Don't take this guy's advice. But yes, stay away from the 220. Leaves more for me!
I still love my 2005 S500 W220 (original owner) with proper maintenance care as of today. If you buy a used one which usually got physical abuse by bad drivers, all bets are off, period.
Great vid bro. Here’s how I view mine. It’s 23 years old. Very few cars won’t have gremlins at that age. Especially considering how advanced they were when built. All thing wears with age and trust me.. at 56 years of age I am living proof lol. But I’m not embarrassed to say that I think till this day the W220 S600 is still an incredibly beautiful and sexy car that STILL turns heads wherever it goes. Fortunately I am a self taught mechanic of 43 years. Saves me ALOT of💰 🙌🏾 Last but not least how much money would you have to spend to get the overall quality and ride experience in a new or newer car today 🤔
I have a 2006 S55. It doesn't have ABC suspension. I absolutely love this car. I love it more than any Mercedes before it or after.
Lol just get regular coil suspension kit for 800$ and remove hidraulic suspension 🤣 after zero issue have owned w220 different models pretty reliable vehicle in comparison to newer s class with m278 engine lol he is crying about vacuum doorcpump the w222 m278 have cylinder wall scratches after like 50k miles and need engine block replacement lol on w220 vacum pump is like 90$ 10min replacement time what a joke
The depreciation on these is wild. It's amazing how fast S Class cars end up on "buy here, pay here" lots once they have one foot in the grave.
S600 for under 2k. Wheres he shopping at? 😅 I'd like to purchase a second to have back up parts. As a single father I need a backup 😅
Oh wow in my opinion the s430 or s500 between2000to 2002 years the most reliable s class m113 5gtronic
W220 with air suspension pretty bulletproof vehicle s430 or s500 2000to2002 the best most reliable vehicle
I have a love/hate relationship with my S55….M113K though. I’ve also worked through the ABC issues. If I couldn’t perform my own maintenance I would not own one of these. I highly recommend some version of DAS/STAR for troubleshooting the electrical gremlins too.
But it's freaking DRIVE and RUN every single time to me.
Compare the w220 with w222 lol m278 engines or m177 lol ull see how w220 is the most reliable s class from 90s w126 w140 w221 w222
The W220 life is a black hole in which you passed the event horizon.
is this the V8 kompressor or is this one of the evil v12’s or a naturally aspirated v8 my e55 doesn’t really blink an eye when it’s hot out but maybe worth trying a new intercooler pump/upgrading intercooler I’m running the bosh pump and love it
Dont get an w220 for 800$ or 2grnd get one for 5to6grnd and enjoy driving luxury daily v8 which still gets in my case over 20mpg lol
😴
The worst chassis my ass
