Hoovie yesterday: perfect family car
Hoovie today: worst cost of repairs on the planet
Someone in the comments section warned of this in the last Maybach video.
Well it is the dumbest automotive channel in all off CZcams!! Great content
Folks with kids should not haul them around in insanely expensive and sophisticated automobiles, that’s not just dumb, it’s sacrilegious. I’m sure some German engineer at MB cried himself to sleep tonight after seeing what your kid did (thoughtlessly I might add) to that beautiful door panel! Also, you have plenty of hooptees you can do burnouts with, please don’t molest this car! Everything Mercedes knows went into making this car, and let’s face it: that’s a LOT! Respect the car! No point trying to destroy it all in the first 2 weeks of ownership! They still turn heads here in Dubai where we see the craziest cars on a daily basis! Get an ‘82 Tercel to haul your kids around, do it for a week! They’ll get the message, and it’s also good parenting!
@@mikedemarchelier9090 Well, I hope the quality of this car isn't that bad that you molest it with driving it once with 70-80 km/h into a tight bend. I see a lot of respect for this car by buying it and have it properly checked by the Car Wizard...😉
@@mikedemarchelier9090 I understand your passion here but Hoovies family rides top style whatever that is. The car can always be fixed. I actually greatly respect Hoovie for saying his girl broke it but she's a hellion JUST LIKE HE WAS... He didn't say it with any anger. At the end of the day , it's just car someone got rid of because they knew it was about to get horrendously expensive to maintain. A classic car for sure, but still.... just a car. I feel more love for the Hurst Mustang he has up on the rack then this wonderful Mercedes. But that's just me.
“It’s an extra 6 inches”
Wizard: “OHH I’m interested”
I love these guys 😂😂😂
6 inches can make a huge difference. Ask your mom about when we met.
Well, if Hoovie has his way, Wizard won't be allowed to retire because this car alone will keep him very busy! 😂😂
And yes, I've seen plenty of videos from other owners who say these cars are a pain in the butt to maintain when they're a certain age/mileage.
I'm really glad Hoovie's around to make huge financial mistakes for everyone's entertainment and education. Thank you to Tyler and thank the Car Wizard for his service!
I love it. The content is great!! At a great expense
I still make them bad financial decision but on a far less expensive scale...
Not as bad as the previous Maybach owner! Holy Moly that was cringeworthy!
Even a financial mistake is a financial Win for him - No reason to feel bad for multi-millionaires
Hoovie's a shrewd businessman. Notice how he only associates with people that can help him achieve his goals. He doesn't make huge financial mistakes. He makes investments.
I work for a Benz dealer up in Canada and I can tell you one really neat thing about this cars is the doubles, or backups of many systems. Double calipers, twin brake lines, dual radiators, alternator has twin stators. So cool, these cars are so unique. The 62 weighs more than a g wagon and barely evens fits on our hoistes
the 62 weighs more than a wagon? what an understatement.
@@piuthemagicman sorry , "G Wagon"
@@piuthemagicman about equal if the maybach was base model62 .no partition no crazy roof.
The first time I saw one in person is when I noticed the two calipers on the rear wheel...very cool
My mind was blown when I first saw at the dual brake caliphers
Crazy expensive parts? On a car that cost half a million when new?? NO WAY! 😂
Too bad the parts don't depreciate as much the car does!
This lamb concurs.
I wish more people could realize this.
The thing is it’s based on the regular S class. It’s not a supercar.
I couldn’t spend more than $100,000 on a car. Even that is so much. Cars just depreciate so fast. The only exceptions would be collector cars.
@@Marklin15 But with a lot of specialized technology built at very low volumes
Try this brilliant little tip that I have invented. And it really really works. While the jaguar engine is on the bench, get a microfiber rag and a can of satin black spray paint,,,now then I have been doing this for over 30 years. Make a ball shape at one end of the rag and wet it with the paint. Now without being too gentle scrub the sides of the block and this will absolutely make the block look new but, 1950s new and it won't look painted. Trust me it is so worth it hoovie ✌️👍
Perfect illustration of "I have the money to buy it, but i cann't afford it" - sometimes the up-front money is fine, but the follow-up for repairs and simple maintenance is a killer!
Every clapped out German car you see.
I sell batteries for interstate and ill tell you people always try to go cheap on a luxury car. Wonder why its 250 to 300 for a battery on there 70 thousand plus vehicle lol the amount of people calling for used batteries for Beemers is ridiculous lol
@@joseureste8257
Exactly! Especially as they move down the chain and get a few years old, when people "buy" them on terms because they want to show off their 'wealth', but can barely cover payments.
