- DO NOT Buy These 5 Mercedes Benz Luxury Cars!
Mercedes Benz is normally an amazing luxury car brand that's known for style, power, reliability, and luxury in most of their cars. There are some real issues though with these 5 worst Mercedes Benz luxury cars. You'll find some seriously unreliable cars, and a lot of talk about rust.
There are just certain #Mercedes #Benz #cars to avoid because of #reliability, and these are the ones I think you should watch out for.

@@ECPP you are welcome
@@ECPP does this include the newer s560 or gl550 2019-2020
I don’t agree with the 210
And you forgot the W116,W126 and W140
W202 is listed as one of the 5 worst !
Had a W202 C200 I imported to Nigeria from Germany. I never had any issues with it, it was my first car and I sold it to my trusted friend about 15 years ago, he still owns it and it still runs like a dream.
Well You Was Very Lucky
Because the ones made in Germany are better made in quality then the ones given in America !! It’s a known fact!!
German cars like to be driven. It sounds like your friend is taking care of his baby.
@@dariusbrown8901 Or a very decent driver
@@cristimanea6673 he said Nigeria 😂 nobody drives wit “decent”
Had a 2000 V8, that I bought new. I kept it for 18 years. Tires/brakes, not much else for my many years of trouble free driving. Loved it.
That's it! One careful owner, that's how they and other brands last, no brainer
With 256,000 miles on my 1998 C230 Sport, non-Kompressor, my only regret is not getting the optional passenger power seat. I never thought I would own it for 23 years. Repairs, tires, belts, hoses, and maintenance cost around $600 a year, give or take. I got 13 years out of the original battery, and 10 years out of the second. It's a California car, still looks great, no rust, I treated the paint with a ceramic coating, and I perform all of the required maintenance on it. I'm told by my independent Mercedes mechanic that it's the last of the "forever" Mercedes, whatever that means.
I still own an r350 cdi and its great. Almost 600k km and still going strong. No rust, very few problems for the amount of time it was used and generally a great luxurious car.
Yeah, mine has 2 million klm, and goes perfect 👌
@@DavidMartinez-cq1fq 😂😂😂😂
It all depends on the handling. Once you buy, always read the operator manuals and adhere to instructions to safeguard from small problems that become worse with time.
I had many of those models and never had any of those problems .
Same
L
Did you have them when they were less than 10 years old?
Yea I bet you did, as in you leased them, had them for three years, and now are surprised why they didn't fall apart in front of you in the few years you had them
agree with you
We have owned two Mercedes-Benz W163s. The first was a 1999 ML320. The second was a 2002 ML500. The 1999 model did have power lock issues and the heater didn't work on the passenger side. Otherwise, the vehicle was reliable, fuel efficient and comfortable. We drove the 2002 ML500 about 133,000 trouble-free miles. We owned a 2008 ML320CDI and drove it about 133,000 reliable and fuel efficient miles. If we hadn't suffered extensive hail damage, we would have continued to enjoy the vehicle. We still own and enjoy our 2008 GL320CDI. It has delivered 187,000 trouble-free and comfortable miles. It is comfortable for long drives and delivers excellent fuel economy.
I still own a 2003 W163 ML500. Owned it since 2008. 232k miles and counting. It does have rust. The car radio and a few oil cooler line leaks but, never anything major. I’ll never sell it.
Use it to pull my boat. Easy to work on yourself easy to find parts and inexpensive to repair....Love the ML500!
I currently own two of the cars on you list. S500, and R500. I have had minimal issues over the years. The S500 did require suspension around 100K miles. No transmission problems, no rust and it is now 18 years old 190k miles. The R500 I replaced the air suspension around 70k miles. Other than the two batteries, no other problems. I live in Southern California, maybe that's why I dont deal with the rust.
Finally someone positive on (S500)..they buy cheap abused cars and come here to rant..take care of your car..and you will be happy..
I love my w220 500 and I dont have no rust
I've got a 03 s500 it does need suspension work still smooth tho. It's got 170 on it. Has rust and needs a tie rod but I think it's pretty great so far
I’ve had my R350 for 3 years and only had one problem with the air suspension. I love it. It’s unique and I don’t really mind having a car that doesn’t look like everything else on the road.
