If Ben Affleck and Mike Myers had a baby! 😂🤣 Cool review man, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I've had an LR3 years ago and we just bought our Range Rover. Drove an hour down the highway and it was almost too plush and floating. At the exit, switched from "comfort" mode to "dynamic" and wow! What a difference in performance and feel.
Good video, infotainment is important but you need to go into detail about the available options on infotainment systems
I want to own one the Amg E63s am looking for a seller am in kenya
I saw a $400,000 Bentley selling for 79K they want to look online
You need to ask yourself, how much power and speed do you need when you live in the U.S.? 0-60 in 3.2 seconds is pretty fast. I have the 2023 Hybrid Parnamara 4 and it drives like a dream and holds the road like the wheels are eagle talons. Do you ever need to go over 88 miles and hour by while passing a car on a back road. Maybe, but if you do the Panamara 4 can do it in about 4 seconds trust me I know.
wow prices jumped in a year. base of a macan is 69k now.
Imma own that car one day
Anything with a good warranty
Today you need two insurance policies for cars
Thanks for sharing man. Been on the fence about a used s560. Definitely disappointing to see such an issue with a car at this price point. Strange that they can't find where the entry point of all that water is.
That's what I'd like to replace it with, it's not they couldn't find it. It's that to continue the insurance company wrote it off as a loss. Did not want to pay for the interior tear down
Your VIN ended in 007760. That means you were within the first 8000 vehicles or in other words within the first few months of production of this model. That is the main reason why you had so many issues. Btw the maintenance schedule says that all drains should be checked at every 10k mls service. If this was caused by a clogged drain, then the dealer servicing it didn’t do what they charged for. Happens pretty frequently though. Next time you buy a Mercedes, stay away from the first, or better yet, the first two years of production. That’ll usually save you from taking it into the shop all too often.
I always service at the dealership and they never checked the drains. Your right I found out my production number also put me within the engines that suffered the most from cylinder scoring too. Thanks for the advice!
i have a 2019 with 18k. did a renntech ecu upgrade. Mama!! midrange pull is insane. my forever car.
In Europe, Mercedes is known for reliability. You just need to do proper maintenance.
I over maintain but the dealerships here just aren't that good. Took 4 times to get valve cover gaskets sealed
So many more examples
I'm still dreaming! 😅
This happened to my BMW. My drains got clogged and flooded my computer systems. Two computers replaced. Cost me 3K
That sucks wish I could a spent that to keep it on the road. Did the issues stop after
@JamesSalvatore They did. I had a computer in the truck and under the hood. I was living in two different cities, and the car did a lot of sitting.
Sounds like you got a bit of a lemon. The S coupe is pretty much the same as the S sedan under the skin especially electrics. They are not maintenance free for sure but the problems you have had sound excessive.
Trust me they were, despite that when it worked almost no other car drives better
I had 2019 2SS Camaro that was the same way man. It doesn’t matter some cars are good some are bad. ALWAYS have a warranty. I now have 2016 Mercedes which I meticulously searched for and went through with a fine toothed comb. Hands down better quality and great experience. And I have a warranty and I bought it outright.
I wish you luck with this one, hopefully the next one is a good one
150k ???? You can pick up this car for under 40k 🙄🙄
Not new
Definitely under 40 with water damage 😂
Im sorry that happened. Tbh modern cars have so many modules and wiring there is to much to go wrong with extorsionate labour rates it just isnt feasible to run one out of warranty. The S Class is not an exception to such problems even simple golfs suffer from the same stuff...JLR products are even worse they leak through the windscreen😭its just a lot. I dont think the S-Class is a bad car though, it just has a lot of shit to make it the best car in the world. If you have 10 things instead of 1 thing for example that means 10 things can break so it seems like things are always breaking but its actually just the demands of owning and enjoying such beautiful machinery. I do recognise that modern design and build quality has become far less superior than the days of the legends. Plastic everything in the engine bay, poorly designed drains, weak seals are all unacceptable😐. Would I still buy one yes...am I crazy again yes but so is every other car enthusiats who pours money into their ever depreciating machine😂 like they say we all know if you want faithful reliability lexus/toyota will always be the way to go.
