Probably the strangest moment for a car guy... when your new car gets inspected and it isn’t a piece of shit
Yeah, my jaw dropped at that
@The King The State didn't inspect the car, a dealer did, on his request to find out what needed attention. Did you even watch the video?
@The King I pay someone to inspect it so I'm not wasting money. A purely capitalistic move you dumbass.
Ex wife #2 worked at Hooters ......... The S class Mercedes is a much safer bet . I speak from experience.........lol
Love this comment . Has made my week
@@bberllam Just a wonderful comment, while still beautifully predictable.
Rob you are the reason why I watch all the shows...you are freaking hillarious!
An actual LOL!!
Probably a similar probability of either of their airbags going off unintentionally though.
“Once you exclude the ones that have advertised with them in the last 12 months....”😂😂😂 best quote from Ed hands down
No fake news here.
Applies to basically every car magazine or review source ever, but yeah, I couldn't stop laughing.
It’s a good tip.
So I guess Chevy and Ford trucks aren’t good then since they advertise with publications all the time? Got it. 🤔
venom5809 has nothing to do with that, however if Ford or Chevy advertised heavily with a specific publication you should take their reviews of said manufactures very lightly, due to an increased possibility of a bias
I listen to Ed before bed. It's like he's telling me a bed time story without actually being there.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
So true - an Ed story before bed is a blessing!
Yesss same
Funny, he's the last thing I listen to before bed every night, even if it's a video I've seen. I guess it is sort of a bed time story/comfort thing
holy shit , i was thinking im the only one 😂
"Look at all the things that have already been done" - definitely sounds like me trying to convince myself.
Don Pablo the situation i am in currently, looking at a car with nearly 250000 kilometers on the odometer 😂
Thomas Autengruber damn, lemme guess Audi?
It's a really really good thing, to see all those things done. As cars get older, all those things need to be done. Some of them are 50k-75k-100k-150k milage things. Things that can get to be very expensive to have done. So buying a car that has all the high mileage service fundamentals properly done, is actually a HUGE DEAL.
I buy my cars the same way as Ed on that point, anyway.. From some older gent, woman, or couple that has done all the right service work, and then buy the car super cheap..and drive it for 2-3-4 years and do ZERO service on it.
Then, at the end... limp it to the junkyard, for my down payment on my next high mileage used car at super cheap prices. Last one cost me $1200 total, including the purchase price, for +4 years of driving. never buy new!
I never buy specific models or brands, that's how you walk into financial deathtraps. I buy the right car in the right condition. Could be a Buick, a Chrysler, a ford, a Toyota, a Nissan...who knows. It just has to be the right serviced car.
@@thomasautengruber8369 250.000 kms is not that much for a 2.0 or bigger engine
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way😂
I'm not saying we should have an S-class race, but...
You should have an S class race
Race across USA?
You don't race an S65. Maybe you race a lowly S63, but in the S65 you simply show up, point to the car, and automatically win.
To understand the difference between a mere S63 and the S65, ask Doug to go over all the quirks and features.
@@stephen3164 Tavarish has a S600....
I’m not saying I would watch, but...
My fiancée saw the silver s class with the VINwiki license plate about 2 weeks ago on Buford Hwy. She was so excited she sent me a pic to show me the car
You found a good one. Congrats!
Juan Carlos Dominguez
You my friend, are so FUCKING lucky to have found a girl like that. She’s pure diamond man, don’t loose her.
On a side note, If there is one road in Atlanta called international Blvd, how the hell is it not Buford hwy.
She sent a picture of the car or her exited, I would prefer the car pic.
Frankie M the car lol
"My car gift has always been looking like someone who won the lottery ten years ago..." may be one of the best line's I've heard Ed utter, and that's saying something when that list includes the phrase "are those butt implants?"
My favorite is "a cross between a turkey baster and a jack hammer
I had a $100k BMW Dinan fully spec'd car - that I bought 15 years after it was made. It was in excellent condition and I got lots of comments from guys who had brand new M3's and such. (Of course it bled me dry trying to keep everything 100% functional!)
The great thing about a mid-late 2000's Mercedes is the average person won't even know it's not a brand new car. They still look great.

I have always thought this about myself. I buy bad ass cars all from mid 2000s
The fact ed knows who mitch hedberg is/was just seals the deal on him Being a badass...
Agreed. I recited the Escalator bit in my head while Ed told it. I now know - as if I didn't know before - that Ed is my people.