I driven a R 500 the ride was unforgettable. Unfortunately it had too many miles, I still think about buying one. All Mercedes that have the Airmatic ride will fail at some point. So that's a common problem
Replace them with coilovers , u wont need to worried bout the issues anymore , ride a little stiffed tho
@@itzjdub282 bb
For a reason, MB is taxi's almost all over the world. I own my MB nr:5 ( G-wagon, C-class, E-class, E-class, CLA), and today I have the CLA. Just follow the service-program, and take care of your car whatever brand it is. Best cars I ever have owned, with ZERO issues.
I agree with you . I owned many Mercedes and now own three SL Mercedes. Two R129s (95-96) and an R107(82) . I haven't had any real issues with any of them . I like this class and have stayed with it . I also like the E class .
The Mercedes was really engineered for the cold climates in Germany.
Same thing with my old W210 and W220.Top quality cars if well maintenanced,and cheap to own.
What about the paint peeling off? A four year old car ? C’m on. We are talking about Mercedes. An excessively over priced car.
W202 C-Class are actually epic in reliability and durability. My 1999 C230K is fast, rust-free and going strong with over 253,000 miles on the original drivetrain. Sure, little things have been problematic, but after 10 years of ownership, I would not hesitate to drive cross-country tomorrow.
My words exactly.
Oh I own a 1993 C180 automatic and the car is really great! It's fast, reliable, easy to drive - great car! These cars shouldn't be in this list.
My 1997 C230 has only 130k miles and is a gem. It looks exactly like the C280 in the video. When I hit the gas pedal the car takes off really fast. In fact it seems to have more power than my 2007 ML350. Other than the headliner and A/C blower motor which has to be to replaced, it has only required regular maintenance stuff like replace tires, battery, and tune-ups. I often get offers to sell my C230 because the interior and exterior is so clean.
Thank you. I love my 99 kompressor
Dude… I would give anything for that car again. My favorite car from the Benz.
I love the 2005 ML350 and 500 sports edition. No problems so far .
I've had a 2007 X164 GL450 for 13 years. Purchased Certified Preowned (CPO). It now has 240,000 miles on it. I've dealt with many of the issues you've discussed, but even when I add up all of the repair costs, it's been a cheap vehicle to keep over the long haul. I still use it to haul 2 boats that weigh over 5000 pounds. My wife and I use if for very long haul trips. It's never left me stuck on the side of the road. If you stay on top of them, they last forever.
It’s my baby. Same year. Mine is still running strong.
Thank you for your video. As a Mercedes owner of C Class vehicles for over thirty years I personally believe the biggest problems occur because people do not have their cars serviced on a regular basis. I owned two C Class cars for a total of nineteen years. Now, the service cost at the Mercedes dealer made me cry at times but I never had a problem with my cars driving 12,000 a year.
Well said!
I had a 2001 S430 that I bought off lease, so it was three years old. It had every problem you mentioned and a lot more. I traded it in for a Toyota Camry! I have a W204 and a W205 now and they’re much better cars. The W204 is of much better quality than the W205 though.
how’s the m177 c63 engine, split between an m3 or c63s
I was literally on the way to take my 2008 GL450 to the Mercedes-Benz shop for the third time this month as I was watching your video and you are absolutely correct if it's not one thing it's another
@tyree Ingram I feel your frustration... but hope your third visit breaks that trend and you get to enjoy the Big-G for an uninterrupted 12 month period at least :-)
Aside from the R-class, these cars are old AF! If they can survive this long, then I say it's reliable.
Agree most of these cars are VERY old anyway.I would not buy a car older than say 10 years even on a “bargain”.
Reliability has nothing to do with how long a cars survives.If you're spending enough money on repairs you can make a unreliable car last until you get tired of it or go broke.
Toyota/Lexus outlast your life. LOL
Nope. The list is very correct, it's just missing W210 E-class that would deserve its shameful position on this list. 20 years ago it was abad mistake for an owner of still fresh W124 to trade such magnificent car to crap like W210. None of these are worth the star.
I have W204, pre-restyling, diesel engine, 5 speed automatic transmission and it is reliable car. It is best C-class ever in my opinion. Had it for two years with no single issue.
I got my 2008 Merc Benz at 33km had an amazing run.
Only thing on mine the tail light circuit boards burnt out on both sides.
I just spent $1000 on brakes after 3 years.
Just normal basic things like brakes and tires.
Amazing vechicle cheap to run.
I like how you show a current gen C class that most people drive, but the video is about 20 year old Benzes that nobody drives anymore. Of course their going to have problems their all 5-6 owner 100k+ miles.