When you consider some models use uncommon batteries, it's even worse - you're going to have fun when the 48V euro's start needing those batteries 😉
That me w every car
Volvo in a nutshell
Seeing the grin on Wizard's face as he was being chauffeured around like a captain of industry was great. 😄
Apparently, he owns a shop so yeah lol
Happy Veteran's Day to the Wizard. Thank you for your service, from my family to you and yours.
Gay
No to scammer. Reported him as terrorism. Hopefully it's gone. How does CZcams not detect and delete scammers. Users made tools to automate deleting those because CZcams refuses.
Happy veterans day wizard!!
@@isaactarula3070 c’mon man😂
@@isaactarula3070 admitting it is healthy good job kid 👏
Hey fellas, is it gay to respect the men and women who took the time to protect our country?
Under a car that big and heavy without a jack stand - living dangerous! Be safe fellas!
I'm disappointed Wizard did that.
That car already had air suspension warning popping up.
What if something suddenly gave out with the car perched like that on jacks?
Ya that was a dumb thing to do.
I almost couldn't believe they did that. I'm just a home mechanic and even I know not to trust my life to hydraulics.
Was wondering if anyone else was feeling it, especially when the wizard had his arm under the wheel of a 4t car
he didnt swing under the car, well maybe only the bumper section at most
A buddy of mine had a click click in the front of the engine of a V-12 S-600. We thought it might be something in the timing chains. Another buddy came out and said the clicking was not at anything with relation to engine rpm. He narrowed it down to the smog pump. Whew!
That airmatic warning could be something with the level sensors. My e63 kept doing that - turns out the u bolts holding the level arms to the tie rods on the front wheels were super loose so the system could never get a plausible reading of the vehicle level when driving.
You just inadvertantly paid for the Wizard's next vacation home in repair costs haha
and for the helicopter to get there from his private jet :)
@@jwenting he’ll just drive his yacht that hoovie already had bought him 🤣
Why not gastric bypass?
I heard he’s buying one of those seized Russian oligarch yachts
Couldn’t of gone to a better guy
My first thought when I saw the “this is better than a minivan!” video was that a windshield replacement probably costs more than my Honda Odyssey… and I feel pretty confident that it is.
Maybe, maybe not. I used to be in the glass business and yes, many low volume exotics like this had very hard to find and very expensive windshields. But not only are such windshields expensive to replace, they are expensive to have manufactured so when they can, they will use an off the shelf windshield from an existing model. This may very well have a standard Merc windshield you can get from any glass supplier for a couple hundred bucks. Or it may be a bespoke item now unobtainable and you would have to track down the one warehouse somewhere that had the sense to buy a whole crate of them before they stopped production and would be happy to ship one to you, for a couple grand of course.
The real expense will probably be those door glasses as those are probably bespoke items. Possibly the backglass as well since even standard Mercs tend to have very expensive backglasses.
i thought good mechanics dont charge diagnostic fees 🤔
Best minivan in the US. (Ozark reference)
@@wingracer1614 just replace with lexon for twenty bucks
@@MrPaxio if you just want them to look then they will. If you want it repaired they roll that into the repair cost. It still takes time to do the diag and they need to charge for it.
The old adage "if you can't afford an expensive one, you can't afford a cheap one" still holds.
There was a video here on CZcams like 15 years ago, where someone parked one of these in a no parking zone in Vienna and someone filmed the several failed attempts to tow this car away. Because it was either too large or too heavy no towing company managed to tow the thing 😂
Yeah, that is what "the Boot" is for.
😬😬😬😬😬😬
It's amazing how you keep so many old classics alive.
I would have been so pissed off if I took my beautiful Maybach 62 to Barrett-Jackson with no reserve and only got $40k.
@@jimdennis2451 it’s got 100k+ on it
That's no way to talk about the Car Wizard.
You're car is 20 years old.
After 10 years they already outlived her usefulness.
it is called spending copious amounts of money to take care of them.
The Wizard gets funnier with every appearance. Such a brilliant addition to Hoovie's channel.
Yes, the wizard, CZcamss best paid actor. Lol!
I can't stand wizard. He's not funny, annoying and just the most dull and annoying fella known to man.
He is with out doubt the most boring man on CZcams.FACT.
Since Hoovie made his most foolish purchase ever, he'll have to keep Wizard around past retirement. LMFAO...
He’s not a Wizard that’s goes to the man who does all the work.
At 2:26 you mentioned the coil pack is 6 coils in one span. You are correct it is in one span but this motor is actually two spark plugs per cylinder so both of the two ignition coil units contain 12 per side. For a total of 24 spark plugs!
Holy crap!
