😅😂😅😂
Word to your mother.
LUDA!
He definitely did when he had the H2
What a time to be alive 😍
Your Hooptie collecton is evolving into an Exotic Hooptie collection. someday there will be a hooptie hypercar.
I hope so
The flood Bugatti 😳
It’s crazy how time will eventually evolve into exactly that, Hooptie Hypercars.
Tyler is the most financially responsible person on CZcams
fractal well.. no, but still, we don’t watch him for his financial decisions:)
The G-Wagen was never built in Germany or France, it has been built by Magna Steyr in Graz Austria since the 70s.
And it was made for the German military!
@@julius330i8 austrian as well
Yeah the Austrian Military and civil versions was called Puch G
Mercedes isn't unique in subcontracting vehicle assembly done all over the world. Sometimes a third party can produce a vehicle more cost effectively, especially when a low volume vehicle doesn't justify its production cost, but manufacturer still wants a presence in the vehicle segment. Magna Steyer also built BMW's E89 Z4.
@Foto4Max that was just a license and had Peugeot engines.
*2021* “I bought the cheapest Boeing 747 in the world!”
NO
Wizard: gtfo Tyler
You can buy a cheap Airbus A380 right now.

You know you’re ballin when your “Winter Beater” is a G55 AMG wagon
Im gonna act like you didn't say wagon instead of truck or suv 😂
@@thanoshkrish867 I’m gonna act like you didn’t know that’s called a G wagen 😂

@@thanoshkrish867 ok bro...you sure burned me 🙄
@@dmar9368 not burning, rather learning
The motor mount is not collapsed, the frame rails are offset causing the engine to sit at a slight angle :)
Well done. I was planning to post the same thing. All the V8 G-wagens are like this (I think).
@@latitude9.5north54 I knew a guy who had a 55 chevy Bel Air with the V8 cocked like that, but it was not by design. 😂
@@latitude9.5north54 You are correct they all are up until the redesign. Funny enough even the G65 is like this, but with the engine tilted in the opposite direction!
That is correct! My 280ge engine tilted. Not sure why. Perhaps to aid in oil changes.
g350cdi sits like that too, it looks broken, but it's normal :P
Hoovie's car collection looks like that of someone that won the lottery 20 years ago and hasn't bought anything since...
Stole that one straight from Ed Bolian, didn't you.
Hoovie said that himself once
You must have missed the SLS and the Rapide.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH And the Jeep Rubicon

220,000 miles?
No, $48,500
spent on gas
Say less, take my money
That's only half of the car's depreciation.
@Blaise T Yeah I mean when you go into luxury car ownership expecting low coast of operation you should drive a Toyota or a Honda.
Had to do an estimate, too. That would be closer to 100k$ for fuel alone if you went 220.000 miles / 354.000km in Germany with that car. Gas prices are a lot higher here.
@@D3lor34n Well, the liberal welfare state isn't gonna pay for itself. LoL
Hoovie: wizard, wizard I just bought the cheapest G55AMG with over 200K miles!!
Wizard: YES! Honey we can now buy that house on the lake!
*that house with the lake
@@G.Mike97 both on and with!
You mean car wizard can now buy one of the great lakes for his yacht?
As far as i know they started as "Puch G" buildt by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria.
Correct, In Austria
Yeah, the rest also isn't quite true. They where never build in France and the intention at first was also not for the military. The idea was to have a smaller version of the Unimog.
There are lots of inaccuracies in his history of the g wagen.
Americans don't know the difference.
I have a puch moped, hope to have a puch suv someday.
Sometime in the near future “I just bought the cheapest Bugatti in the U.S!”
An EB110 maybe?
@@MetalTrabant no, in the UK ebs are incredibly expensive
I can't wait for that day
He passed on it lol
Like stradman!!
Hoovie: "I Bought The Cheapest Mercedes G55 AMG In The USA."
Doug: *Laughs in Barbie Benz*
I mean, his was 5x the price, so idk why he would be laughing in this scenario
You mean that Suzuki samurai 🤣
Not yet, if that has Mercedes stamp than yes. Special cars have special price. In some way dough G should, perform better of road and town capability. Smaller G with lower mass is faster than long whell base G and it has limited production.