@@wheelman9447 i met Mitch a few days before he passed away at a show in Miami ... He was awesome
My favorite joke of his by far as well
Props to Ed for sliding in the Hedberg joke, much appreciated, but i'm confused,
does this mean Ed's going to be living in his Range Rover up on a lift in a service bay.
maybe overnight after the manual transmission crack.
Career technician, worked on them, curate's egg.
RIP to one of the best! Mitch H is a legend!

VINwiki respect this, but I wouldn’t personally judge you if youtube is your main job/source of income. Still rare practice nowadays, nice
@@xxi7052 I don't think RUclips is his main source of income
@VINwiki seriously guys in cases like that just long out the adverts on the end by a lil bit, us guys genuinely wont mind watching it, especially if it gets you some money too, thats like the only way we can pay back for all this sick content lads
Cr0y Frog exactly
"Strapping my 4 year old son to a gasoline bomb" god I love this channel
Ed you make decisions as poorly as I do.
Your logic is infallible, carry on.
And he's got the whole shrewd negotiator deal on lock too!
The way he describes things is positively fantastic 😂
I owned a W220 S55 AMG with the Designo packge. Haven't had a car since that compares to the S class. Way ahead of their time.
WillyG nothing rides or drives like an S.
I will take all of this bad advice you have to offer Ed. Thanks.
Yes, me too, and then i'm gonna by me a Fiat Punto because thats what I can afford
That jab at State Farm had me rollin 😂
*Snake Farm
State Farm sucks
The worst thing that can happen to an escalator is it can become stairs,sorry for the convenience😂
In case you’ve heard of the guy who Ed credited for that genius one-liner, that’s a Mitch Hedberg bit. (R. I.P.) there’s a ton of videos of Mitch on YT 🙌
Sweet! An Ed Bolian video on the same day my Ed Bolian signed book arrives in the mail.
Enjoy the book!
@@EdBolian about the book, have you though about voicing an audiobook version? I would buy that for sure.
Gearbhall
Have Siri read it for you
@@QazRiyami -- While yeah, Siri would read the audiobook just fine, there's just something about Ed's voice and preexisting storytelling ability that would make him the perfect choice for reading pretty much ANY audiobook
@@Gearbhall I would absolutely buy that audiobook!
Bummer. I thought Ed had the perfect life, then he says his wife can't drive a manual transmission. 😪
in summary, he needs to ditch the wife
@@Jets613 fuck it that's a dumb Idea they love each other have a little kid.
It makes boundaries easier.
@@anirudhmallikarjun7067 it's called a joke
What fantasy world do you people live in? Lol
The hooters analogy was golden
Gotta love that S-class AMG depreciation.
If only the repair bills depreciated too
The amount of analogies in this video is more than the cosmetic surgeries Kimi has.
Does that mean, too much?
wtf kimi has cosmetic surgeries. I'm confused
Last time I was this early, Kimi didn't have butt implants.
@@EdBolian naaaa, keep them rolling in like a rear ended c4 racecar that won't quit.
@@blakea216 well done
Ed is a great story teller. He’s the reason I watch vinwiki
'We're sorry for the convenience' that's a great turn of phrase, stealing that. (ranks somewhere alongside, I'd like to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong)
“Choosing amongst options like that is like inviting someone to play Russian Roulette but filling all the chambers; but just proceeding with the general expectation that most of the time the gun won’t work.” Deliciously descriptive, wickedly funny prose.
Ed is by far my current favorite VINWiki presenter. He just has a nice way of presenting, smooth transition, and rational thought. Plus a lovely speaking voice. Could listen to him for days.
So unbelievably humble not extending the damn video 3 seconds because it would be inconvenient for us. This is why this Chanel deserves everything
There's something all too funny about watching Ed declare the Range Rover to be among the world's best cars after watching Hoovie detail all the things wrong with his (mechanically totaled was how he described it), and then burying it in a hole that originally held his LeBaron convertible.
That said, I don't know why I have never owned a S Class Mercedes of some sort. I've enjoyed each one I've driven, and I've driven most generations of S Class at least once (still need to check the W140 and the latest generation off the list). It's not as if it'd be that much more to maintain than some Volkswagens, like the B5.5 Passat I recently got out of my life.
Good luck with that S65...
Ed, the best yet! I was laughing all the while, alone at my laptop, and sharing the pain! Congratulations on the new car and thanks always for your expert advise! M.