I still drive my 2001 ML. plenty of people drive older models.
If you want to buy a Mercedes, just buy made in Stuttgart...and give yourself peace of mind.
The W220 was made in Stuttgart?
@@vroomvroombrian1372 No,in Sindelfingen.And it´s a great car.Not all are rusty,either.
yup.
What if my MB was made in yerboodee?
I’ve had two c280, one e320, two e350 4matics. They were all SPECTACULAR vehicles!
How do you remove the back seat ofa2013 e 350 Mercedes Benz
Me too, but mine was the right hand drive version. Awesome car, and I miss it for its power, and reliability + none of the typical rusting.
I got a 2011 E class wagon, and literally drove it through an 8 hour snow storm from Chicago to Michigan. On the other hand, had to fully replace the air intake manifold, but at 120,000 miles something is bound to need replacing. Plus I could do it myself, these cars arent hard to work on(im not a mechanic).
190e was a wonderful, solid Merc that's now achieving classic status & of course had a model breathed upon by Cosworth.
The 190e was an awesome underrated sleeper hotrod
the greatest carmaker on earth
Awesome video and great information!
Thank you very much
Interesting video - But note that none of these 5 cars reviewed are even remotely near the current range. I own a 2017 (current shape) AMG E43 which is simply sensational. The build quality, ride, torque, power, tech and comfort levels are beyond the BMW's, Land Rover and Jaguar I have owned in the last 20 years. Mercedes is clearly back and a very strong luxury competitor again.
Never have seen a W220 in Germany with so much rust. All ML exported to Europe were comletely new build in Bremen, because of the unexecptable qualtiy. In Germany the w202 is known as one of the best build cars from Mercedes
Thanks for mention specifically the generation of the models too rather than broadly categorize the entire series. For example, the W163 series ML is much different than the 2015 ML version of Mercedes Benz, which looks almost identical to the 2016 GLE. The W222 S class definitely made more improvement than the W220 S class.
Thank you Mark fir the Info
You are great excellent skills and great personality
I need to know how do i get notified of your videos ?
I did subscribed but did not see the area to click on the bell and get uour videos
I love the way you explained and detail info.
Many people on your field talk too much and not much info
Thank you
You are very welcome. You can subscribe but do not see the bell? I will check and see from my end as well.
Great video. Whats your take on 2015 gla 45 amg. See alot of those on the roads. Have you had any experience good or bad with them.
I owned a W202 C230K for 7 years drove it daily and I must say it was one of the best cars I ever owned!
An old lady friend has a low mileage W202 that I'll buy when my current W202 perishes. Mine has been a pleasure to own.
Very Informative! Could you do a video on Mercedes Benz S63 AMG Class: 2014 - 2019 Years! Thanks! Stay Safe! S.B.
Love your channel Mark its great.
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated
He isnt lying about the w251 rclass. Ive owned 2 my 1st one was great. The one I have now is currently getting the transmission repaired at 136000 miles. Transmission is known to go bad on Rclass. Replaced MAF, replaced intake manifold, replaced fuel pump and still check engine light code P085. Best benz ive owned was the w219 cls550.
S420 is the best... I've had mine 20 years and only replaced one water hose outside of brake pads...268000 miles and still💪💪💪
ownership plays a big role in reliability. great for you!!
wowwwww .... Ours is E 300 but suspension is not good very low ground clearance ....... not to mention poor interiors especially dash board panel 🙄 ... and rust is coming 7 years down ⬇️
Made in Germany I assume
@@AlexiGreco yes ... Want to sell it offf
W140's are special. Love my '97 s320. Almost 300k on the dial and that inline 6 stills purs like a kitten.
I have that ML320 4MATIC V6 and my friend as at the time bought a BMW X5 V8, whenever we are traveling his car always had an issue with too many problems, he had since sold that X5 as wayback at 2010, mine is still there rocky, look, No car is as durable, rugged and classic as Mercedes Benz in any brand, I guess you're sponsor to do this damage to Mercedes Benz but for us that use Mercedes Benz, is the best in the world
Here in Oz with an ML320, clocked 250k with only a set of glow plugs and a relay. Plus a
couple sets brake pads. Very dependable.
Good video! Very informative! Just the thumb nail was misleading ....I thought maybe newer Mercedes were on this list!!
