“You’ll experience the most luxurious car-crash ever.” LMFAO I DIED
Same
This review is way too good
"Get off my property" "I need this spot, move your car now!!" lol I love the trouble he gets into just to make a video!
its pretty brave to tell an s class owner to get off any property 😂
i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Darian Genesis instablaster :)
@Stanley Xander thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Stanley Xander it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
You ,my friend,are the most underrated youtuber ever ... hope u get to 100k soon
I'm on a binge of his videos now, pure gold. I hope he blows up in popularity!
This is hella entertaining and informative at the same time
Daniel, I have watched many car reviews and from different presenters, Chriss Harriss, Clarkson, Matt from carwow, even Doug. But I got to say.. you are talented and this review was one of the most entertaining I have ever seen! :) I think you should carry on with car review stuff! Thanks!
This is my first time seeing this guy, he's definitely DIFFERENT,but really KNOWLEDGEABLE,really good review my man...The editing and graphics were SUPERB.... MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS IS KING 👑.....
I’ve been waiting for this video since you’ve released the cost of ownership for your W220. Now I’ll enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed watching the already mentioned video. Keep ‘em coming! 😁
Damn that was awesome! I'm moving from the W220 to the W221 and I've watched countless videos. This was the first to be equally entertaining and informative. Thank you!
Truly awesome video brother really appreciate all the work you put into this .
I watched this video three weeks ago and I had to go back into my search history to find this you did a phenomenal job thank you so much
stay safe stay healthy
I have been a s class owner for a long time,my first s class was a 96 s500 that I parked with 429,000 km.Last years I bought my 2012 s550 with 90,000km.Its a black short wheelbase model with night vision.Its a dream to drive especially after I bought my Renntech tuner,with 705 lbs of torque it pushes you back in the seat hard.Ive put on 15,000 trouble free km on her now and look forward to putting on lots more.Great video by the way,Cheers from Calgary!
Great sense of humor Daniel!! I watched your first video with your other MB and it was very well done. Keep up the info and the sense of humor!!
LMAO! Excellent video! I heard about your channel from Scotty. You're better than most car reviewers. If you can review new vehicles like Doug DeMuro, savage geese and Redline Reviews to name a few, you would have a huge channel. You got some talent for this.
You are a comic genius. Always a good time! You also give me hope in regards to hopefully not regretting getting my c207 chassis. Just about done sorting out the dreaded 2nd owner syndrome out of it. Respect!
Excellent review! Thanks from Brazil. I have a w210 E430 B4 Guard. Dreaming about the w220 you reviewed before and this w221.
Congrats! Great video! You're a natural bro. Looking forward to many more...
Excellent 221 review, maybe you weren’t a motivated seller but I’m glad you kept it! I wish you could do a video every week.
A damn good video been wanting a s class for years I’m going for it thank again I loved the break downs overall I’m going for a 2014 and up
Best review I’ve seen in my life lmao ! You’ve convinced me
Excellent VIDEO. Love the sense of humor. Well done comrade
Excellent work you have done with this video. Thank you!
Why we have to wait 3 months for a new video man.....
This sold me. I subbed this is quality content.
Wow man.... just wow lol I appreciate the work that went into this vid
Even if you know nothing about cars; this guy's presentation is worth the while!! Love it.
Love your vid man, quality stuff right here
great video and love your delivery. You just got yourself a subscriber
It is a really interesting video , I really really enjoy in every single minutes of this show . Keep it up bro 👏
Funny video! Well done mate!
How ever I don't trust this brand anymore. Those new Mercedes can break down on you anytime.
I know exactly what you mean I bought a 2007 CL550. Definitely steer away from the first year . That being said I still love my car. I should have started a CZcams video channel on repairing it. I replace all the door speakers every window regulator motor the ECM and transmission . The door panels started to sag. Don't get me started on the suspension Which is the ABC system. I had my seat bladders go out twice.
Hey man do you recommend it for someone who earns 80k per year?
@@zaker600 definitley, that's a good amount.
You have the most descriptive and accurate videos ever
Enjoy your videos. Entertainingly informative. Subscribed and thank you.
Great video! Entertaining & informative. I would invest in some type of extended warranty if I bought one of these Benzs. Pretty sure over the course of four years it would pay for itself. Thanks for letting us know the cost of repairs. Keep up the good work!!
