I feel like a new man in 2020. First, I learned how to make pan pizza with Pizza Hut, and now, I am ready to conquer the world in 1990 by selling the ENTIRE Mercedez Benz lineup.
Once again, my body is ready.
You should fine tune your meat carving behavior like they did in the Old Country buffet.
@@crBudgetWatches My heart is with Pizza Hut.
That pizza hut demo video is legendary
The narrator is from forensic files!
@@scoobyrex247 haha! Yeah that's the guy no shittin ! 😂👍
I’ve never felt more ready to sell Mercedes Benz
The voiceover guy was THE guy in the 90s for any documentary.
Forensic Files... still all over late night TV
Didn't he do Buick too??
I think he also did the Audi documentary in 1990 named "Secrets of Speed: The Unfair Advantage", the UA-cam video of which has a GMC commercial in between!
He did a great job with forensic files. He always spoke with emotion when he started describing the murder taking place.
He’s also done a lot of self help audio books back in the day such as How To Win Friends And Influence People
It's 2022 and I have used my dear '95 124 300 turbo diesel wagon as a daily driver since 2010. 230K miles. Got no plans at all changing it for something newer, it does it job well and I do all maintainence myself. Absolutely love the lines of it,.
I love my ‘88 300TE!
Can you imagine them doing this now? There are like 442 different Benz models today. There's a new klasse each week!
They are making the same mistake GM did decades ago. Not just Mercedes-Benz, BMW too !
Bilal Ahmed and Apple joined the pack with rumoured 6 new iphones to be presented this fall...
spk8989pl smh
More klasse, but less class.
I wouldn't be surprised if they imploded at some point in the future from what they currently are now. They really seem to be doubling down in making a Mercedes car in every possible car body type, spread over several classes and trim levels... they probably have half of Germany's population working for them!!
Pure quality. Didn't take long for the quality to start going after this. The introduction of the W202 and the W210 saw things go very wrong indeed. As good as Mercedes Benz are today I don't think they have the aura they did back in the 80's. It's not the same anymore, there's too many of them and now everyone can afford a diesel AMG trim A Class. Back then you stuck your nose up to the window and dreamed.
Josh Charlie w202&w210....both good looking but we’re horrible in longevity. The c and e to follow those two didn’t help much either. They could easily make their cars more reliable, but the aura I agree will never return...to many cheap leases and high discounts.
@@finnellwilliam You think those leases are cheap? You have to put a lot of money down up front.
@@finnellwilliam w210 bad at logevity? Man, the 5g-tronic is the most reliable mercedes transmission ever made, and so are the m112/m113 among gas engines
@@finnellwilliam More like cars that now look like Asian knock-offs filled with Chinese parts, and the hip hop stigma associated with Benz (and pretty much any other luxury brand that was once great) which has really tarnished their image. Quite frankly, if you removed the Mercedes logo from a lot of their current lineup, most wouldn't know if it was a Kia or a Benz. This also goes for most other car companies though.
Mercedes Benz: 0.5 mm door tolerances.
Tesla: 5.0 mm door tolerances.
But... but... but... fast acceleration and iphone integration, bro.
Tesla bumper tolerances: if it's in the same driveway then we consider that a win.
Now check the new S Class....
Modern Merc is probably almost as bad tbh
Porker Nierenton as an iPhone owner, I marvel at how everyone gives Tesla a free pass for not doing what every other car maker has done by integrating CarPlay.
I have an 85 300SD Turbodiesel and the 90 560SEL and I love them so much, they seriously don't make them like they used to, that's for sure
The 1990 Mercedes-Benz was so far ahead of it's time...… state of the art engineering merged with jaw dropping styling.
Ugh, that would have been the Lexus LS400.
@@JohnTaylor-bd1uy - What were "Heads of State" all over the globe riding in? Not a LS 400 to be found!!
🤔
W 140❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@JohnTaylor-bd1uy lmao. Lexus, a fake luxury car brand with a made-up word for its name. The irony is stylistically the LS400 in 1990 was Mercedes knockoff.
its time
The editing & production for this video was big bucks back in the day! MB spared no expense!
Richard Attenborough sez: “DAMN!”
Regarding quality they did not lie. The W201, W124 and W126 are still driving around all over the world, many exceeding 300.000 miles.
Fabian R You can drive any car for 1M miles. The question is, how much will it cost you? Old Mercedes were very good cars, but let’s not romanticize their long term reliability.
