100% right Vito. I remember when I first got my W115 240D. The people at my work said no way you will be able to drive a car that old everyday. They said you should get a new car. I told them my old 76 Mercedes would still be going when their car was in the crusher. Time had proven my right. The most reliable car I ever have owned is my 44 year old Mercedes.
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your story! Save Old School Mercedes! Never listen to what others say because they'll never understand.. Those people will drive boring sad Toyotas for life! Great job on saving Classic Benzes! W115 is a legend!
I enjoy your passion. I recently got my first Mercedes, a '79 300SD to be my daily driver and family car. With 168k, I consider it only partway through its life, and I'll drive it for years to come.
Vitto's Garage Pierre Hedary and Stray Benzes are the BEST sources on the internet for classic Mercedes. Such humble and awesome guys who ACTUALLY care about helping and preserving these cars. Unlike Kent Burgsma cough cough*** Mercedes source only cares about making $ and buying the nicest examples. Thank you!!!!
I 100% agree with every statement you made!! Alot of people junk them because they don't think they have any worth. It's sad man , I even get upset when I see a classic Benz that had potential to being something unique just junked and looked at worthless.
Everything you said is true and I am very sad to see some mercedes owner leave their cars under trees or behind their house. When we offer to buy them and intend to restore them the price they offer is ridiculous. But prefer to let their car rusted and abundant them rather than selling it to us cheap. I still own a w123 280TE 1984, W126 280SEL 1983, AND R129 SL320 and I love the all. Thanks for your nice video. I am from malaysia
Great speech I love to see a young man like you loving this cars. I’m 61 years old and own 3 190 E currently including a 2.3 16v and I feel very proud. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Purchased my first w124 on valentines day 24’, went with my personal mechanic, bought it from an old Dominican gentleman. I admire your passion for these machines.
Thanks a lot for your videos, I'm a classic Benz addict and I recently bought a 1989 190E which I've been having a hard time replacing the rear suspension: bushings, coil springs, shocks, tires, etc. to make the ride feel brand new, it's quite costly but it's REALLY WORTH it............. All the love from Kigali, Rwanda!
100% support to your statement Vito! My Mercedes W124 5 cylinders diesel was quite cheap when I bought it, with 320 000 km and I have some work to do on it, but really I don't care, I want just to enjoy driving that nice classic Benz! If I would not buy it, I really think that it would maybe be the end of its life... but I saved it! Work is in progress to give it a new life, and I keep driving it every day to go work and it is just amazing!
I run into several issues, I either have the time to work on my cars, or I have the money to purchase the parts I need. There also is a point of no return with a vehicle. Where saving it isn't really feasible. I've purchased more than one Mercedes from a junkyard. Often times you just need to ask, I saw a half decent 300d in a yard once, went to the front desk and said listen, I want that whole car, whats it gonna cost me? They said its been here a week, we're crushing it tomorrow, the trans is bad, if you can get it out of there by tomorrow we'll give it to you for $300, thats what we'll get for the scrap tomorrow when we crush it. They handed me the keys, I filled the trans with fluid, I started it up, cycled the shifter, topped up the trans, and drove it to the front building. handed them $300 and drove home, my dad drove that car for 3 or 4 years with basically no issues. A sadder story of where saving one isn't practical: I was given a 95 E300D, and after spending about 5 grand on parts (No labor cost, I'm a full time mechanic, so no shop was involved) I had been able to drive the car for about 3 weeks out of the entire year, every single time I'd get it fixed, I'd take it for a drive, and it would break down and leave me stranded somewhere. Towards the end I was getting frustrated, I was dealing with suspension parts snapping in half when I found that the front spring perches were rusting loose from the car, and also cylinder 5 and 6 valve seats were receding into the head, along with a laundry list of other major issues, while all the silly creature comforts worked fine, heated seats, power locks, sunroof, windows, central locking? yep, all worked, but the engine and chassis were falling to pieces very quickly, at that point I still didn't scrap the car, but sold it along with all the receipts, spare set of wheels and tires, a whole trunk full of brand new parts and full disclosure of the issues it had, but it did run and drive, the gentleman that bought it was debating between fixing it, or buying another identical car and using all the new parts I had on that car turning "black" into a parts car. Either way it wasn't wasted. Around then I purchased a 82 300D, it had been shiestered up a bit, fresh paint, they hid a lot of rust, but the car was ok for the most part, since then I have done a 4 speed swap, 2.88 diff swap, k26 turbo and a mountain of other improvements and while in that process of fixing up "grey" I was given another 82 300D which had some engine issues, needed a new cam, followers and some other top end stuff because the turbo drain was leaking and it ran low on oil.