Joke makes no sense, but it’s alright
Doug's got the two door convertible...100% barbies benz
The French G wagon was called the Peugeot P4, used still to this day by the military !
One of the reasons I think I like this channel is we couldn't be more dimorphicly different. When I buy a vehicle it will be the only vehicle I drive and I will literally drive it till it dies, or becomes too expensive to keep up, which usually at that point it's worth nothing and I end up giving it to a charity that does this.
Last time Hoovie had an AMG SUV, it got stolen.
I’m ready for the sequel.
That's right! I wonder whatever happened to that True American Hero.
Thats why i started watching him lol
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris It got shot up on NCIS.
@@DougTheSnowMan Haha, thank you for the answer! However, I was asking about the car thief.
@@boqueefya3623 no it didn't..... did it?
The Gs were not made in Germany, but in Austria. In Graz at Steyr-Daimler-Puch, if you name it correct!
They were also sold as Puch g klasse if my memory recalls correctly.
@@RERM001 didn't puch make bicycles and mopeds in the 60's and 70's?
Now its Magna. Same factory that builds the Jaguar iPace, BMW Z4, Supra MK5 and a lot of all wheel drive drivetrains
Was just about to say the same thing
@@dazasc3994 I don't know but all Military Wolf's were made there. Just like the normal ones
Hoovie just called his G-wagon a "winter beater." That's when you KNOW without a doubt you've reached success in life financially. Damn... However I'm happy for him. He's deserving of it and did the work himself to reach that success. Nowadays people just want everything handed to them. He didn't. He EARNED it. Congrats and props to you Hoovie
*thats the cheapest G wagon I’ve seen nationwide, even with that kind of mileage. Most people that spot you driving it won’t know the difference lol*
”Service is exceeded by something like 100 days”
Tyler: Floors it cold multiple times
These have blue lights to indicate the engine is below operating temperature.
At 12:23 you can see that it's definitely not illuminated showing you that it is, indeed, not cold.
@@tim3172 ...or just does not work.
Yes but he could have serviced it himself and not botherd to reset it
His trademark
Who cares. It’s probably already messed up
There is a German couple who took a Mercedes 300GD on a 557K miles road trip. So, congrats on the nice low mileage of your AMG.
Reminds me of guy in California who bought himself a Beetle new in '63, drove it for 1.6 million miles, and then donated it to a museum sometime in the '90s. (For reference, that is about how far the Earth travels in its orbit around the Sun each day.)
I think I met them last summer
I believe that German couple set a world record driving the World's Most Traveled car. The owner refused to take a cellphone. They started traveling back in the 90s and never stopped!
@Foto4Max so, as it turns out, 1.6 x 365 = 584
@Foto4Max And 584 divided by 1.6 is?
365!
Man hoovie is the man! Always finds himself a gem love the car! And awesome channel I watch every video! You got me into cars honestly! Thanks again!!
I'd say that was a good deal. My neighbor imported two early 90's diesel ones, one is a cabriolet (very rare), the hard top has about 400,000 miles on it.

Hahaha yup,

In Texas it's referred to as a pimp wagon. Lol.
I’ve been waiting for you to buy a hooptie G Wagon. I definitely am excited to see this series
You have got to be one of very few people in the world that was unaffected or obvious to the events of 2020. Very blessed obviously.
Bank account: How many Mercs do you want?
Hoovie: YES
Never change Hoovie :)
Never sick of the Mercedes content specially a G wagon
There’s another thing you can try mod: retrofit 3 point seatbelt for center position. It needs to be mounted from the roof. Then, probably a facelift kit to look as recent as possible. If your daily usage also intends for off-roading, then mod it as if it is G500 squared
I'd love to have a G55, the powertrain in that thing is rock solid.
There's just something that can't be explained about an older AMG G-Wagen ... the door locks, the side exhaust pipes, the faux interior, the clearly utilitarian underpinnings. Such a wonderful vehicle!
The turn signals need guards because Mercedes actually values their use and feels that they need to be protected at all costs, unlike the folks at BMW...
