buy it in 2012 ! And previous (and first) owner was in obligation in 2008 to make a big work for repair it ( replace all carpeting...elimination of rust with welding of new metal parts ..with preventive rust protection look alike DINITROL resin like special bitumen... since i own car i have NO PROBLEM (NO STAGNATE WATER NO MOISTURE .) I WILL BE JUST IN OBLIGATION TO REPAIR A RUST BEGINNING ON A REAR DOOR ...for avoid extenion
MERCEDESBENZS600 S500 water leaking in cockpit is a disease specific for pré-facelift . A gym friend own the twin T model (on of last 2220) he never talk obout this failure.. i dont observe moisture or repairs evidences under front passender carpet..
I’ve got one 2005 s430 awd the restyled version Runs like a champ Just service it on time and it’ll give you nothing but joy Engine is bulletproof Transmission (the 5 speed) is good just needs to be serviced every 50 to 70k miles (like basic oil and filter) No electrical problems whatsoever Cheap to run and to insure
expect a yearly maintenance bill of around 3-4000 euros to start with (if you don't have any major issues and if you don't go to a Mercedes dealer) otherwise it would probably be twice as high...
A friend of mine owns a 2004 C200. I have driven it twice and you can clearly notice the difference. Especially in the seat comfort, wind noise, and suspension. S class is absolutely the better one. And it should be!
What should I be carefull about, when checking those old Sclasses on internet? Im buying 2000-2004, what u recommend? How many KMs? and for how much money?
I would recommand an s class after 2003 because then you have the facelifted model with a lot of “new” electronics. So 2004 model or later they are way more reliable. Max 175.00 km. So you can ride 100.000 km without crossing your fingers. Price around 9/10 grand. When you are buying one ask the owner/garage to take it on the bridge so you can see underneath the car. Search for oil leaks neer the suspension and in front of the engine block and rust. Hope I helped you with this!
Thank you mate!! Problem is in my country the 2004 is max 4k or so... 9.5k+ is the newer S class model. Doubt I can get lower than 200.000km and been looking for months now.
Bram Bocx it is a 7 tronic cuz you can count the gears and btw the s65 it has so much torque that 7 speed gearbox couldn't handle it that time that's why the 5 speed was used till w221

Mercedes Benz W220 S500 with 302 hp is still an ultimate driving machine on the road today.
The first time I ever drove a w220 s500 at a Euro shop I worked at, it was love at first sight!!!! Has great take off and you feel like your on a ☁️
The sound is a thing of beauty👏🏾💯
Your car look in perfect condition, and is fast.
Oliden Izquierdo خخ
I didn't expect the engine to sound like that...nice! I'm looking at one of these today.
to be honest that video will we always one of my favourite POV driving vids of all time! no talking just straight (not so boring driving) driving!
I had to rewind because I never heard the car turn on. Very quiet engine, and very smooth ride. Suh-weet.
This is ten times better than my dad s 2008 golf 5
It’s also better than anything else;)
Dawid Czerniak Mercedes-Benz "Best or nothing"
and 10 times cheaper

oh thats much... where do you life?
My dream car
Broke N' Stanced just picked one up for $1,600 on 18’s too, they’re nice and fast AF. Coming from an e36 coupe it’s a different kind of pull lmao
Great Power !
Wenn Du jedes mal so anfährst,freut sich die Tankstelle

ive got myself the exact same model,i love it,it sprints 0 - 100kmh in 5 seconds if you launch control
Nice drive , any major problems . Thank you !!
I have also have 2004 S500 (not as nice as this one) and man these things were built to cruise on the autobahn going 130 mph of course
Ok.....maybe I'm a little jelly.😜
Anyway, I don't have extra time on my hands to watch paint....Nevermind. Keep the videos coming.
Great car , still have it? Any problems ?? Thanks
Which model is better in cost .. 2003, or 2004, I mean in gears? 5 speed or 7 speed ,, In petrol ⛽️ cost and in acceleration?