One of the most inspiring you- tube videos I have ever seen, thank you. Now I feel motivated to replace rusted out rear fuel hard-line on my 82 turbo diesel. The way they unload the rock-salt here in Boston MA at the slightest snowfall is ridiculous.
What a what a great comment on these cars I have my 260e 1989 and I'm never going to sell it I will continue to watch Vito's garage and want to be in touch with him at some point to ask him on different phases of my car repair I'll be back to watch all the shows
I have a completely rust free mint condition 88 260e (among other MB’s lol) with low miles that I only got to drive for a few months until my transmission died. She still gets compliments just sitting in the driveway when I take the cover off and it’s shining in the sun lol. Been searching for a transmission to put in and get her back on the road Ugh
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your stories! Save Old School Mercedes! Let's continue providing love to these cars! I appreciate all you do!
@@chrisromanczuk1468 Keep working on it and never give up! She'll be so amazing one day! Once you're done with repairs, don't forget to preserve the rockers and other parts to prevent any future rust!
@@anewk9868 amazing story, sir! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for not giving up on these legends! I recommend just sending the transmission for a rebuild, so they can install all new seals and gaskets as well as clutch packs etc.. ☺ And then you'll have a trans that will last forever.
Great video Vito! I’m looking forward to meeting you. You mentioned the stray dogs finding good owners, perhaps that’s why the 20 or so Mercedes cars ended up with me lol. Just need more time to work on them now.
Vito thank you for sharing this topic. I wish you weren't on the other side of the country. Spent my Sunday working on the 79 240D and felt great at the end!
Because of these videos,am looking for a w123 and w124.they are in certain garages abandoned. Am going to get one this month . love from East Africa uganda
This is guy is the real deal I had an issue with my 91 350SD he helped me out a ton. On the money point, I feel like it’s not about the money, if you’re an enthusiast and you like to drive cars it will cost you money to upkeep your car and care for it so that lasts a long time. Thanks just how it is, if you don’t like spending money on cars use uber, it’s really that simple. I do agree classic mercs are in that category where they should not be thrown away. People who know appreciate them.
great video, you’re more than right. i’m such a huge fan of those cars i can’t explain it more. recently i had a lot of situations where i had to leave a note on the car because i felt so bad for the cars that were just sitting there. i left one at a 190e as well, a beauty. they at least contacted me back, they are going to restore it and told me they had it their family for 30 years. Then a while after I found 3 w124’s all in pretty bad condition that have been sitting there for over 2 years. I had the chance to talk to the owner that dropped them off. When i asked him to sell me one of them for me to restore it he told me a ridiculous high of a price. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to pick it up. I wish. Still driving my dads old Renault but I can’t wait to be able to safe my dream classic mercedes and drive it foreveeer.
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your story! Save Old School Mercedes! And I know, sometimes people want to sell cars like that for a high price. Don't worry, you'll have an old school Mercedes pretty soon, just keep working towards it. Greetings from USA!☺
I’m a hoarder of sorts because I have a 86 560 SEL, two 1972 250Cs, a 1969 220d, 1983 and 1984 300SD, 1988 260E, 97 & 98 E320’s, 2003 E500, and service them all myself. I’m looking for a transmission for my 88 260E because it’s the only one not able to use on the road unfortunately. They are all head turners in their own right and very easy to work on so don’t be intimidated! Take your time and learn your Benz! #Salute
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your story! Save Old School Mercedes! You can send a transmission for a rebuild. That'd be the best thing to do, sir, in my opinion. Cheers!