LLLOIOIOOLLLLL 24 BAHAHAHAAHAH hurry ask Ur money back jejejeje buy a Maybach ACME brand jujiji
24 plugs and no doubt iridium ones at that. I suspect a sparkplug bill of more than I've paid for entire cars :D
This was an amazing leap in luxury at the time. It seems like it was the pinnacle as they haven’t gotten much different.
It's only really the tech that's improved. The big engine, lots of space, recline seats with massage, blinds and privacy screens...etc etc. As you said, it's pretty much the same as today.
They were all over Vegas for a few years. I think Casinos and Euro-criminals bought most of them.
You’d need a killer test bench to test that alternator. Some rebuilders get military testers. Mine has a 5HP electric motor that alternator would pop my circuit and stop the motor way before I got it under a full load.
Thankfully there’s still a couple hundred good rebuilders like myself left in this country who can rebuild your alternator for way less than $7000.
#Ad ha ha
They teach disassemble starter and alternator rebuild in 9th grade basic electronics
@@missingremote4388 in what country? Not here in USA anymore.
@@Rickiye A lot of people aren’t aware OEM isn’t the only option. I’d actually prefer if he supports a rebuilder local to him, I’m on the East Coast and have too much work. I’m advocating for rebuilding it’s a dying art and we should all support small American businesses.
@@jrs4ex No shame in promoting your hustle while keeping it classy bro.
Your comment is at least better than the automated bots that hijack every other YT comment.
"The most expensive car you can buy, is a cheap German car." Now the wizard can get something really nice 😆
the wizard does not like Das auto!
I'm exception to the rule then
To be fair...a regular W220/W222 is quite affordable if well maintained.
If you're expecting a cheap Maybach you got obviously no clue about german engineering
I love the 'Visit Workshop' light on the dash....regular cars go to garages to be repaired.....Maybachs go to "workshops".
I'm excited to see what else Tyler bought from the auction. The Maybach purchase is certainly justified because of the incredibly low price. But the repair bills are really going to eat your wallet. I love the beautiful 456 GT. It's one of the few Ferrari's I'd want to own. Great content as usual. I Love seeing the Wizards reaction. Thanks.
I thought I saw a 911 (Turbo?) in the background?
He mentioned a 996 Turbo in his video with Doug de Muro. Apparently it’s not in good shape (in typical hoovie fashion) but it was cheap!
@@stijnafcajax I wouldn’t say cheap. The cars he buys are honestly way overpriced.
@@stijnafcajax which video
Dang, I've got a 320 amp alternator in my Mercedes to power all my car audio equipment. So a 600a one is insane!
Imagine the horsepower drag needed to power that!
600a x 12v = 7200w -> about 10hp give or take. That more or less agrees with a typical portable generator hp, depending on the efficiency.
That's nuts.
@@danl6634 That also explains why the auxiliary belt needs to be so wide !
And here I thought going from a paltry stock 70A on my Defender to a 130A from a Discovery was a big jump 🤣
600, I - I can't even comprehend such a huge number pertaining to a fercrissakes ALTERNATOR. That's a alternator on steroids.
That V12 sound is AMAZING
I like the sound of a v12 starting. It sounds like an engine with no compression that isn't going to start, and all of a sudden or roars to life!
Sounds almost like a motorcycle. Beautiful!
Sound like a wild animal
You two pals giggling during the drive - great fun. Thanks for sharing this. 😊
Love your videos! Keep entertaining us with your purchases!
I love the car seat in the Maybach. My kids would have me opening and closing the shade constantly.
Yeah, maybe you could set up their easy Bake over back there.
Never go under a vehicle without a JACKSTAND
Yes this made me cringe.... I can't believe a professional mechanic would trust their life with a hydraulic jack :/
@@morganfreeman5171 I was shocked to see Wizard doing this.
I thought they would at least put it up on a set of ramps or stands.
It's done ALL the time. No biggie. That's a Daytona Jack. Snap On knock off. Built like a tank. I have two.
@@243wayne1 made by snap on ? I know they have blu point is Daytona another one of their brands ?
@@charlie1832 No Daytona is from Harbor fright. Before you scream made by china crab Daytona jack is actually made in the same factory as snap-on jacks. So basically it is a snap-on. Snap on tried sue HF but failed. It’s a really interesting story look them up if you are curious
Just on the 456 - I ran a 456M GT for a few years, with stock exhausts, and always felt it was quiet. Then one day on a Club run we went belting up a few hills in pursuit of single-figure MPG and when we stopped the chap behind (in a 612) commented on the awesome soundtrack. So I think it's mostly cabin insulation...? Thanks for your channel - came here from Freddie's, and Cartrek. 👍
Love the 456! Wizard needs a bigger lift for the Maybach and the bus/rv. What a barge. Love this content on it.