+1. In the jungle, those guards protect the turn signals from branches and vines. In the US, they protect the Yuppy's G-wagon from getting scraped by the Starbucks ordering menu in the drive-thru lane. ;-)
That's because blinker fluid is hard to replace.
Happy holidays hoovie your growing the series Car trek is dope.....✌🏾
Anyone else in love with the feeling (and sound) of closing the doors on these things?
I can only imagine how much was dumped into this car over the years.
Maintenance alone could buy another new Camry
probably many times the value of the car
I have a 242,000 mile W210 E55 as my daily driver, it was one owner and came with a full MB dealer history, guy spent over £70,000 buying it and the same again over the 17 years he owned it. Other than cam chain replacement and normal service items the engine and gearbox have never caused any trouble or been apart. The rest of the car seems to have been pretty much totally replaced though. 😂
@@popuptoaster That's what is truly tragic about these cars. Motor and transmission always are fine but all the technology they put in makes the car total out after 100k miles pretty easily. I've seen it on many s classes (my fav car) and other such luxury vehicles.
Can you imagine the problems that will occur over time on the all new 2021 S class?
Hmm, collapsed engine mount...tell Wizard to check the transmission mount and I bet the flax discs show some wear too :)
Luckily, all you need to do is grow your own. Plant some flax seeds, and one month later... Instant replacement parts.
The M113 in the G came slightly tilted So it would fit
@@mrtyreus0 Hey man it's not that simple. Think of the cultivation, the milling, the forging, the milling again. You probably think flax discs grow on trees or something.
"Could explode and leave me stranded at any moment"
Next episode: MY AMG G WAGON LEFT ME STRANDED!!!!!
Excellent find- sounds great! Hope to see it running around soon.
This is awesome! We own a 2003 E55 AMG with 431,750 miles as of this morning!
High mileage is not unusual for the M113 engines, but 400K+ is definitely impressive
Damm that’s a lot how much did you spend on petrol last year
petrol or diesel?
@@Veikra Petrol. Mercedes engine designations are simple, M at the front stands for Motor, OM at the front stands for Oil Motor (Diesel)
@@georgobergfell m113 and m112 are crazy reliable
Hoovie is definitely living in the early 2000’s
Good times, no covid and the cars were cooler
It was a good time to be alive...a lot better than the 2020s, hahah!
The W463 is a bit of a parts bin special. It’s really interesting to see a post 2000 model, and how they’ve just glued in new interior trim items into the same old interior. It’s quite interesting that a 90s version has similar switchgear to the 300SE you have.
3:55 something is dripping from cars fender 😂😂👌

Love you videos and I never get tired of your Mercedes purchases - How's that 300 SE coming along???
Mercedes Content on this channel NEVER gets old and I am hoping to see more Mercedes Content
ACTUALLY the G-Wagon is made by Magna-Steyr for Daimler Benz AG in Austria… so… not made in Germany
I was hoping to find this, most older G-wagons in austria for that reason are branded with Puch on the rear, arent they
Steyr makes a bunch of nice shit
@chris younts now, this is where it becomes complicated… the engine is actually made in Affalterbach, Germany.
@@Communistdogg Yeah, for some reason it was sold as Puch in Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and many other communist states. I live in Croatia and we had a lot of them in military use. Since my father works in Croatian army he sometimes used to pick me up from school in Puch G and Puch Pinzgauer among some other interesting vehicles.
Actually it’s spelt G-Wagen, with an E, not an O.
Another great video! Keep of the great work Tyler!
Of course you will mod that G50...so many new videos to come...thats what you do Tyler..can't wait!!
Please keep the look of this G as stock as possible. Then concentrate the mods on the running gear and engine
Mercedes Benz G Class was made in Cooperation with Steyr Daimler Puch in Graz, Austria and to this day made in Graz by Magna Steyr
France or Austria is no difference for most American storytellers.
@@johanjonsson Thats Why Trump is their President 😂
@@mateschitz The average Trumptard can barely find the USA on a map, let alone any specific country in Europe, so yeah... Hopefully that changes in a few days, we get a new President, and the Trumptards can crawl back under their rocks.
