If the Mercedes dealer was unable to sell it there's either something wrong with it or the market for the car is really bad. It's possible the last owner had too many problems with the car and traded it in for another one after it's last service visit. If that's the case it's possible the dealer didn't want to retail it to one of their customers. Unless you can get the story from someone at the dealership and the reason they're dumping it at auction is something like just too much inventory I would stay away from it.
@@PremierAutoMan86 If the problem is the local market I would have sent it to one of the auctions in Dallas since it's closest really big market to Oklahoma.
Something I recommend when getting in a hot car is roll down the windows with the A/C on. Once you feel the cool air, roll them back up. That helps me when I take pictures of cars
Randy why would a dealer push that Mercedes through the Auction? You might not make 10%+ on the S500 but I would settle for a couple of percent. You know it still has Mercedes Warranty on it too.
Somehow, I managed to score a similar w223 s-class as a rental from enterprise a month back. It had only 250 miles on the clock and apparently i was the second one to have rented it. Loved every second of it. Put over 500 miles on in 4 days of local driving, they're amazing cars.
Spreading the love ❤️ on an almost new S500 by Randy...exploring a new horizon, with a minimum USD5k in profit is certainly a cream on top of crop...just get it...
I am a big fan of the mid '90s Impalas. Rear wheel drive V8, basically a four door muscle car. I'll never understand why everything went to either four or six cylinders and front wheel drive. And don't let me get started on the CVT transmissions that are everywhere now. They're the Pontiac Aztek of transmissions!!! Great video Randy. 👍🇺🇸😎 (I thought that Mercedes was a Maybach at first. Nice, but not my thing. I'm more of a hooptie kind of guy)
I would avoid that. At my dealership all used cars are shipped off after 90 days. The nice ones are bought by the staff. No nice vehicle makes it 90 days on our lot.
Hello Randy. The 2022 Mercedes S500 is a great looking car. The 2021 Ford Branco Sport is a good looking SUV. The Chevrolet Malibu is a good looking car.
GET AN IMPALA!!! I love those cars. The 2006-2013 and then the 2014-2020 are both beautiful cars. My personal preference is the 2006-2013 but to each there own 😁
Charlie the Impala guy here telling you i'm looking forward to seeing you get one. The last ones made were definitely a very attractive car. I really think you'd like it. I love my 2011 LT.
The problem with that Mercedes is that someone with 90-100k to drop on a Mercedes would rather spend the extra 10k to buy a brand new one instead of a "used" one even only a year old.
Would def stay away from the S-class in todays economy... hard to sell luxury, depreciating cars. A cheap Ferrari will prob not be that cheap but they will almost guaranteed appreciate in value. And a hell of a lot more fun too! $68k sounds like a 360 to me. The 355 is nice too. The 355 sounds sooo sweet!
Randy, don’t settle for a Malibu LT, you will regret it, or you will continue to want the Impala LTZ. I wanted a Maserati Quattroporte, but I bought an Audi A8 instead because it was a good deal and I regret it. Now I’m selling my Audi so I can get the Maserati.
In the 90s registering my firebird v6 was over 1000 bucks the dealers did not finance tax on it. Georgia collects the tax at the sale and the roll in into financing. I drove that car on an expired tag for 2 years. I had insurance.
Randy like cars that aren’t boring. I think that kinda summarizes it. Really good taste and generous to a fault. And a great RUclips channel! Hippos pen, lol! He’s funny too!
Financing a Ferrari through the actual Ferrari dealer finance options is second to none and not at all hard to get as they understand the value and appreciation on there vehicles, the F12 is very nice
We got offered at car max 28500 for our bronco sport being 2 years old with 37k. The sticker was only a little over 32k new! The sticker now new is over 37k with the same equipment. We only paid 29k before the car shortage and all the crazy stuff happened. We didnt sell because the cost of replacement on a bigger vehicle!! Ours is cactus grey with better looking wheels.
I love the Chevy impala they really stopped making them in 2013 but really 2016 for the fleet models if you can get a LTZ in that year you will have the best one
Man love these I have the W208 320 W212 550 W614 350 These are amazing! S500 I love the new s-class there so boss so smooth ! I bet the Benz will last longer than the Ferrari , but you can always sell a Ferrari Your right about that it is a Ferrari !
Hey I have been watching your videos a while now and I don't have a problem with any of your content however for business wise I think you should start investing in newer cars where u can make an easy flip to start increasing your income apart from the unique collection you invest in. And also opening your own dealer lot can become a thing for you.
Something with those Malibus, the 2019+ models that aren't the Premier have a CVT that everyone seems to hate. If you ever look at one find either a Premier, those have the 2.0T and a 9 speed, or a 2018 or older, all of those have traditional automatics.
Huge Depreciation will be hitting at that S class on a 3 monthly basis, would be a lovely purchase but the clock would be ticking to sell it before you take a hit.
My coworker has a 2018 chevy Malibu and it has around 96k miles on it and transmission went out and luckily my coworker has insurance that covers 100k miles and he was lucky enough to get new transmission.
The S class seems to be a weird spec with luxury in the front but nothing in the back (I didn’t see rear climate control) which I would say most new S class customers want to be the passenger over the driver especially it’s a S500 not a v8 nor AMG
I'm rather surprised you walked right around that blue camaro and went for the jag which you didn't even want anything to do with. I liked the S500. They are somewhat reliable till you get to many nanny aids which all cause problems.
Someone may have mentioned this, but an LS, or LT1 Chevy with a sunroof is almost 100% a rental car. The last Impala was made in February 2020, and I can almost guarantee 80% or better of those made after July 2019 were rental cars. Sunroofs and no leather, or leather with no heated seats. Leather and a roof with basic climate control, watch out for those.
randy silver isn't a bad color most of my cars have been silver due to being easy to clean compared other colors i have had a couple white cars but they do show the dirt and brake dust we all have our life's and dislikes in vehicle colors
Big money = much harder to sell = more risk. I think moderately priced cars are the better bet. Ask yourself a question...if it was that easy to sell, why would the Mercedes dealer send it to auction? They can offer financing...you can't which is another disadvantage...
Hi Randy, it's a strong no on the S class, you just had one. Also the worst car I ever owned was a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, which I later figured out that that was about the time when General Motors killed off the Pontiac and Olds divisions and they were hurting for money, so my motto is to stay away from GM from that time frame. Also I don't know much about these but it seems that you could get a impala SS for the last few years they made them which were nothing but a rebadged McClaren (not an expert like I said) but if that's the case you need to be looking for one of those. 😀✌❤

