Keep at it man, i love the low key down to earth content. Seems like every youtuber has a 1000 hp (insert supercar) and seeing cars and builds I (we) can actually afford is refreshing
Those little silver things on the Mercedes quarter panels are actually an early version of a parking sensor. Before backup cameras and sensors were a thing, Mercedes put these on their cars and what they would do is when you would back up, as you got closer to something, these would pop out to tell the driver that they are getting close to something behind them. Really cool piece of technology Mercedes had back then and interesting little quirk.
I think they are indestructible in a vacuum. The prospects of surviving a road accident with something modern are not that good in one of these anymore.
Hey - Glad you could join us. What are your thoughts on this week's auction cars? Feel free to comment down below. 📹 Feel free to check out my Patreon for more exclusive content and access to our Discord Server: www.patreon.com/bendaga Thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one. ✌
I think the cars in this episode are pretty cool. The manual CR-V was interesting. Also, unrelated, in the video you said the Discord was for people for Patreon but you have the link in this comment. Was this an error? Just wondering
@@thejoeidontknow Good question. The discord server is a part of my Patreon, but you can still join it for free but you will have limited access. Sorry I should've clarified that when I was talking about it in the video. If you run into any troubles, you can dm me on IG and we can figure something out
great video bro love these longer vids. I feel like trying to mess with one of the newer cars would be an absolute nightmare, but that Volvo was really solid.
appreciate the kind words. I feel you there. The future of car tech can be intimidating. But those old Volvos are painfully simple. Greats car in general
I love the change between shorts and then a longer video after a while from all the cars I think the v12 Mercedes’ is worth saving I also like the mustang but I def think the Mercedes is best worth fixing
I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself to leave the guitar case in the Honda unopen! That’s a myth about the bulletproof glass on the Mercedes Benz, although it is double glazed to make the car quieter inside!
BRAVO MY FRIEND I love it that you went to the car auction and start cars. Thank you for taking the time to explain things about the different vehicles
Hey man, new subscriber to your channel great video. As a 240 owner I was bloody amazed at the lack of rust on that one. Also having owned a V12 I can vouch their pretty daunting but I'd totally have that SEL 😍.
The pieces of metal on the back of the S600 Coupe are parking poles, they deploy when you reverse to allow you to see where the rear of the car is and not hit anything
On the key not detected issues There's usually a spot where you hold the key fob on the column or hit the start button with the fob. That's if the key battery dies.
My former mother in law drove one, and within the family it was called The Tank. I am not sure if that had something to do with the circumstances that occurred when she drove it into the village. It was said that where ever she steered her 240, any other traffic would dash away as soon as she came in sight... 😂
Love your content, I had a similar idea for a channel but never got it off the ground. Glad to see you picking up a lot of views! PS I noticed you don't seem to check tire date codes (on camera at least), but they can help a lot in determining how well kept/recently driven a car is.
9:25 those are there to help you park the car, because if you put the car in reverse, they go up and you can see where the back of the car is (correct me if I am wrong)
You are correct, they pop up when you shift in reverse so you can approximately know where the car ends because it's pretty long. It was like a thing before parking sensors
I think it would be hilarious to make that front of the Silvia FWD, slap an engine way too powerful into it, and just have that. What would be the point of owning that? I have no clue
Bro we love these kind of videos, please make a full length video of restoration and show before and after shot of vehicle, please take the videos of @brotomotive channel as reference, shoot and edit as these people and your channel would be off the charts , see yaa
22:22 My old Pontiac Grand Prix had these vents too. I don't think it would be to get air in with the visor closed because at least on mine the visor wouldn't close unless the sunroof was closed. Still very weird
I believe those might be diplomatic flag mounts on the rear of the Merc, you should check if it has bulletproof windows too lol Edit: holy shit it does, I wonder what the Carfax on this thing looks like
They're indicators for parking, when you put the car in reverse they get up and you can see the corners of the car in your side mirrors. They're like the first version of the parking sensors :))
@@roudass9284 you’re right. They were later replaced with “real” parking sensors. The “antennas” gives you a situational awareness of where the car “ends” and it makes it easier to park without damaging the car
How did you start working at a vehicle auction lot? I'd love to get into cars, but I don't know where to start, I don't even have a proper garage currently,
Question, I want to get into buying auction cars to fix up and sell or add to my collection, but I can’t seem to find any lot auctions like the one that you go to. Other than one that has piles of yelp reviews about employees “bidding” on cars to not let them go for low prices. How does one find an auction site like the one you visit?
Just a question. Are you a dealer of any type, or do you buy cars for yourself. Also you a mechanic and if you did you get and professional schooling of any type. I've been trying to become a mechanic and get a career in cars for a while now and just want to know what path to take.
I just buy cars for myself. There was a point in time where I flipped cars, but that was ages ago. But I’ve been tinkering with cars almost all of my life. I was fortunate enough to have a dad that was a mechanic and he influenced me tremendously. I learned through that and just buying old junky cars (as you can see). Thats exciting that you want to get into cars though! I believe going to a technical school would be the more traditional path if you want to work as a full time mechanic. But I would suggest maybe testing the waters by working on your own car first to see if its something you would love to do everyday. There will be stark difference between working on your own cars vs other people’s cars. Just something to consider. Hope this helps.