@@AndrewAMartin I wouldn't be o sure :)
im in massachusetts and we just got 6 inches only second time in my life we have had snow on or before halloween and im 35... usually first snow is around thanksgiving or after... awesome amg keep them coming bro!!!!!
This build makes me more excited than any other build so far, including the Murci
At :45 when he placed his foot on the bumper; I was expecting the bumper to fall off.
I was waiting for this day to come and it’s finally here😍😭
As a W116 S Classe and C107 Addict I smiled to myself when you mentioned the G Wagen mileage at 222'000 Miles (Shy of 360'000 km).
Nicely broken in mileage especially for the Handbuilt AMG I murmured through my smile, Yes Mercedes Benz are not what they once were regarding over engineered mobile pill boxes but the underlying engineering is still there and especially in the G Wagen.
Top 10 Hooptie you have there Tyler.
despite those side pipes, the G-wagon is incredible off-road, with a slight lift and appropriate tires.
I love the way this vehicle looks. I hope when Tyler sells it he gives a chance to purchase it. I doubt I would be able to afford it though. I would never buy a Mercedes even if I could afford it but this one really looks special.
I wouldn't buy that brick if it was the last vehicle on Earth, but I love your videos, Tyler. Thanks for the content!
I’m 25 your channel inspired me to buy a w204 c300 and to begin learning how to work on my own car. Safe to say it’s been a bit of a nightmare but your channel has allowed me to maintained a sense of joy through it al. If you ever unload the G wagon plz let me know, I’d be happy to hand over my c300 for this bad boy. Was honest to god was looking for the cheapest the other night and began fantasizing owning a 40k base G-300
8:28 That door close sounds so good
They are actually made in Graz, Austria and developed together with Steyr-Puch. The military version is called Wolf and in some countries it’s sold under the Puch name. The French built it under license as a Peugeot P4.
I’ve always been a fan of the G63 but when I found out how much they are, I’ve started looking at G55s so glad to see you pick one up! Hoping to see more content with it!
G55s are better. The supercharged (2005+) engine has a much more fun power delivery vs the turbocharged engine.
@@shannons1886 That’s good to know, I imagine the turbos get better gas mileage, which isn’t a word commonly used with any G-Wagons lmao
Please do more!! I’m 100% hoovie cheap mercedes fan !!!
Thanks to you now I have 4 cheap mercedes 🙋🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
You got a fun channel, Hoov, keep up the great content!
00:43 enough oil on the ground to do an oil change on my miata!!!! Lmmfao
I haven't been this early since you had an air cooled porsche
the engine always leans in the G. I can vouch for that engine, I idled my s55 for a good 40 seconds with no oil on accident still running strong
Epic vehicle! Great choice for the channel. This is definitely a keeper. Mod the heck out of it! That will give us a bunch of fun episodes.
$22k for a vehicle with 200k+ on the clock
I need a sit down
That's barely run in for a g wagon
That's 300,000 kms, they're asking $14K for pickups with that on the clock up here. But 22K USD is about $26K cdn (for comparison)
if that was a diesel engine it would be barely broken in.
Diesel truck guys are laughing
Those Mercedes if well maintained could get to 500.000/600.000Km easily. (not sure about the g55 amg, but some Mercedes of that era can)
Let me introduce you to the Lc 80 series
And the wizard just did a video on vibrations in Mercedes cars...due to engine mounts, transmission mounts and broken flexdiscs.
That was a really good video for Mercedes owners
Portents of doom...
For the wiz that was a vid of GOOD VIBRATIONS. More
Good vibrations for the wiz. More $$$$$$$. For the boat
Just a couple of things, Hoovie:The G-Wagen is built in Austria(Germany-adjacent😉). And it also technically had a 40 year lifespan(1979-2019), being built first for the Shah of Iran, and then used throughout the world for military and civilian purposes. And yes...they hold value insanely so!