_Today's_ Mercedes are nothing but piles of unreliable junk! They are simply living off their *_past_* glory!
I had a 1990 190E as my first vehicle was 18 years old and smoked the tires everywhere i went... treated it like dirt not physically but didnt have the money to maintain it properly... it made it to 770,000 kms... theres no romanticizing anything its common fact any Mercedes Benz stamped with Daimler on it is rigorously tested and built to last.. I now own a 2003 E500 5.0 V8 vs everything
@@EAZYDUWZIT420 2003 was junk years of Mercedes. The company even admitted that the products were not up to their own standards. The previous generation E class (W210) cars were pretty solid.
W211 is one of the best engines they ever made lol? Anyone that owns a E class knows this, they use them as taxis in Germany... the only problem 2003 had was faulty radiators from Valero and they switched them out with Bosch and the braking system fails... that engine gets 500,000 miles all of the time, checkout legitstreetcars lol he owns 3 E500s E55s same engine transmission platform with well over 300,000 miles, and has been a master service tech for Mercedes for 20+ years... He only buys 2003-2007
Back in 2013, I was handed down a '93 E320 (W124) from my grandmother who was going to a nursing home.
The car was so nice I couldn't believe it was a 20 year old vehicle.
Something about the ride. It rides like i'm on a cloud or something. Engine had zero vibration. It was really quiet and comfortable. Even the power locks were operated by a vacuum pump, and it had such a nice sound and feel to it.
W124 was introduced in 1985... to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln, BMW and Jaguar models of that era. No comparison.
what happend to it?
I have an '89 260E........ amazing car! Quality without compromise.
I like the W126. The 560SEC looks beautiful.
This cars were truly built to last... the later models were build to profit!
+Goru Minosyan You can say that again. Sad that the company that invented the automobile now makes cars that get some of the lowest reliability ratings from Consumer Reports.
The enlarged version of the OM603 I-6 turbo diesel engine (larger bore and longer stroke) that was out the year this tape was issued had brought Mercedes down to its knees. Compared to the original 3.0L version sold in 1986-87, this engine had a bad reputation and came to be known as the "Rod Bender."
Couldn't agree more. Most of the W220s and W210s in my are are completely rusted out. Pretty sad! Even Jeremy Clarkson mentioned "Mercedes dealer service and reliability isn't what is use to be". He said this when he had a SL55 AMG and numerous problems with it.
Typical "old was better" bullshit. New Mercedes cars are better than ever before.
I was born and live today in Stuttgart. The man of evil was Jürgen Schrempp ... he was terrible, cutting cost everywhere leading to the rust and other quality issues on the W210, under his management the Mercedes A-Class tipped over in the Elch test which created a huge market backlash and lastly, he did the merger with Chrysler. And then he laid off a lot of skilled people.
Took Mercedes two decades to return to former standard, but by then, many others had caught up.
I feel Mercedes had more pride back then
And the cars were ugly LOL
@@slopmop1795 They weren't at the time. I mean, cars now will look ugly in 30 years.
Everyone did
today they might as well be Toyota or Honda.. Not that they are bad cars, its just that the difference these days is very slim.. In fact, in most cases the Japanese cars are way more reliable.. I drove a 1984 300D for 250K miles and a 1990 190E for a 140K miles and only had to change brake pads... Too much technology in the cars today.. a bad chip can ruin a car..
@@slopmop1795 couldn’t disagree more
Am I the only one who prefers these cars instead of today’s cars which are like the bridge of the Enterprise?
I lovs the 80"s and 90's MB. I have a 1987 300D turbo with 384K. I just bought a 1995 non turbo with 196K. I love both of my W124s!
It's great to see a video like this on youtube, Mercedes has come a long way. There were so few models available back then, and now there are so many.
Back in the day we couldn´t even think that 28 years later MB would have a pickup truck...
I just love the 90´s models, build to last a lifetime.
Uh, no. It was the '60s, '70s, and '80s Mercedes that were well built.
Robert Brandywine uh, you’re stupid
There was a G class pickup back then and aftermarket pickup conversions on the W115 and W123.
Back in the day when Mercedes-Benz actually was the best built, most reliable car on the road. I miss those days a lot.
You want reliability? Toyotas down the street
@@conqueringlion420 Ha! Toyota reliability has gone to hell. Where you been?
