My god Tyler, you sold the best S600 in the US for 12k. You truly are an automotive masochist.
KFC Manager best?
Well hello there
Enjoy this S class T, this is by far one of my favorite YT cars. take care of her.
I knew it
This is going to be great
god damn it Tavarish, don't buy another car before you finish your SL manual swap!
Tavarish i do landscaping in your neighborhood and see your cars all the time lol
What a beautiful, glorious car the S-class is. Such a privilege to own & drive, and to fix & modify at that. This is one insanely lucky car guy.
If you sold it to me, I could've been the guy with 2 S600s...
@ samcrac....I'm on your heels with one!!
No shit Sherlock
That's how hoarding starts
But did he auction it?🤔🤔
Samcrac you could be rebuilding a BMW i3.
Been binge watching your videos. Great way to waste time in the depth of winter up here in Canada. Thanks Hoovies. Very entertaining!!
Let's assume that your Benz averaged 14 mpg, and premium cost on average $2.50/gal. Over 8,000 miles, you will have spent $1428 on fuel. Add this to the $7068, brings your cost of ownership up to $8496, or $1.06/mile.
The IRS reimbursement rate in 2017 is 53.5 cents a mile, which is a fairly good estimate of what it costs to own an average vehicle. Your costs per mile are roughly twice the average, just to put it into perspective.
I still think you made the right choice, as an S600 is way more car than your average vehicle.
How long did it take for you to write this??
Can you do this again with the current gas prices please!!!!!
This channel is the purist form of entertainment. Love it.
Tavarish is living a dream in the early 2000's.
You and Tavarish... top quality channels.
Oh dear. Who didn't see this coming?!
Fantastic car, btw. Despite the fact they cost a fortune to maintain (for most people).
This is so perfect i didnt wanna see this baby go and now it just goes to another of my favourite youtubers
LITERALLY AS SOON AS I SAW THE VIDEO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "he's gonna sell it to tavarish...." I literally jumped from my seat when I predicted it correctly ahahahahah
Congrats Tavarish...
ali raza LOLOLOLOL I know.....after Tavarish BEGGED for it!
Man that startup and that exhaust sound is worth dying for!!
You seem to be always capable of mortally embarrassing your mechanic, definitely one of the reasons I'm subbed.
I am so happy Tavarish is getting it. That is a great plot point!
I love how the wizard just stands there all embarrassed while you do your silly shit for your video. He's probably thinking, man, I hope no one walks by my shop an see this fool. LOL
I knew tavarish was gonna buy it
Me too haha
He and Tavarish are friends and did some vlogs together.
Tavarish and Hoovies - the two best automotive you tubers... parker and doug smh... I wouldn't have sold that s600, but at least you'll get to witness its fate
Love your videos, they are unique, your humour is unique, just be yourself and keep on doing more of what you're doing...Drive shaft flex disc...now that's a tongue twister!
"Why do people drive extra stupid in the rain?"
*burns out in the rain*
Tavarish, hoovies, and Doug are the holy trinity.
What a sweet ride, looking forward to Tavarish videos on this car.
I am one with the Benz and the Benz is with me.
Tyler you are my inspiration. My my mechanic has an e36 that I'm going to inquire about when I come in for my next oil change which will be this week. My goal is to own 3 "hoopties" by the time I'm 30.
Wait! No Hoovie intro song!!! My face is melting.
Whoever bought it got a wonderful car, this guy took the time and cash to get it running perfect!
Of course Tavarish bought it lol
FYI I found you through this car I stayed for the other cool videos👍. Keep living my dream of owning a bunch of "fun" projects😀😀
Most companies do not cover an extended bumper to bumper warranty on older luxury cars so yes you can get these cars cheap but maintenance could be several thousand a year without a warranty!
Tavarish probably thinks he's going to be able to do a manual conversion on it
Thats right!
Short-trow dipstick mod and fixing 1000$ issues with 20$
I love Mercedes V12 and at the same time I can’t believe my dream car is a V8 SUV these days.😂 The best sounding exhaust system, super high tech, most practical and the most safe, the new Cadillac Escalated V has arrived and soon will be mine🤤🤑👑
Lets hope Tavarish doesn't plastidip this one in a hideous blue
I just found a 07 for 13k here in California thanks for the great knowledge and video
Nut! You already sold it! Someone got a deal. I'm going to have to watch out for your next sale.
I hope one day hoovie buys a 2004-05 SL500. Love that body style . . Just wish more people would pick them up so I can get an idea of a real maintenance report
there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes....?
Buy for $4550, $4500 for replacement motor and he loose money ?.
My S600 is a near lemon, tbh. Lots of stuff failed much sooner on mine than it should have. I suspect this is like that for a lot of them. But it's only dumb stuff that fails. Otherwise, it is mechanically solid. Just the electronics and plastic tabs. So many broken plastic tabs.
If you pay someone else to do the work I agree. If you can fix it yourself, that isn't always true, not always.😎
That's an understatement.
@the74impala I guess the statement is best used as a joke. And jokes can be funny when they have at least some truth to them. But you said it quite right. Especially if you enjoy doing the work. Otherwise it becomes time vs money.
put diesel in it before sending it to tavarish
Joeys Cleaning Lady knjjj
You better buy a T34 than
$4500? For $4500 you could get a clapped out 1994 C180 Elegance, here in Australia...Such is life.
I don’t think it was worth it selling this beauty after all the money you put into the sliver elephant I also always loved this body.
The rainstorm sounds feel so good
If I were going to drive a car regularly, it'd really have to be something like this.