Have you tried making a deal with the junkyards where those cars are, get them running again, so they can still be on the road, it is not like a Mercedes Benz owner, going to go to the junkyard, when you can still get parts from the dealer or from somebody that might have parts to keep those cars going.
Weekend Was working on my 211 steering tilt coupling. The coupling cost about $6.00 and to replace it you need at least 2-3hrs if it’s your first time. Next time I’m changing the air supsension springs
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your story! Save Old School Mercedes! W211 at this point is slowly getting to that stage of old school Mercedes
Just recently bought a 1991 190E 2.6L with 174k miles on her. She palpitates or has some sort of heart murmur when she is idling in drive, does not sound good... when you get going though she seems to get better. Going in to shop tomorrow, hoping she is an easy fix. I really like her
Does your father still have Mercedes Benz, that you sent him that he did some work, on, it would be interesting, if he still has it when he gets the W123 it would be nice to see both cars together.
On the highway often times I pass these $30-$60 cars and trucks broken down on the side of the highway. My 1995 C280 popped a hose twice so far and I drove it home it never overheated, has a bad head gasket for years now and drives from NJ to NY and back. With a cheap Mercedes no car payments and really cheap full coverage insurance
Old Mercedes Classic are friendship for live. My greetings from Berlin Germany . Vito dort give up you videos an works for you r Channel. Vito or nothing 😂
Hey Vito, I recently purchased a 91 300e, 120000 miles, been sitting for around 3 years. I knew the car didn’t start when I purchased it but I couldn’t pass on the deal. Anyway, the car cranked but didnt start so I bypassed the fuel pump relay within the MAS module, now the car starts but runs pretty rough for about 10 seconds and shuts off. Does this mean I need a new MAS module ? I’m planning to check the fuel pump pressure and possible change injector+spark plugs and few other things but should I replace the MAS first ?
Commenting again to add a bit more detail. I’ll most likely replace both the fuel pumps since the car shuts off after a few seconds, and drain out the old gas, do an oil and filter change before replacing spark plugs /injectors. Hopefully this fixes most of the issues, bought the car for $1000 Canadian, hoping I can get her running smooth for another $1500 or less
Hi Veto. I am looking for a driver front side jack point plastic cover for my 1991 190E, do you have one or can get one for me, if there are junkyards near you maybe you get one, I will pay you. Thanks and great videos.
Agree, a few weeks ago i brought my kids to the doctor, spent like an hour, when i came back, the guy that controls the parking lot praised my 98' C250 TURBODIESEL WAGON, he said that these cars were built to last, not like these new junk korean, brazilian (very popular here in Paraguay) and japaneese cars that fall apart at 100.000km (wich i agree), i told him the car has 391.000 kilometers and the guy loved it even more I agree with the brazilian cars opinion, my friend has a 06 VW GOL (not GOLF) that's a entry level economy car here in south america, now iy has TONS of electrical gremlins, the connectors are disintegrating, fuses blow up pretty commonly, they are CRAP
I know there are comparatively bigger problems in the world, but I feel like preserving these cars is equivalent to making sure your kid hears The Beatles or Beethoven, or reads Shakespeare.
I'm enjoying all the different comments on the Mercedes I'm Mark turba and you know it's interesting to know the kind of story that I could say on when I got mine and it was in a boneyard junkyard called pull and pick and pull and the story was because my friend needed a part for his car in a raining two covid days when it was really bad terrible weather I found this car in ill condition but not not really there for that reason kind of stupidly giving away but I'll tell you this what a fine and I want to tell Vito the story later anyway to Greg comments I really enjoyed the show
these mercedes in comparison to like the nissan skyline, makes you kinda laugh when you put em side by side. HP sells cars. Torque Wins races , somthing like that? lol.
Most of the Classic Benzes were made for you to cruise with luxury on the autobahn and to feel like a king. You also forgot about amazing big tank W140 S600 and all the options it has. Now let me laugh when you put this car next to your Skyline!
Come on man, let's argue about this. I'll throw you another car. W126 560SEL. Finally, I want to put a W123 300D next to your Skyline and guess who's gonna win? The one who will go a million miles. And that'll be a W123
@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle i won't finish restoring? Just wait buddy, it'll be done! It'll look fantastic! I'll damn outchallenge you. I am gonna be honest with you, you're getting on my nerves.