Great video dude, just added an 07 S500 to my family... love your style!
Dude the fact that you also listen to boom 97.3 when driving your sclass is what sold me!! Like!
Hey I just saw your Scotty Kilmer video n really liked how u showed off the cars interior details. Don't know if anyone else does that but, I think it could be your Big thing! I'm subscribing to ur channel n hope to see more like that. Maybe go a tad slower n few more seconds of of each detail. I dig the details! Good Luck.👍✌🤑
I am shopping one of these for next year for the wife. This video has pretty much been my buyers guide and classroom for the W221.
Fantastic and extremely helpful video - thank you !!
This is so entertaining 😂 and informative at the same time. I am certainly convinced.
Dude your videos are fantastic!
Gratful for the video. I am truly concerned with the 2012 and 2013 years. Can you do a vid with detailed focus on those years? including your opinion on the s63 . Thanks
Your video is really funny and witty ....kept me laughing the entire time
I subscribed because I think you deserve it. I would’ve loved more info but the video has plentiful!
Watching from Kenya in Africa. You are damn good my man. Keep it up
Daniel, it was your videos on the W220 and 221 that influenced me to by one of each over the last 8 years. I have re- watched each of them annually as they are so entertaining and refuel my passion for the car.
I have really enjoyed both, and done a lot of repairs on both. Basically fixed all the common issues on each one. One thing I learned is that it is cheaper to buy the best maintained one than to fix up the cheap one. Oh, and you will enjoy the car better if you are driving it more than you are under it. Next time I might follow this advice.
So... Where is the W222 video? They are hitting ideal depreciation and the prices of cars are finally getting back to reasonable. Now's your time my friend.
Super luv to hear it!
Thing is, the w221 has been treating me good for a while now. We tight.
But
I am curious about w222 prices and will have a look.
Thnx!
This the most in depth car review I’ve ever seen
Nice video & entertaining, I agree 07 and 08 model have a problem with the gearbox
W220 the best
Dude, you're going to blow up..
Great Video .. like the one for S430 !
Real good video, and your from Toronto even better.. good work I’m buying one will update
Very nice video! The work around for the '07 issues? Buy the S600. How do I know? There will be a video on mine very soon. You, my friend have a new sub! Keep up the good work!
AMAZING VIDEO!!! I LOVED ITT
Great Video!! No short cuts!!!!
Went looking for an honest review and got sold a car by a funny ass fellow Canadian.
Love your video
I have an s550 2013 and I don’t know how to close the trunk from inside the car can you tell me how it’s done.
I’ve had Lexus, BMW and Audi autos and this s class is by far the best of them all.
i just discovered you channel, and damn your videos are fire 😂
Amazing video! Glad that you want her to be happy 😆
your sarcasm is top notch, cant figure out if you hate mercs or love them
I like the way that you made your videos.
Enjoyed that a lot more than i thought i would.
Using THIS video as my MAIN guide (out of many), I FINALLY found 95% of my dream spec and the provenance of previous ownership that I was looking for just 30 minutes from my house and decided to pull the trigger. Almost walked due to no AWD, but realized I'd spend the next 6 months trying to recreate the deal right under my nose, now, plus everything else about the situation was simply too sweet to walk;
One owner. Family matriarch who spec'd the car new from the MB dealership and dealer maintained at all intervals. All records. Car fax spectacular, clean title, no wrecks. Previous owner took it to the dealer if a bird pooped on it. Maintained in this manner until he died in November, 2023. Every last record, new tires, two keys, no wrecks, pano-roof, piano black. Disappointed he skipped the rear seat package, but the rear does have the automatic shades all around. AMG appearance package. I didn't want these AMG 20's, (AMG wheels are soft. Bend too easy), but damn they rock. As promised, (threatened?), in a previous thread, I had them shave the S550 badge at the detailer before I ever brought her home. Naturally aspirated.
Lovely car, my 6th Benz and 3rd S-Class. The true successor to the W140 in my mind. Thanks for 5 years of (hilarious!) guidance in this purchase!
best cutting and review skills i ever see on youtube so far ! This video is a masterpiece
w140 review coming soon:)
vid finally ready! czcams.com/video/jAiQ_73jbOs/video.html
Love the video dude , next time you at MB Oakville come drop by parts and say hello.
Thanks!
Definitely will.