I was trying to purchase a Maybach 57 from MB of Plano a few years ago. It had suspension issues and ultimately, because of this and it’s inability to pass state inspection because of the struts (even though I was going to take it out-of-state), refused to sell it to me and sent it to auction.
I bought a S65 instead…and promptly had to replace the ABC tandem pump. I think I’m better off!
What's the biggest repair bill or issue/s u had on the s65? (Don't say none, all cars have a issue/s)
The ABC tandem pump and the dynamic seat system pump. The AMG models use the hydraulic rather than the airmatic suspension. Together it was about $5k. Before buying the car, I verified the spark plugs and coil packs had been recently replaced; about $6-7k with labor at the dealer. Another big ticket item are the brake rotors. MB gets about $1,800 per rotor...just the rotor.
Thank you for your service Wizard.
Thank you wiz biz for your service. Veterans make the country!!!!!!
Gotta love the Car Wizard in the back of the Maybach moaning!!! Happy Veterans Day & thank you for your service Mr Wizard!!! 👍👍
Welcome back hooptie king,
it was long due but you finally arrived
Thanks for all the sacrifice CW and Fam. Also thanks for the videos
Omg the Clarkson 600 Grosser bit was awesome!! A true top gear fan!
Hoovie and the Wizard make very entertaining videos. Great one I love that car.
Glad to see Wizard enjoying himself in the back of that luxury sedan, he’s a veteran so he definitely deserves that and more, thank you for your service Wizard…
is it from pity or respect? bcos id feel used like my friends in the military tell me. i feel pity they had to fight for some democrat liar. and those people do deserve it all, considering they were used for power flex of leaders. glad he has his own business taking advantage of what capitalism has to offer, instead of capitalism using him for what he has to offer, but it comes at a cost of people who dont even care, they just want to live a quiet life
@@MrPaxio what the fuck are you on about
@@MrPaxio congratulations, I am amazed by how many dumb things you were able to put in one comment!
@@MrPaxio not at all, I’m just respecting individuals that fought for our freedoms, you are very disrespectful to all of the fallen veterans that passed away for your freedoms and current vets like Wizard, think about that…
Who would let a dirty greasy mechanic sit in the back of their limo? Seriously.
Crazy to think that’s over $800k in todays money from the 2004 msrp lol
I’d do it and keep it in the garage .. like you said it’s still ahead of or at it’s current time with features. Definitely a unique vehicle
“Okay, I’m ready.” The Wizard is the perfect comedic foil. These two are hilarious together.
Dude spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on cars and makes much more through his content creation but can't even get his kid the 2 cup holder Graco seat? Damn.
I bet the belt is wider because of the high power alternator. So other accessories like the water pump might be the same but with a swapped pulley for the wider belt. So if your pulley doesn't break on one of those components you might be able to get a standard s class part and swap pullies.
You know it is going to be the special alternator, this is Hoovie.
uniformed clown
Hi from Denmark.I love your videos.
Please do an über episode with the Maybach. I think that could be fun.
This is one of my favorite cars. Every since I delivered one overnight to the Mercedes dealership in Dallas from three states away ( I never stopped to eat or sleep so fearful was I that something would happen to them) They had a 57 on the carpeted sales floor. Absolutely stunning. I'd still love to own one today.
Hey Hoovie, just wondering how the Maybach compares to the Phantom of the same era since you owned both of them now.
Cool guy...chaufering the mechanic in a ride like is a once in a lifetime experience.
The partition and the curtains make this car so awesome!
It is not a house, it is a grocery getter.
That noise, could be an idler pulley. My ford was like that. When it was cold the bearing in the idler squealed then once it warmed up and got hot (and expanded) it tightened up the blown bearings and stopped.
Happy Veterans Day to the Car Wizard.. you made me laugh when you said I have no problem taking your money! That's hilarious. Enjoy this day that recognizes your service to our country!
Is there a hyphen anywhere in sycophant?
You're an excellent steward of remarkable machines, Tyler!
David is probably able to send his kids though school just off Hoovie income?
Not to mention his CZcams revenue
Look forward to seeing more Maybach-specific technical features......almost the first video on youtube
Thank you for sharing!
This is crazy awesome! Can't believe this is 18 years old.
Hey Wizard, from one Veteran to another Happy Veteran's s Day brother. Great channels the both of you have, thank you and keep'em coming.
Why dont you go to his channel and leave your love notes there?