The brick volvos will always be cool and nearly indestructible
agreed
Rust kills them

@@bendaga ok. I had joined it but left because I was confused, thank you for clearing it up
the 240sx is actually a 180sx, a 240 has the steering on the left and a 180 on the right

this is the best content ever…i was on your tiktok for 2 hours yesterday 😂 (i have a ls460 also) amazing car
I’m pretty glad that you upload your second video, greetings from Yekaterinburg, you are awesome ✌🏻
thanks for being here man. Cheers from America 🙏

glad you like it so far. That v12 benz would be such a cool story. I’ve been keeping my eye on it

the temptation was there for sure! I wanted to be respectful of people's belongings just in case someone was going to pick it up later though
Please more of this kind videos.... Absolutely love it.
ty- I'll see what I can do
That Volvo was well loved. Hopefully someone can keep it going.
I hope so too...

Im so glad you made episode two, I freaking love your videos they're very relaxing. Keep up the great work my man!
thank you man
For fords there's a slot in the center console to put the key when the battery dies in the key dies out so the can still detect the key
The pieces of metal on the back of the S600 Coupe are parking poles, they deploy when you reverse to allow you to see where the rear of the car is and not hit anything
On the key not detected issues
There's usually a spot where you hold the key fob on the column or hit the start button with the fob.
That's if the key battery dies.
Ah I see - I’ll try that next time I across something similar
The 2dr merc has double glazing. 🎄👍✌️🇬🇧
👌
The little antenas on the back of the S600 are supposed to be the first ever rear breaking censors.
wish I knew earlier or I would've gave them a try
Ziptie, best engineering creation ever
fixes almost anything lol
Bro I doesn't know anything bout cars and ur vids makin me interested in it👍
Especially ur shorts
thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that
240 is great car, i had back in 90s here in finland. Rear wheel drive, great handling 🤣
My former mother in law drove one, and within the family it was called The Tank. I am not sure if that had something to do with the circumstances that occurred when she drove it into the village.

Thanks man, appreciate the tip 🛞
Its 3am malaysia time and i still awake just to see your videos before going to sleep. Just keep it up like this bro !! I appreciate you
dude this is amazing. Hope you get some rest brotha. Thanks for tuning in, cheers from across the world! 🙏🏽
Brick Volvo is a great place for a chevy ls
The metal things on the Mercedes pop up when put in reverse so you can see the corner of the car
LS swapped Volvos are so cool. That would be a solid platform for it.
Ah I see - didn’t know that about the old mercs
Don't know anything about cars but the volvo looks pretty cool.
Great video! Keep up the good work! That Lexus definitely deserves a new home! I hope your possibly thinking of bidding on it??
I liked it quite a bit, just don’t know if I got room for it rn
The Volvo and the Subaru.
cant go wrong
19:23 those are pre-sensor-era backup antennas
feels like space age tech for a 90's benz
I imagine that S13 front clip could of been theft recovery
How much u want for that Lexus LS 👌🏽 fell in love the damage ain’t that bad at all just new bumper and headlight 🤙🏽
I want that LS 460
well as a swedish person . take the volvo looks grate ! will run
I saw your shorts, got hooked, subscribed and have come to the long format videos. Great content my man, keep them coming
Manual honda CRV is absolutely worth it. I wonder what the engine looks like.
Forgot to pop the hood on that one, my fault there
@@bendaga it's all good. 👍
Love your content!
appreciate it!
Very cool cars you find there
9:25 those are there to help you park the car, because if you put the car in reverse, they go up and you can see where the back of the car is (correct me if I am wrong)
not sure tbh, maybe someone in the comments will chime in?