May be a market thing too, I don't think there's a huge market for $100k Mercedes in OKC. This thing would sell in NYC, Miami, Vegas, Atlanta, or LA
Someone has took a bath on trade in

Hey Randy! Have you changed your mind bout not liking 6 cylinder vehicles after driving the Mercedes?
The problem with that Mercedes is that someone with 90-100k to drop on a Mercedes would rather spend the extra 10k to buy a brand new one instead of a "used" one even only a year old.
You mean the extra $30K..right?
Yes exactly that was my thinking too
I got a one year old fully loaded s580 msrp of 140k. Bought it for 98k. So sometimes it actually is worth it.
Would def stay away from the S-class in todays economy... hard to sell luxury, depreciating cars. A cheap Ferrari will prob not be that cheap but they will almost guaranteed appreciate in value.

Is the Benz still under factory warranty? With 8k, it should be? Nice car. Hope there is no secret problem the dealer can't fix.
My favorite car of all time ! Thank you Randy !! 🫶🏻
Man the delar auction is awesome! 😂. Keep it up randu with the good content! Love what you’re doing!
you really miss school don't you
@@hydrazombie lmao
@@waseinkeko fanboy
People who can afford $100,000.00 cars, most typically only buy new. You would have a VERY hard time unloading a used S-class for 95K
Prudent Financial decision regarding the Merc, Randy!👍
Awesome show my friend.
Ditch the luxury motors for a while. I reckon folks will be offloading as things get real bumpy with the economy
Financing a Ferrari through the actual Ferrari dealer finance options is second to none and not at all hard to get as they understand the value and appreciation on there vehicles, the F12 is very nice
Yeah randy I'm watching but as for what's wrong with it couldn't tell you hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
And it's only 180000 miles to

You should go get the last year of a Cadillac xts, that basically a impala all dressed up.
I love the Chevy impala they really stopped making them in 2013 but really 2016 for the fleet models if you can get a LTZ in that year you will have the best one
U are so smart about CARS trucks !!
Love the look of the S500. Leave it there though 😂
The tent section @ Copart yard seemed like alot of goodies are under there
This isn’t copart
Man love these
I have the
W208 320
W212 550
W614 350
These are amazing! S500
I love the new s-class there so boss so smooth !
I bet the Benz will last longer than the Ferrari , but you can always sell a Ferrari
Your right about that it is a Ferrari !
Why is the car at the auction and not on the dealer lot?