I use to heard that this car had so much problems..... That's true?
2004 2005 are the best years for this model
What about 2006 ?
alan levy Did they ever fix the water leaking into the car???

ali warraich ok.. vert good year .but 2006 millesim od w220 is an USA exclusivity !!!! In europa in 2006 its beggining of w221 !
the door opening explained the entire car
Why does he drive so smooth
👍👍👍🤘
Miles? Issues? Whats it like? Do you daily it?
I’ve got one 2005 s430 awd the restyled version
Runs like a champ
Just service it on time and it’ll give you nothing but joy
Engine is bulletproof
Transmission (the 5 speed) is good just needs to be serviced every 50 to 70k miles (like basic oil and filter)
No electrical problems whatsoever
Cheap to run and to insure
Can you tell me some details about owning the car? Any problems?
expect a yearly maintenance bill of around 3-4000 euros to start with (if you don't have any major issues and if you don't go to a Mercedes dealer) otherwise it would probably be twice as high...
How reliable is this. Airmatic suspension scares me
Nasar Azam I have this car for over a year now and never had any problem (yet)
@@planbdesignnl Thanks you. Wanted to get one, but always concerned about the Air suspension repair cost. I am happy for you
Why is it that certain s500's & s430's have the amg/ or over 16O mph odometers while others don't? Shouldn't only the Amg+models have this?
Don’t have a logic answer to that. Doesn’t sound very German.
Why have keyless go and not use it?
How much cost this car
How much would the insurance cost be monthly
Samsung Geek Depends on where you live, how old you are etc...
23 paying 120
100 bucks in L.A.
Full coverage
Car is cool but expensive right ? I think my salary should be almost 3k a month to get maintaince etc. Done to that car right ?
You're wright. To buy it's not that hard. To find a good one that does not empty your wallet every maintance is a different story
My dream car 😢😢
Iv got A 2005 c class . Do you know if the s class from same period is much differ in comfort and sound level?
A friend of mine owns a 2004 C200. I have driven it twice and you can clearly notice the difference. Especially in the seat comfort, wind noise, and suspension. S class is absolutely the better one. And it should be!
Bram Bocx alright what I suspected
2 2 NOTHING beats an S CLASS as far as COMFORT and POWER...
Not even a Lexus LS 430?
@@nasarazam dont forget reliabiliyy
Is it AMG. Cause it sounds like an AMG!
No its no AMG haha. It's a stock S500
Bram Bocx Thanks for the answer! P. S.- your car is in perfect condition with perfect engine sound.
I own a prefacelift S600 (2000)
Nice
1st use Keyless go card 2nd service engine 3rd dont drive like that?
If you look at the gearbox you see the keyless button. my mum hand and 2012 S350 CDI and she doesnt have keyless like you
Go fuck yourself?
How liters? 5.0??
5.0 is 5 liter (V8) yes
Bram Bocx it's amazing car
Thanks man!
Is 2004 s500 with 400.000 km for 2500€ trusted buy? Help me out S class fans!
Benjamin Strmole don’t do it! To risky. Probably has air suspension problems or will have problems soon
What should I be carefull about, when checking those old Sclasses on internet? Im buying 2000-2004, what u recommend? How many KMs? and for how much money?

Oh really. Only 4 k. Where is that than?
İ have a w220 s320 and 100 km 18lt :( what about your car?
I use about 13 lt per 100 km (1 lt / 7,5 km) I don't think 18lt for a 3.0 V6 is good?
I have a w220 s500 2003. I need 100km 17 lt (fast driving in the citiy)
Why do you always floor it ?
Waleedb7 not always. As you have seen, just this one time...
WZR the v8 engine actually likes to be floored sometimes
the eclass w211 is far Superior even though its a lower class.
Why?
Bram Bocx lol no Eclass is very reliable but ZEROSWAGG...ITS JUST A TAXI CAR !
e500 weighs 3800 lb curb weight and has a 0-60 of 5.2
Erik _ yes like M.i.B car...i love it...but just it....other E-class have not interrest.just a tool of transportation!!!!
seems very noisy, road noise/engine noise, i thought the S class was a very quiet car ???
It is a very quiet car. My camera was attached to the window...
Why are you pushing on it so damn hard?
If you know Mercedes this aint hard at all
is this a 7 tronic
Yes. nice smooth gearbox. Once every now and than I reset it and it works perfect.
Are you sure it's a 7 speed gearbox? My W220 S65 is a 5 speed..... I believe the 7 speed was available for the W221 and on.....
I think it’s a 7 but could it be a 6 speed?
Bram Bocx it is a 7 tronic cuz you can count the gears and btw the s65 it has so much torque that 7 speed gearbox couldn't handle it that time that's why the 5 speed was used till w221
qepaxhiu . You're right! Now I remember... had totally forgot about that... the torque would eat the 7 speed for breakfast... :)
Mercedes is equipped with power steering you don't have to driving with two hands
Rastislav Stofan it’s drive not driving. I just like to keep two hands on the wheel.
Unless you want to drive like a douchebag bmw driver one handedly
i drive with 1 hand unless i turn traction control off, than its two hands
Яко е наи добрия