This car is epic looking
Love this body style. Just needs updated headlights and would bring it some proper life. Nice buy and sell tho. Props. Vids on it made up for the losses
We passed you filming one day and I thought you hydroplaned and lost control but then we passed your camera. LOL
TODAY THE HAMBURGLUAR TEACHES US HOW TO RIDE A SILVER BACK ELEPHANT!
5:50 that is why I subscribed!!!! You are such a unique, nice, funny and goofy character ;)
1 year later, Tavarish already forgot about this car... And sadly, everyone saw that coming
Tavarish is a happy man
hard to believe it's a 10 year old car... when I think of 10 year old car I always thought of g35 or 350z or Acura cl. but those are even older... wow time flies
Tavarish, always getting the leftovers !! 😂😂
sloopy seconds
Half Alive : That's just wrong
thats just the truth
Half Alive: Tavarish has a bad ass Hooptie Fleet tho. I would rock either one except for the MR2. I don't buy project cars from Miami. I live down here, I know what they rig up.
Because he's a DIY!
Drive shat flex risk hahahahaha . OMG I was crying tears of laughter !! By far my favorite channel for laughs out loud.
I originally found your channel with this car reveal. Never left :)
Garrett Duplechain Same here.
Man Hoovie, I'm missing you by two days. I'm going to be down at Tavarishes house the 11th!!
I have '99 V-12, awesome car.....no complaints
Driving in heavy rain with your phone in one hand and looking in the camera.
That Rodeo test is very cool
I had no idea until today that Tyler actually worked at autotrader as well just like Doug Demuro. I knew they were friends, but now I'm wondering how many other people from Oversteer have youtube channels
Good bye to a beautiful Hoopty member
Nice ride, I love that car.
Love the sound of that engine😍😍😍
I'm supersized you didn't get 20k out of it.
you need a 17 year old lemonade daddy to help finance the hoopty fleet
Thats definitely one SERIOUS car,NOTHING beat a MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS ...
Hoovie. You always have some awesome cars my hooptee fleet is all American except for the 07 merc. R CLASS I HAD. I miss that van.. I wanted to enter your contest but most of my fleet is strung across the US, 3 in Texas 3 in MO and 1 here in NY with me now...I'm afraid to get into the highend. Lux boxes as mist of my fleet are craigslist buys of 800 or less give or take
6:37 I'm glad you mess up too, I have to make multiple takes all the time!
Sad to see it go but glad it's heading someplace warm for winter. Did you make the sale contingent on T making a video where he rodeo rides it too?
*"I guess even god doesn't want me to sell it"*
Reminds me of Janis Joplin - "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?"
I can't believe street speed 717's t-shirt be yours here to Japan! That's crazy but hopefully I get it next week I'll put a picture up!
So to sum it up, you sold the most reliable and luxurius car you have to finance one of the worst ls swaps in history of ls swaps. This is so much Hoovies style.
I seen that car today on a car hauler. Wow!!!
Hey i cant wait for the coming project
You could have found another one at that rate lol. Great review though keep up the great work!!!
I spit my food out when I heard Tavarish was buying it. Thats fucking awesome!
I hope Tarvarish keeps this one mostly stock
Doug is good, but my friend.....your channel is better!!! cheers brother 👍
Hoovy, not every one has "car wizard"/ best friend from kindergarten to help keep the price of ownership down...cause that guy must be your best friend to put up with all the crap you have thrown at him!
I'd try to work a little bit on not letting audio levels drop and spike when cutting between camera files.
Here's the solution to your language problem, and again it comes from Germany: We call the driveshaft flex disk the "Hardyscheibe". If you were to translate that into English, it would become "Hardy disk". Not hard disk, but hardy disk. No idea where that name came from, but it sure is easier to pronounce than driveshaft flex disk.
"why do people drive super dumb in the rain" *proceeds to do a burnout*
It’s going to a good home 👍🏼😎
When I saw it was for tavarish I hit like!
Great video. You crack me up. :-P Teach Doug how to do a good video will you Hoovie?
That exhaust though.....
There's three kinds of people on the road when it rains. 90% falls into two of the three kinds. They're either people who feel empowered by the rain and drive +30 mph, those who feel they rain means the sky is falling and they're fixing to die thus driving -30mph, and the tiny 10% who drive the normal speed limit but use extra caution instead of flipping through youtube on their stupid phone trying to find that perfect pick me up song on their way home from their boring job.
Do you know how much it cost me to own my 8th Gen Daily Honda Civic or my New Edge Mustang? ? What ever it cost to fill up gas and change the oil!
It looks Great!
Did anyone else realize the iPhone sitting by wipers at the bottom of windshield at 3:16 when he pulls out of driveway?
do the rear lights flicker when you lose traction??
Hoovie! You're coming to Orlando?! You should do a meet and greet it. It would be cool to meet you in person.
Love your reviews, you're funny as.
If Tavarish is buying this, then it's an upgrade for him.
*wife reveal @ 150K subs !!!*
Plot twist, there is no wife. His daughter came with one of the cars.
Plot twist divorced, currently has a girlfriend
Ikenna Nkaginieme no lol
If he was married he wouldn't have 1/4 the cars he has now
Plot twist: he's gay
Selling the MB V12 for a real Bentley V12 🤑
That "silver elephant" is a regular mechanical bull! And you sir, are a suburban cowboy!
tavarish is buying your car YESS!
Really love that S-Class, i just dont like the last model.
they should add a button you can press inside the car to make it do that
I wouldnt mind a used SL600 red convertible 😍
Did it come with two keys? if you had to buy an extra that probably would have increased your cost of ownership