Very cool Daniel!!
Loved my W221 2008 S550 lwb, it was black on beige. Bought it with 89,000 kms in January 2016! Drove it everywhere and had never experienced such luxury! Only had a few tiny problems, but the biggest issue was when the front right air strut went out, decided to get both fronts replaced and was fine after that. Sold it 2 months ago with 172,000 kms!!! Absolutely loved it, gonna upgrade to a 2011 S450 with 58,000 kms and drive it till 200,000 kms!
I love my 2007 S550 as well but am having issues with my front struts. I have replaced the front right strut when I bought the car 24 months ago and then replaced the front left strut about 10 months back. I bought both brand new cheap on ebay ($125 each). I guess I got what I paid for. As soon as I turn off the engine, the front of the car starts to slowly go down ( I can hear slow clicking sounds). My indy says I need new struts. What do you recommend? The MB originals are over $1200. Do you recommend a good pair of aftermarkets or used?
@@bhasins Arnott is one of the best to go to. There not bad price wise, high quality. Used is also good, me personally id find mint used pairs as there much cheaper.
Dude you have so entertaining weird shit that everybody has to love it \,,/ Vielen Dank
Entertaining and it answered most of my questions
Awesome review!! Top notch.
This channel deserves more subscribers.
Was on the fence about buying a W221. Now I'm sold.
I enjoyed this very much!
Great video bro 👍
AC DC performing all kind of electrical malfunction sending me on the highway to the workshop LMFO 🤣🤣
just subscribed.. hello from Latvia you are making entertaining videos
Awesome video! Just got another subscriber 👍
I just got a 07 S550 with AMG package after getting rid of my 2011 BMW 550i GT. The Mercedes has a more reliable engine and drives less sporty but much comfortable than my bimmer.
I got ESP and ABS warning light on and it turns out to be a wheel speed sensor.
Also, the 07 model is suffering a valve body issue that could cost you $3k to repair. Hopefully you won't go through it.
Good job on this video 👏🏻
great vid keep it up
Brilliant Just Brilliant - Big Thumbs up from the UK ;)
Damn I needed to see this video 2 weeks ago i bought a 2007 w221 s550 2 weeks ago with 100k miles... After this I just keep it parked next to my house because its beautiful.
Why do u keep it parked
What a great video!! Cheers!
Man where you been lol great video
my w221 has 161556,51 miles on his back from 2007, still love it :))
Awesome Video!!👍 Stereo camera isn’t on the w221 tho
I saw this video when it came out and decided I wanted a 13', but not at $30k. Two years later, I got one for almost half that with 88k miles. Depreciation is an amazing thing lol
I appreciated all of this, stills says stay away LOL, but this was great, Now...when Im ready for my S550 4matic I'll be sure to reach out to you 1st.
Excellent review
Just discovered your channel, I wish I had before, 10/10 would subscribe again!
Daniel, Great video. I live in Toronto (Obviously). Where do you or did you get your S-class services in Toronto?
Hey, I live in the west end so it's MB Oakville. I like dealing with Phil H, service advisor. Check your local dealer and see how their service cost compares to indi's. Some MB dealers price basic services very competitively in order to get people in the door.
Great video man, bow down... 🍻
Ive done some research and the best years are 2009 to 2013. For 2009, they fixed all the engine and trans issues of the 2008 and below.
Good production
you are superstar, man! so nice
ah this vid really makes me want to get one of these
Went forever! Loved it! But I got an 07, more on maintaining that would be cool. Bought the car before I saw your video! Also, is the content on screen upgradable? Mines more old-school than yours. Like atari style... Lol!
I've got a 2007 S600 and while its required the most maintenance of any Benzo ive owned I LOVE it to death. And I THINK its quicker than my 2019 C63s lol.
That outro was great
Another great video, keep up the good work :-) I think you should finally sell it and get a W222.......!
I was driving a W221 S550 (S500) 4matic in Germany, pre-facelift, had just normal issues, all in costs (depr+maintenance) were 350€/Month. Amazing value and I always had a smile on my face flying 200 kmh (124mph) down the autobahn... was worth it...
Making that video was a LOT of work! Nice one. 👍
Are those dollars Canadian ones?
Yes and yes
I'm 3 minutes into this video, and I'm thinking 'This kid's pretty good?' GREAT JOB !