I still have a 2006 ML 350. (140,000 K miles) Not many problems as you described here. No rust on mine. I keep it in the garage, it looks new.. Yours looks trashed here. Sad. I have owned 4 Mercedes and they have saved my wife's life twice. Very safe cars. Best of luck to you tho. Lots of negatives here. I know no car is perfect but Mercedes have been good to us.
Thanks for sharing Ron. Yes we have had some issues and overall not too impressed but if a person has a good experience then that’s what matters most.
Please does your ml 350 2006 4matic have issues especially on cam shaft as I used to hear?
W202 C-Class in Morocco has a very good reputation, it's an icon.
My W202 remains solid after 23 years. I couldn't ask for a stronger or cheaper car to drive. Last week I used it like a truck to haul 800 kilos of sod, tools, and construction materials. This week it's cleaned up, shinny, and will be ready to haul people around. I still get complements on it, but I've kept up the maintenance.
I think the C class W202 was a very good car quality wise. 10 times more robust and better finished than the BMW E36 of the same period.
True
C-Class is one of the best Mercedes Cars out there! Very family friendly!
@@TheRepublican254 True
Mine keeps on running, has surprising performance for a straight 4, and I've had no complaints with 255,000 miles. Sure, I've spent money on maintenance, but nothing serious, or out of the ordinary.
I have not had E36, but had E21, E28 and was quite happy with them. While the BMW were well built, but no where close to my W124 and W202
I had a 1998 C230 owned it 4 years i never ever had one single problem none
Yep
My C class 2009 model broke the timing pulley.
Had to dig a hole.
I love mercs but the ML 163 shape was crap and interior was nasty..... ended up getting a BMW E53 X5 4.6 Alpina .... still got it.
So weet vid mate. And, at a decent pace. No slow-talker here. Thanks much
Have a 2004 c320 wagon since new . Only had to do General maintenance. No problems whatsoever. I travel state to state. Trust my old mercedes for long distance travel more then my BMW . Great solid car . Smooth and powerful. Only a 5 inch spot of rust . On entire car . Love it . With eBay amazon it's extremely cheap to maintain . Go get one !!
the problm of mbz is there are many cumputer chips in the car, and when they fail, so....expensive to get them replace.
I had a w202 and it was okay, had issues with the MAF and throttle body as well as the depicted rusting issues but it was an alright car nonetheless! Always got me home! Now I have a w211 E350 and it’s treating me quite well
@onestopshopsloptherop6129 what year do you have? Is it 4matic? Thanks
@@GodsImage1223 my w211 is a 4matic 2008 187k miles on it!
Lol C-class w202 in my country are already 20+ years old and they don’t have serious problems.Nobody can kill this car.
Love my ML500.... It's a little beast and it's also a little beast at the gas pump too..... Only problem I've had with it thus far is power steering she's a 2005 I bought her with a hundred six thousand miles she now has a hundred and twelve....knew the power steering unit was bad when I bought it..... Cross my fingers I hope that's the only problem I have........ If gas prices don't start going down she is going to have to go bye bye....😐
Had C220 and no issues till I sold it with 230,000 klms....It was a reliable and well balanced car. Certainly not sporty.
I'm a 20 year Master Mechanic with Mercedes Benz. The new ones have all of the problems these old one had plus more problems. literally a problem with every part of the car.
including the E class?
What about the CLA Class?
What about the GLE 350?
@@HectorHernandez-wm4ey yes it has its problems. Lots of issues with the radio and entertainment system, Android auto and Apple car play issues. Windows that don't work correctly and squeak when going up and down,the seats will stop working, check engine lights, sunroof issues... I can keep going.
Thoughts on 2009 gl 450?
Your fellow Canadian was right about that S 500: "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979)
Glad my two aren't on that list. I have a 2013 w204 C350 coupe that I love, and my wife has a 2016 GLE350 with none of the issues of that ML.
I still own a c230k. apart from wear and tear my cars been reliable. I've had it 16 years. But I've had 2 air mass meters.its done 300000 miles now. So not too bad.. All cars break..but they fix
Love mines be good to it . It'll be good to you
Mercedes benz have not learnt the art of a good air suspension system, love the look, owned four but back full time to Toyota. Too many things to go wrong with the Mercedes.
I guess he is sponsored to destroy Mercedes Benz image in the market
Do a review on Peugeot 3008 suv I'll love to know what you think
Thanks a lot. All true what you said. Also, electrical issues on S class were a pain a butt!!!