Quality and Excellence!
Asgqiekj
Love the SONDER @ 17:58!
A fine video, but Bill from AutoEuropa Naples has already explained the Benz nomenclature to me several times over, with far more enchantment and hilarity.
Good old fashioned hard work, taking responsibility by not cutting corners, brilliant QC and No excuses. Sometime in the 1990s Mercedes completely flushed their quality control down the toilet and have never been as good. I guess that's the reflection of the throwaway society we live in today 🙁
I think they're in a race with BMW to see who can make the ugliest car, and put the most plastic parts in temprature critical places.
This is freaking great...Little did they know what a disaster that 350sdl engine would be...The "rod bender" I have a 91 300d 2.5turbo...288k and is strong as ever. goes down the freeway like a freightrain at 85-90 everyday.. Best car ever...
Same I have the 1992 300d 2.5. 205k and runs like new
Fascinating, thanks for uploading!
The price value relationship is unique in the industry. It was then, and it is now. Truly you differentiate yourselves in the engineering department…
NICE cars ! my personal favorite Mercedes is a black 420 SEL from the late 80s - early 90s !
When quality was a priority, not bigger screens
Real impressive watching the workers putting on plastic door handles, plastic side mirrors, plastic crome-covered grill, and plastic bumper covers!
Back when MB didn't build planned obsolescence into their cars, and were worth every penny you paid for them, and actually retained their value.
Very informative. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for uploading this.
I love my 1990 r129 500sl , still a great car 👌🏼
Probably one of the best cars ever made from engineering, timeless styling and execution.
I love my 1990 260E!!!
Good Quality to produce.
That would be awesome if that driving simulator at 29:55 was still hanging around at their headquarters somewhere and fully functional.
the best or nothing!
Thanks for uploading, I love watching these old advertisements,, Lexus as well 👍👍
That E class wagon 👌
with this information I think the older Mercedes were properly built more belter
than the new one!!!
mull dezee wow learn how to spell and speak dumb ass!!
Not gonna lie that driving simulator at 29:55 looks badass and hella fun!
Since i read a lot about the narrators here and there are multiple - I think the main guy (first and last appearance in the video) is Paul Maxwell.
Look up „Aliens Debriefing (1986) Edited“ on UA-cam and tell me that‘s not him by the voice & looks.
'87 260 E Owner (and still runs just fine!)*knocks on wood*. These cars really were built like nothing else on the road. I miss the "form follows function" design. Now theyre designed to compete with lesser cars. At least the newest cars from Mercedes have gone back to a more regal design, and the engineering has come up leaps above where it was.
I've got an '87 r107 and can confirm. Nothing like it on the road.
I was really into watching this once I found it ... and when I heard Peter Thomas start narrating at 03:55, I was hooked.
Well done. thank you sir
I really like these as a causal viewing like a movie or a television show, the 80’s one was great
I love this old gold of Mercedes benz the most then todays any super car dear 😊❤
93 W140 400sel owner here! This was mesmerizing! Where did they go wrong?
Легенда мерседес 👍👍😍😍😎😎
Back in the 90's, when Mercedes was legendary for it's reliability... Unlike now.
Awesome cars were build back then, now we spend too much time and money on service and parts...
Thanks so much good sir.
Great video... so interesting. German engineering at work! Thanks for uploading it!
it is so great training.
Just hearing the name "Mercedes" or seeing the iconic 3-pointed star makes my heart race.
30:47 looks like hella fun to drive
06:22 Damn, that's going to be my next car!!
such beautiful cars!
190E 2.6😍😍😍
28:11 says it all for Mercedes today
Now I know how to sell 1980s AND 1990s Mercedes Benz
I’ve seen other videos about old Mercedes versus today’s and the comment that sticks out is, “Mercedes of this era are when engineers had say in the build of the vehicle, today the accounting department is in charge of the final product“
Nowadays when I walk into a dealership I know more about the cars then the salesperson.. almost selling the product to myself, just hand me the keys for a testdrive.
Back in the day a knowledge was a must! Therefore once you got a job (and it wasn't easy) a proper training and exams were provided at least twice a year, quite often organized by a factory itself. Today no one cares. Everyone can do the job. One rule - the cheaper, the better. And that's where the lack of knowledge and competence is coming from. 20 yrs in business and already tired of all this.