I’ll most likely replace both the fuel pumps since the car shuts off after a few seconds, and drain out the old gas, do an oil and filter change before replacing spark plugs /injectors. Hopefully this fixes most of the issues, bought the car for $1000 Canadian, hoping I can get her running smooth for another $1500 or less
Hello sir. So sorry for responding late. Send me a message on Instagram if you have one: vitosgarageyoutube. It’ll be easier to talk on there
Got a S124 from 1995. Demands time and money and gives troubles and surprises. But the car is second to none. Das beste oder nichts.
They are 30-40 years old. We must give them love and care that they deserve. Thank you for doing this!❤
Oh yes i grab it at pic an pol Lynnwood WA ajunk car yard i thank you ill try get ahold of you . These are great car s
Save them, drive them, enjoy them 😎👌
Thank you! That's what we do☺
Hi Veto. I am looking for a driver front side jack point plastic cover for my 1991 190E, do you have one or can get one for me, if there are junkyards near you maybe you get one, I will pay you. Thanks and great videos.
Hi sir! I'll look around. I know that I have a few jack hole covers for W140. They might work on 190E. I need to find out
Thanks Vito
Agree, a few weeks ago i brought my kids to the doctor, spent like an hour, when i came back, the guy that controls the parking lot praised my 98' C250 TURBODIESEL WAGON, he said that these cars were built to last, not like these new junk korean, brazilian (very popular here in Paraguay) and japaneese cars that fall apart at 100.000km (wich i agree), i told him the car has 391.000 kilometers and the guy loved it even more
I agree with the brazilian cars opinion, my friend has a 06 VW GOL (not GOLF) that's a entry level economy car here in south america, now iy has TONS of electrical gremlins, the connectors are disintegrating, fuses blow up pretty commonly, they are CRAP
Amazing! That’s very true about old school Mercedes! Keep loving your car! Never give up on it!
@@VITOSGARAGE agree
I know there are comparatively bigger problems in the world, but I feel like preserving these cars is equivalent to making sure your kid hears The Beatles or Beethoven, or reads Shakespeare.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Don’t forget ALASKA, I love the older BENZ
I'm enjoying all the different comments on the Mercedes I'm Mark turba and you know it's interesting to know the kind of story that I could say on when I got mine and it was in a boneyard junkyard called pull and pick and pull and the story was because my friend needed a part for his car in a raining two covid days when it was really bad terrible weather I found this car in ill condition but not not really there for that reason kind of stupidly giving away but I'll tell you this what a fine and I want to tell Vito the story later anyway to Greg comments I really enjoyed the show
Thank you so much for supporting and thank you for sharing your story! Save Old School Mercedes!❤
these mercedes in comparison to like the nissan skyline, makes you kinda laugh when you put em side by side. HP sells cars. Torque Wins races , somthing like that? lol.
Sorry man, you forgot about amazing W124 E500. Put this car against your Skyline and then laugh. W124 E500 has a lot beefier body too
Most of the Classic Benzes were made for you to cruise with luxury on the autobahn and to feel like a king. You also forgot about amazing big tank W140 S600 and all the options it has. Now let me laugh when you put this car next to your Skyline!
Come on man, let's argue about this. I'll throw you another car. W126 560SEL.
Finally, I want to put a W123 300D next to your Skyline and guess who's gonna win? The one who will go a million miles. And that'll be a W123

Buying a cheap old mercedes is expensive... if you pay a mechanic to work on the car
It’s still cheaper to pay the mechanic and to have a reliable car forever than paying payments for a new car that will barely make it to 100k miles..
Maybe when you get older, you will understand.
Understand what?

When you finish restoring the 190. Which you won't, you'll understand.
@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle i won't finish restoring? Just wait buddy, it'll be done! It'll look fantastic! I'll damn outchallenge you. I am gonna be honest with you, you're getting on my nerves. Not trying to be mean, but I run away from people who are negative and who discourage me from doing what I love and from loving these cars.