As a W140 owner I am glad you did not mentioned that one haha
I've had 2 w203 c classes one was a wagon and one a sedan that I still have, both way past 200k miles the one I still have runs absolutely perfect just a couple interior pieces that broke, and of course the head lights are slightly foggy
You just hit the bulls eye with this video 👌
Thank you very much
The German built W163 I had here in Britain is a well built car, I only had injector seals leaking and body rust problems only
Had c180 99 models since 2009 with almost 300k km still run awesomely, I never had any issues with it...
My old man had one of those ML models and literally didn't have a single one of those issues - but it was the most numb and miserable car to drive. He got an X5 and it felt like a Lamborghini in comparison
They do drive more like a car than a conventional suv
I was seriously looking at the R-Class but now am like hmmmmm..😟🤔🤦🏽♂️
You made me subscribe when you said brown stain 😂😂😂😂 thanks 🙏🏿 for the info I’m in the market
Lol, thanks for watching and welcome to the channel
What are your on the glk 350 I’m looking at a few cars and that made us one of them any thoughts or red flags?
That first Mercedes was scrap iron... I don't know why, but Mercedes cars always felt DIY-Unfriendly to me...
The cars I want in the near future (in no particular order):
1. Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon
2. Acura TLX Type S
3. Volkswagen Golf GTI
4. Peugeot 508 GT (when Peugeot returns to USA, of course)
5. Tesla Model S
Other cars I like include the Tesla Model 3, Acura NSX, Porsche 911, Dodge Charger, and Ford Mustang.

@@letscuthairtoday9038 Well now it looks like Peugeot won't return. :(
Hey @exoticcarplayplace
Can you share some info on w205 c400 2015ish I am looking to buy. Any tips?
That DB boss needs to be legally liable for his decisions that ended up ripping off customers who paid well over a hundred grand for a renowned ‘superb’ S-Class... am shocked at the rust! Glad my beloved old German built E350 W211 2006 wasn’t mentioned ;-)) Awesome that she still has zero rust but has had several well known other issues! Regardless, well maintained it is always an absolute joy to drive-especially when returning after driving nearly anything else at all :-)
You think nothing should ever go wrong on any Mercedes? Sure! Just like good ol' American cars - there are good ones and bad ones! I've relied largely on older (10-20y/o) MBs to get my family around for the last ten years - only had to put one on a truck so far - and that one was 27 years old and at 315000km at the time!
I've been hearing that the ML onto the GLE had been pretty solid...
Though that bit about the same generation S Class means that some early 2000s QC issues hit Benz, too... along with a bunch of other auto makers.
Still like the GLE, though... have it on a particular wishlist.
Very nice
"If it's too good to be true, it must be a Mercedes Benz W202".
Ouch
@@ECPP As a mechanic once told me: "there are two types of cars in the world, the Mercedes Benz and the rest".
I agree. I have gl350 2013 bluetec and have had many minor problems.
Oh no, not good
takata affected almost every brand thats on takata not Mercedes , Mercedes was even replacing airbags before takata took responsibility and action unlike many other brands that waited for takata to admit fault and start paying for the work ect
Yes... I appreciate that those lethal Takata bags weren’t installed on my E350. She has ten air bags so swapping them all out would mean lots of disruption and more potential errors perhaps...
Remember the slogan ,"the best or nothing". I own one GLC 43 AMG, V6 biturbo....a lot of power man! No issues!
Great machine and solid drivetrain for this vehicle
Missing the worst is the W211 E class, ask every taxi driver in Holland and Germany..
Two happy days in a Mercedes Benz C300 owners opinion. The day you get it and the day you get rid of it.
All these models were released during the disastrous Daimler-Chrysler period, quality was compromised over profits. So anything from 1995 - 2007 is rubbish. Benz have gone back to their engineering roots starting with the w204 c class onwards
For sure and they have. watch improved on everything.
Not sure about all of the W202 c classes, but I would love to own that v8 c43 amg you showed in your video lol.
That's one, hot, future collector car. Only 500 imported to the U.S.
First Gen 63 liter engine 1998-2010, had faulty head bolts that would corrode to the point of failure which could result in complete engine failure. It also had hard lifters that would cause premature cam wear.
I sill own my ML w163 since 2004 and is the best car ever I had and I will never sell it. Maybe I will now consider the GLE or GLS, but I am still reluctant to change it. Never got issues you mentioned. I leave in mountain with lot of snow and the performance is unbeatable comparing to most other similar car I had or I have tried.