Yep said is the curse of being an enthusiast
You didn't pay $150K for that car bro 🤣
Once German cars get to 50k, get rid of it unless you're rich 😂
For real they are designed to work within that and break
I see this ending up with @WaldosWorld (bought an S550 similarly totaled and after a few minor fixes got a great car). Sorry for your bad luck!
I'm sure someone will, but in my case I'm not a hands on guy. I understand how the systems work but don't turn a wrench myself. Even once it dried out it was still not functioning so I let it go
@@JamesSalvatore agree totally, even with ability and understanding, this is something you want to walk away from without looking back…leave it for the resellers and tinkerers to sort out.
Don't buy a new car - even Mercedes has gone to sheit. Buy older, save money and get a better quality product.
I agree I don't even want a new one, I have a 2003 SL and that has 165 k miles. They were just built better back then
@@JamesSalvatore More videos on that please!
What kind of topics would you like to see covered?
@@JamesSalvatore I dunno if that's true. They had 10 things to go wrong back then. Now they have 1,000 things to go wrong that are all interconnected.
😂 I do agree with that these cars are so complex
Lol , like most you don't know how to drive a 10R80. If you want the car to perform put it in sport mode and the gear selector in S..
Are you kidding it's a Lamborghini
The Coupe will most likely be my next upgrade to my S-Class saloon. I will aim for a fully loaded example or the highest spec I can afford depending on availability. As a result I may have to settle for a pre-facelift S63/S500 although I may push the boat out a bit for a S560
Wait for my video tomorrow before getting it. This car was a basket case for me just dont do it
Well done vid broski, you definitely helped me make my decision 👊🏽👊🏽💯
Wait for my video tomorrow before getting it. This car was a basket case for me just dont do it
Oh damn for real??! I currently own a 2014 CL 550 that I bought about 5yrs ago with 30k miles. Since them Ive put thousands and thousands of dollars into it. I love it but its turned into a money pit. Was hoping to sell it and get the newer version just like yours sometime this summer. Cant wait to see your vid, thx!
It's up but yep I can see the cl being just as bad you know what your getting into then
Does it have launch control? I am wondering cuz im curious

Nice deal sleds
Me want. Great review
I rode in a macan with 3 adults and a baby very nice and and comfortable I go for the macan ❤😅
I’m on my third one since 2018. I drive a ton cross-country & they have been flawless. One issue with the 2018’s oil cooler gasket, but the dealership was great. Out of warranty came to $1400. So happy. Considered the QV, but it’s had too many issues. May get the Levante Trofeo. I’m older and need to be cushy more. Very reliable, as well.
What a nice review 🏆🙏🏾, now let me go work harder because this lovely v8 won’t buy itself 😭
This car is amazing. But it lacked fog lights and rear door curtains. So much yet the small things count.
Thanks for the review! Gathering everything i need to manifest my winning of a white one for me 🙂
80eighty huh? Me too!
Can’t wait for the 2024 !
Dude that Macaaaaaaaaaan you just drove with the snappy engine really stoked me and as it’s a Porshaaaaaaaaaaaaaa then you identified they do not “ cheap out! “… 🤓
@11:00 Nope. I've got a 2019 and I prefer the previous instrument cluster. The P300 is a rear wheel drive w/296hp turbo (not AWD). She's plenty fast and handles better than the other models because there is less weight over the front axle.
The other cars are not significantly faster ... they're about 0.3 seconds quicker to 100kmh ... or a couple of seconds a lap on track! Save yourself a ton of cash and buy the Carrera.
Great vid and comparison
The better question is should you get the 4S over the Turbo or Turbo S?
amazes me how Gavin Newsom and the Socialist Left want to take the smile off people's faces, getting rid of V8 engines for their woke agenda of total control. i'm buying a 2020 Range Rover Sport tomorrow (v8) and will continue to defy the Left, with a huge grin every time I floor it ;-)
Reviews of this car often express concern about older drivers and the technology. I am 66 years old and recently purchased a 2024 S Class. My generation lived through constant modification of technology. We have to keep up. There is nothing difficult about the technology in the S Class. In fact, all the new stuff is fun. What's the point of getting a new car if it's just like the old car?
You scared me off…:(
I have never wanted to make a bad financial decision more than I want to make one by purchasing this car
searched the car, picked the year closest to 2024 =quantitatively great review.
great video