Used to be that automakers focused on building best cars. Now they focus on building most profitable financing schemes.
Voice from "How to win friends, and Influence People"audiobook =D the best!
all i really need is a benz 190e cruisin down the street with my homie bumping to the beat
Could I request to MB a new W124 for me in 2019?
*Всем владельцам Mercedes здоровья и благополучия ! 👍😎 Были W201,W140, теперь W124, 86 г "рождения".*
37:40. The music here was also used in the Compact Cassette that Chrysler used in the late 1980s to demonstrate the Infinity II sound system in such vehicles as the 1989 Dodge Grand Caravan.
Wow really impressed!!! Where do you get these videos?
Not yet. I'm always looking though!
They even brought in Peter Thomas, the voice-over actor from Forensic Files
I've never owned an MB but driven some prior. My fav is the W124 and gullwing.
A sweet gig. Being a Mercedes salesperson can’t be that difficult. They sell themselves:)
I am nearly 100% sure that the guy is Andrew MacMillan, who is also the narrator of the audio book version of "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
Nelson Chow I was wondering if it was that guy too. Such a recognizable and unique voice.
Some have suggested Peter Thomas, but I agree that the obit photo looks like the guy in this video.
29:43 the replacement secret model for the old-by-1990 S-class is given away at this mark
top of the line
I love my 1990 w124 300e. cold war era cars are the best.
Interesting choice of words. "Cold War era cars".👍
i watch this allmost 3 times
SO MANY NUMBERS!!!!
I was loving this until I realized the narrator is the same person that did Forensic Files, than I got scared
The purpose of the ABS design is to generate a series of pulses of maximum friction between the surfaces of both the wheel tires and the road during the deceleration of the car to reduce the stopping distance in half as well as increase the car's ability to turn with the least possible slippage on the road.
Yes...it is true indeed....nowadays benz are more looking for profit instead of quality...lost their..shape of originality &. Identity..more looks like east automobile..I'm so sorry I have say it..but deep in my heart the past mercedes in era 80's & 90's..are much better looks.
MrVolvo456 yea true now they look like Honda and toyota
🧡💛💚💙 Thanks UA-cam algorithm. I don't own a Merc but I enjoyed watching this video. I was born blind. 🧡💛💚💙
@ 16:44 - This happened around the time the world began to not make any sense .......
The reason i drive mercedes benz.. Thank you very much..
#MercedesBenz the mother of all cars
I'd have loved to be a salesman for those models. I'd be proud to offer customers something I am confident in. NONE of the car dealers I've tested in my area seem attached to the brand. They're just there to sell and don't care what they sell. A shame really, as you can't associate with a brand any more
54:28 - how times have changed.
Ah the good old days of Daimler-Benz. When Mercedes Benz actually meant substantially more than just a badge.
Wow good
They built solid cars for bank managers and doctors. Even their supercars were distinguished only by the boot badge. BMW were a tad flash and bought by dodgy criminal lawyers and junk bond salesmen. Mercedes apparently decided they would compete with BMW rather than sticking to their own niche................
I have more faith in these cars than any of the new cars out today
22:16 Diesel re-introduction video! I want to see that!
(سبحان الله العلي العظيم ) علم الأنسان ما لم يعلم
This is spooky in ways that I cannot comprehend.
I love how ritzy the into feels.
At this stage MB was the finest automobile in the world, engineering was tops, after 1995 it all went downhill.
Yes, even if Lexus took over for MY 1990, they were relatively spartan at the high end. JDM got the high tech, ultimate luxury for the rear seats.
MB included both. I'm a BMW guy, but I will forever regret not getting an W222 S65 AMG over my M760i xDrive.
W222 came the closest to emulating that past feel and is way better than my 760 even in S560 grade. Oh well, just couldn't justify paying full price for a $200k+ AMG over a discounted 760.
man that W124 and W126 so sexy and beautiful design
The last generation of real heavy duty Mercedes vehicles meant to schlep around everywhere from Africa to the Middle East. They were all really great vehicles that were completely over-engineered. It seems Mercedes may finally be going back to their old ways with the recent model reveals. The last part of the 90s and early 2000s were terrible for MB. Their purchase of Chrysler nearly drove them to bankruptcy and quality plummeted.
Quality plummeted independent of Chrysler, but correct indeed.
Thank you Great Germany for my W 163 ! Salute from russia .