Hey man love the vids, can you try to find a Saab in another video?
ty - I'll see what I can do
I think it would be very interesting to see you buy cats like this Lexus l460, fix them and turn them for a profit
Ohhh boy!! I would love to bid on that Volvo!! I hope it found a good home!
Im a bit mad you didnt open the guitar case to see if were a guitar inside 😂
That Honda CRV is a good daily.
thats what I was thinking
The Lexus ls is a nice fixer
Get the volvo and the benz. All the best from Scotland 🏴
cheers from America
Those short little antennas on the Mercedes are for when u put the gear on revers
This is awesome
Found it!
Banger
ty 💙
the batterie was in the backseat i would wonder if a previous auction contender pulled it to try and stop u from checking the starter
oh yeah good point 🤔
I’ve owned many of these. Great cars
solid choices
I think it would be hilarious to make that front of the Silvia FWD, slap an engine way too powerful into it, and just have that. What would be the point of owning that? I have no clue
anything is possible
I’d say almost all Volvo 240s have sat for some time with an exception of a few of them
Sounds about right
More quality content from you bro 🙏🏻❤️

I believe it’s double paned windows but I could be wrong

@@roudass9284 TIL, cool!
@@bendaga it is, the bulletproof windows wasn’t available for the 140 Coupe. It was only available for the S class sedan (W140)

damn i hope my bugeye wrx dont get stolen lol
My Impreza got stolen pretty recently. Get a steering lock or a tracker if you can!
I don’t know man 3 inches is quite big
W vid
Don’t worry Bendaga, I won’t complain about which car you look at.
I appreciate you 🫱🏽🫲🏾
26:05 I don’t see many of these Subarus in Canada, so seeing one is 😮.
had no idea 👀
👀
On the s600 there were the steel things for reversing
ahh I see, thats pretty cool
What action house is this?
Love the videos
ty 🙏
"Old school rollies" bro my 2008 f150 has those 😔😭

i really wanted to see that guitar

How do theft recovery cars end up at auctions? Was it the insurancecompany?
4:23 3-4 iches is pretty big wdym? (if u get it, u get it)
Someone has to fix up that 240 . They go for huge money overseas now
Go to 3:15 and slow down to 0.25x speed
The car in the thump nail is a volvo 240 one of my fav cars I currently have 2000€ saved up for one
thats awesome; hope you find a good one!
Im currently only 15 so I have lots of time to finde a good one before I get my drivers licens
Buy the S600!
Man all of these were some exciting cars.. how often do u go through the auction house to discover new stuff??
Whenever I can make it work 🤷🏽♂️
That Lexus got my heart racing....
Really would love to know how much it was sold for man 😫🤞🔥
wish I had a way of keeping track of what all the cars went for
Noted mate ..agh I guess it's back to the grind 🤣🤣🤣till we get it fresh .. otherwise that was a good wortg it find 🔥🔥
I’d bet that GM truck has an electrical issue. The fault of that gen
I wouldn't be surprised, the rest of the car was suspiciously clean

you live in Gotham, confirmed.
6:29 It's always sad to see these
yeah makes you wonder what the car looked like before
They yoing the battery 🔋 thats ok..
where do u find these massive auctions I would love to visit some of these
I’d suggest checking whats in your area online
What auction lot do you go to to find these?
Straight pipe the S600 and you will have the best sounding car ever
straight piped V12 would be glorious

Surly fix the v12 mercedes
very tempting
how are you not freezing
I was
@@bendaga thank u for pushing content in such cold weather
do you ever buy cars from these auctions?
only the mustang was a decent car in the entire video
NEED THAT 240
My 240 antennae broke off in a car wash when I first got the car and forgot the antennae was back there
Oof - that happened to me one time with my old civic. The antenna was dangling at the end of the car wash 😭
How do I buy cars like this