Looks like the E-class is the best Mercedes to buy
I would say overall, yes and nicest bang for buck too
@@ECPP Hello, sir. I have a 2013 E350 Cabriolet. It's based on the old CLK platform. I have 83k miles on it and only drive her about 5k miles a year. It's been solid, but do you think it will continue to be so, at its age and mileage? Thanks!
EClass is the best all the way. Drive a 2015 E350. Runs like a champ.
the greatest carmaker on earth to me....greetings from Jamaica
I think the E-class is used as a taxi in Germany.
Never buy a car made in the USA made on Friday 😂
Why are you saying that
I own a S500 and it’s still smooth. Replaced the air ride but other than that can’t beat the S500.
Nice
That R class, i remember when i first saw this atrocious vehicle in a dealership, and i asked myself, 'what is that and why?'
Its like a minivan.....why? lol
I have a 2001 Ml320 and have had it since 04 and it has been the best vehicle that I have owned, very few issues at all and it has 173.000 miles on it. The only thing is now that it's older it needs valve cover gaskets every couple of years but otherwise nothing major.
That sounds like a good track record
@@ECPP it is, I drive this vehicle everyday and have pretty much since I purchased it. The worst thing that has happened to it was my transmission mount broke,my friends tell me that you can afford to buy a newer one but why should I when this baby is still running like it was when I purchased it. I do also have a 96 S420 as well but I rarely drive it and keep it in storage.
Couldn't agree more, I work with them and they are terrible.
Thanks for sharing
still the greatest carmaker on earth to me....greetings from Jamaica
@@booblam6919 they are, I own a Marcedes! Just these 5 model year are terrible.
Christmas Eve bought a '95 W124 E280,zero rust ,M104 straight 6 193 HP, it's drives beautifully ,comfortable ,thanks Santa!
I inherited a 2006 R320 from my uncle and have never had a problem. It's my wife's daily drive and has been used for city driving as well as highway travel. A friend of mine has an R350 and swears by it. Obviously maintenance is a key.
Had a C220 about twenty years ago and pretty much had all the problems you mentioned but I also had AC problems and the headliner falling and the leather seat stitching breaking. This car was cancer!
still the greatest carmaker on earth by many
Still got my C230 Kompressor in excellent condition....the only thing I recently replaced was the radiator. Runs great!
For the MLs 1999-2005
These cars are very tough SUVs
If you get a used one, you have to check if the owner maintained it well
Other than that they are nice cheap luxury cars to have
Never left me stranded
Have one that is about 159000 miles in CA
I owned 2002 ml320 trouble free, but i read a lot of horrible stories online forums. like any vehicle hit or miss
I have an ml430 sport model. It has been a dream. CA and high desert drivers. The plastics are brittle in places but if you can handle that, they are great for a 19 year old SUV. V8 - 268hp, just lovely. I threw in a new head unit and now I have a lot of modern tech at my fingertips to boot.
215,000 on my ML430.
I don’t know if I agree with you Big Mark, in regards to the looks of the R-class. I think it was a pretty fly design...especially if you trying to hold on to your coolness while being a soccer ⚽️ dad at the same time 😂. But then I’m a big lover of anything that resembles a shooting break design 😆✌🏾❗️
I drive the 2002 ML500, 343,882 and still runs like a champ. Yeah it’s had its issues , but this is the easiest vehicle to work on. Seriously the easiest vehicle to work on.
Yes yes yes
My sister had a 320ml and in 12 years put 360,000 miles on it. She hardly changed the oil and it was quite dependable. But every car is different
You mean every owner.
@mrsportschampion5796 you mean both every car & owner! 😅
The w212 is still my favorite Mercedes 4 door 2nd the W221 3rd Cls 2006-11.
Thanks
Can you review the glc 300 2020 and how reliable it is. Thanks
I have a 96 C220 2.2L, 26 years old.
In perfect condition.
I just put in an 800 watt power amplifier to the original Becker radio along with a digital music light display unit where the cassette holder is also a dual 3.0 USB charger.
Mine has the head light wipers .
I'm looking into a turbo charger for this engine so I won't need a 6 cylinder.
do you just show up at mercedes dealerships parking lots and trash their cars 🤣
No
Something tells me He goes to their factories and warehouses also. Lol
@@ECPP love your channel. What’s your advice on a 2018 Mercedes gla 250? Thinking of buying one. Thanks