Get motor mounts, transmission mount, and flex discs and drive it as is. It’s beautiful
I want the cheap military version. I'm betting it would be the most reliable version
I am sure you heard of that company in Colorado that imports them. Diesel engines and none of feature comforts. I too have been tempted with one of those
They used to have naturally aspirated Diesels lol. Talking about slow haha
I want this but with a blown engine, and smack a 4bt or 12v in it. With a manual transfer case and transmission. I want the cheap military version of the unimog.
Who else got sad when he said he's not taking it to the Wizard's in the next episode?
Yep... i did
I just noticed I did too, but he needs to break it up to the usual episodes for every car to make money on it, so he can keep doing what he's doing.
What’s wrong with taking it to the wizard? He seems like a genuine mechanic, always explains stuff to save the viewers money.
@@dohc1974 sh*t I meant *not taking it. Damn..
my roommate worked at Mercedes and he brought this same model home once. We had a blast with it. I liked the sidepipes. We used to drive around my buddies farm trails with it and my Jeep Grand Cherokee at the time. This was back in 1996 or 97 I think
8:28 that sound is equivalent to M1 Garand ping in the automotive industry
I know he's getting paid for this, but as soon as came time to talk about Omaze bit, I'm skipping forward 2 mins right away. 🤖
Seems a little sketchy to me. There is a different car for every "raffle" I've seen.
Do you want them to give away the same car to everyone.?
@@BlakeGibbons Hah! Good point!
They always seem to have a crazy dream car to give away.
I just want to know where they are getting these cars. Do they actually exist? Any vin numbers on file? Any verified winners?
@@davidtaylor5811 even if you don’t trust omaze there are plenty of verified lottery raffle car give away companies. They make a lot from selling tickets that cover the cost of promotions and car price. Most of these cars aren’t from the factory as well.
@@user-nz3sp9od3m Did a little research on the web and It’s legit. The biggest complaint is about how much of your donation goes to the charity in question.
Just info - G class was never made in Germany, but in Gratz Austria. Great ride congrats!
7:41 that is the way the engine sits on W463s of this vintage. The M113k is one of the best motors ever made period!
I work at a Mercedes dealership outside of St. Louis Missouri, last month we took on two G63 AMG cars. No wait list but both where sold over market at around $280k within 2 weeks of delivery.
Please be an inspiration and do the facelift conversation kit to show the younger audience that picking up a hooptie like this can be converted 🤙🏻
No. That is garbage when people do the facelifts on the older cars. This front is already looking retro cool. The huge ductwork and intakes on the facelift already look dated.
Absolutely fucking not.
Facelifted G-Class are tacky af.
The only thing I would suggest (if you really want to mod for whatever reason) is to bling it up in the way how it used to be done to these back then (mid 2000s style, they used to throw lots of chrome on this era of the G).
I believe adding 2019 G parts on a 2000s G is simply for show offs at this point and ruins the appeal of older models.
"Cheaper than a mid-level Camry" Is it really though? lol
Yes!!! Portal axles, make sure all 3 lockers work, better suspension and tires. Please ditch the side pipes. An upgrade to the lighting is all you need though, no full front end exchange. Get LED's all around on exterior lights, and lose the 3rd row jump seat. That thing is gorgeous!!
Hoovie is just the “type of guy” to buy a time share.
If you’re redoing the headliner anyway, you should see if you can find an aftermarket twilight kit to add!!!
Cheaper than a mid-level accord, with a design from the 70s, and it will only cost the price of a Camry to drive for 2 years!
To be honest hoovie is a smart man he buys cars for cheap and fixes them for under 5 percent of the real value and the car runs great
Love the trend towards higher quality hoopties! 👍👍 Love the Gs too.
Finally bought my dream truck I’ll buy that when your done with it 😉
Hoovie is entertaining us at the price of his own sanity!
Can't get enough, plz keep uploading more , then more . And maybe ... just Maybe! Even more!
I saw this in the other video and was waiting for you to post it
THIS VS THE LX470!!! We need the off-road content!
He sold the LX470 ages ago didn't he?
This is something I could see my dad trying
Nevermind he wouldn’t spend $20k on a car
Same as my old man
You would if Omaze sponsored his video lol
Love all of your content
Love the oil pump whine on old M113s and M273s. The Porsche Cayenne 4.5 V8 also had that distinct whine.