Wizard have his own channel? Will check it out
I just love your videos with the WIIIIZARD! Lol, thanks for your efforts and frequent videos bud. Hope all the cars do right for ya for a long time.
i love this all dash layout and buttons designed like Vertu
Kudos for flying a drone through the rear door openings 😂😂
One can not miss a Hoovie video. 😺 ❤
I love the 456. Yes it does remind me of a Probe and that's one of the reasons why I like it.
The sound of the 456! I love it!
The price of the alternator is the price of my car lmao
a bearing replacement in an alternator, any alternator, is a relatively simple and inexpensive job. i wouldn't be worried, unless i was planning on taking it to a mercedes service center. now, THAT would worry me. :)
Have you seen the water cooled one?
@@daleolson3506 haha....no i haven't. but i suppose one could design it such that the bearings are neigh impossible to replace.
Good luck, Hoovie! 🙂
I knew when I saw the first Hoovies Garage video on this Maybach 62 that this ultra luxury automobile would be very expensive to maintain and repair. The depreciated price for the vehicle was very good, which helps compensate for the expensive repair and maintenance costs.
I’m so blown away with some of the cars you’ve shown. Thanks for sharing all these interesting rides.
I'm 20 seconds in this video and it's already weird. Love Wizard 😂😂😂
This is such a genuine fun video
oh hey thats my favourite mechanic magic mikes boss in the back of the maybach ,such a cool dude,if anyone idled up to a closed roller door and sat on a horn at my work the mechanics there would loose their cool and start complaining but not MM, hes just so happy to see a potential customer ,just the perfect employee ,10/10 for service
I bet the wiring skematics for that car are very user friendly 😎
Volumes 1-23......
Fixing a 2004 maybach is a terrible decision
I worked at a glass laminating shop that made windows like that roof for aircraft. The film is around a hundred bucks a square foot.. The specialty glass is close to the film price so materials alone are verrrrrrry expensive.
Nice video, thanks Hoovie!
The alternator is water cooled. I just had mine rebuilt instead of buying a new one.
You can hear the fear in Tyler’s voice during the inspection 😂😂😂
Well yeah they both went under a car with no jack stands…..
When I bought a used 2004 Cadillac SRX, I FELL IN LOVE with it, especially the sunroof, but parts and labor, 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I got to drive an series 1 E-Type with chassis number 19, and my goodness.... once you are in, it is just such a great place to be, and the stainless exhaust..... wow.....
another great video from Hoovie. keep it up
If it's an idler pulley, you can press the bearings out of the pulley, and in many cases get a similar bearing from a place like motion. Usually the bearings are held in with a spring clip. Probably a lot cheaper than a new pulley, esp in this case.
Great vid thanks. What scanner is that from autel?
Those Amtrak horns sure draw some attention!
The Car Wizard's face was priceless for the first few seconds.
Wizard: "we just need the extra 6 inches". Don't we all
Then Hoovie goes for a crotch shot of the Wizard...
The Wizard is always really funny on Hoovies' videos! As a Brit, thank you Wizard for your service.
I've seen every si glen video Hoovie has ever dropped.. I think seeing him send the Maybach might be my favorite moment ever 🤣😂🤣
Probably could rebuild that alternator. They used to do that in every small town. They would replace the parts, rewrap the windings, replace the bearings, and give it a good cleaning.
Wish we knew the history of this car. I bet the previous owner was an interesting person!
Hoovie talks about that in the first video. Some sort of business owner in Houston if I remember correctly.
I bet it would look so much better with the updated wheels on it.
7:30 I love you man for saying that - That „Grosser“ in London Episode burned into my mind, too!! 🎉😂

It’s full of cockroaches 🪳 lol
I love the new Maybach 62. Best car in the fleet
13:05 That went from professional to DIY really quick!😂
Yeah but they didn’t use jack stands…..
I flipped my XKR finally for a decent amount compared to what I paid for/put into it, so I just have my older XK8 with a procharged Ford 4.6l 32 dohc v8. Probably the most reliable Jaguar I've owned at this point, although my XJS with the inline 6 was pretty solid all around. I traded that for a Mercedes 380 SEC V8 coupe that has been a fun project. It's extremely far from perfect so I'm tempted to put together a widebody for it like some others have done.
Almost 20 years later and this car is still EPIC!
Epic depreciated piece of junk that looks like a Hearst.
Can you imagine using this as an Uber car?
I was.Then I thought about the fuel prices eating all the fee and then some.
You would have to charge three or four digits just to pay for the gas.
Too old, Uber wouldn’t allow it unfortunately.
Absolutely loved it when Wizard was pleasuring thyself in the back seat
We had a 62 at my job...driving it in the shop was fun....definitely my favorite mercedes tho