There are a lot of repossession right now because of rising interests rates .People simply cannot pay the monthly payment.

My favorite type of videos to watch on youtube Randy keep up the good work brother!
Mike would kill for this one
That MERC is a beauty
Dang that S500 😲🔥🖤
When I see your smile Randy, you need to buy it !!
Randy, that S-Class would be PERFECT for the channel! And an easy flip to get you a big profit! Plus, you get to experience a brand new S500.
I feel the same way about the newer ltz Impala there really good looking cars I think especially in that maroon color or black
I just bought a blue 2016 LTZ/2LZ 3.6L Impala I bought it from a dealer has 74000 miles I paid $17'500 for it did I get a bad deal?
That's a pretty good deal!
Great opportunities to grow your views and subscriber count ,let’s see how it does , great video as always, really appreciate you
15:04 the old man leaves the white cars drivers door window halfway down and doesn't even shut the door all the way
U don't need the s class but if u want it get it it is a game changer your choice
This Mercedes is really very nice.
Nice car but too much risk. Buy some lower price cars that need a little work as they make great content for us who follow you on this Tube!
Huge Depreciation will be hitting at that S class on a 3 monthly basis, would be a lovely purchase but the clock would be ticking to sell it before you take a hit.

That Merc is really nice Randy I'd get it
16:52 Just put a KITT scanner in that gap and it will look perfect! 😁

I know a ex Co worker that has temporary tag a year expired no insurance they never leave town.....
Nice video Randy
hey, you dont have to prove anything to anybody its your money you do what you want with it...whether you can or cant buy it
That’s normal for the transmission on the Jaguar and Land Rover. There’s a delay.
Randy my son has an 03 impala 03 power every thing power heated s 18:00 seats sun roof 3.8 runs great he wants 2500 for it
I'm rather surprised you walked right around that blue camaro and went for the jag which you didn't even want anything to do with.
I liked the S500.
They are somewhat reliable till you get to many nanny aids which all cause problems.
Temp tags could be a reason for repo as well. Don't prove insurance and registration to the lender they'll come get it.
To sell, to flip it and make a profit, probably. It may be cheap but it is still $100,000 car to own with parts and labor that reflect that. 🙂

U can probably sell to a more higher end dealers like in Los Angeles im thinkig

God bless randy! Allergies suck
gmc terrain 2018 and newer, I'm 6'7 over 300 lbs driven big vehicles all my life. this was the perfect econo box as a downgrade
Randy, could you please show us the Nissan Quest powered by a VQ35DE from the Nissan 350Z. It’s a FWD Nissan 350Z in minivan form.
It's fwd and cvt. Quest are junk.
how is the speedometer only 160?
Impalas are going up on value now
Hi Randy what product do you recommend for a coolant leak on a Kia?
Correct replacement parts. No magic in a bottle.
What does the wiper up mean?
Where is that auction at?
Randy won't you contact craig from flying wheels maybe he'll go in with you
Why you want the last gen of the impala
What about the Ford edge
Big money = much harder to sell = more risk. I think moderately priced cars are the better bet. Ask yourself a question...if it was that easy to sell, why would the Mercedes dealer send it to auction? They can offer financing...you can't which is another disadvantage...
To much of a risk for the Merc Randy. I am concerned why the dealer sent it down the road
Hey Did you see what’s going on with that and RaptorThat Merc is really nice Randy I'd get it
nice car but be careful buying something that expensive as its more a buyers market than a sellers market right now
S500 I smell a lemon
Yes
As good as that 6 cylinder might be the fact that it is an S Class with a 6 cylinder could be an issue selling it.
If its too good to be true, it probably is. Who is going to spend $90k on a car thats not at a MB dealer with a full warranty?
Hi Randy, it's a strong no on the S class, you just had one.