Ed this is like the 4th time I have watched this and it cracks me up every time. So true. I my brother bought a brand new Blueish Range Rover Sport SE that showed its true colors when it was a mere 8 days old. It was at the Rover dealership more than it was at his house. And he LOVED IT
I never realized how much I would come to enjoy a RUclips channel. This guy Ed is a great story teller, keep up the great work fellas
“Strapping my son to a gasoline bomb”
My best laugh of the day 😂
"Look at all these things that have already been done" - me looking at a hawkeye WRX. It especially seemed good because it was almost all done in the past 9 months. Except when I get there all the work was done with boy racer parts. I figured, I was going to do a lot of similar stuff so I'll give it a chance, until i stall it every 3rd start because the clutch is like squatting 150 lbs and it had a grip range of about 2 mm - he must have been planning on putting an enormous turbo on it and ran out of money.
Ed, another great story...Ed's the type of guy you would have a beer with and let him tell stories for hrs and never get bored. Whoever butchered that S65 should never own a vehicle again.
I love the V12 S-Classes but I would probably never buy one, at least out of warranty. I still remember when I bought my first S-Class and I was getting it serviced one time, I was in the back talking to the tech and he was working on SL600 and said it needed a new engine and I asked him how much it would be and he said something like $50,000. Nope. Even though all my stuff on my cars was always taken care of by warranty, I can't recall a single invoice under $700, keep that in mind for those of you looking to buy out of warranty 6 figure German cars.
Up until it needs work done. Parts and labor are not cheap for those things.
Jeremy Clarkson likes the Range Rover, Ed likes the Range Rover. He needs to be the host of Top Gear.
This is a really good idea
@@kevin2m4 I can't fault the logic
Ive always said Top Gear just isnt top gear when they try to remake it for a new country. I could totally see Ed hosting Top Gear America and it becoming just as beloved.
He would be great for Top Gear America. I don't know who does the casting decisions for the Top Gears but they need to be fired, they are really bad at picking the proper hosts.
David C. Yep, the good old Too Gear was the best. I don’t know what idiot thought that Joey from Friends would be a good idea? SMH
Top Gear USA may have had a prayer if they hired people like Ed. Loved the Rover bit ... I understand as I'm now going outside to replace more parts to my 04 LR2.
I’m Facebook friends with my Land Rover service rep. Strangely it has had zero issues, 93k and counting.
"The worst that can happen to an escalator is that it becomes stairs" 😂😂
“It’s actually a really nice car!” 😂😂😂
Ed and I have similar buying styles. If someone doesn't scream at you to not buy a car, that's their endorsement to buy it
Ed the champ story teller, by far!
definitely cool
I've been hooked on Ed's videos after finding this channel a few weeks ago. And I knew I loved Ed's videos. But he just made a Mitch Hedberg reference.. I didn't know I could love his stories more
S Class is a service advisors dream😏 especially the M156 engine.
Mitch Hedberg reference. Nice.
Any opportunity
Thanks ed
His English and story telling is on another level. I think I need to relearn English and start reading novels and books.
The Range Rover thing is literally is VW bois 😂😂 most accurate description of the dub scene ever haha
Loved the Mitch hedberg reference Ed !
Thanks! We miss Mitch.
I was looking for this comment 👍
Last time I was this early, the entire dealership didn't have the same STD profile.
Clint Gliford I would say that you are the equivalent of Justin.Y in all these VINwiki videos.....
Clint Gliford heeeh
That S Class/relationship expert analogy was hilarious and so true!
I have to say, I was holding my breathe on this on. I have the same 07 S65 AMG and just love it so far! Wonderful car..
The Hooters waitress analogy had me dieing 😂😂😂
He starts the video saying he wants something reliable that he never has to worry about, then goes on to mention vehicles that are either always in the shop, are unbelievably expensive, or both - lmfao. Ed if you actually want a car you never have to worry about then get a Lexus or something.
I genuinely lol'd at "I've never been able to teach her to drive a stick more than the distance it travels when it stalls."
Thanks for that great story, Ed...always enjoy yours! You made me laugh out loud so much I almost woke my 5-1/2 yr old son in the next room. Such an ironic story you told because the exact same thing happened to me this week with a cheap 2002 Acura RL I just bought...service manager at Acura told me it was the finest example he’s ever seen - we both were shocked and laughed our butts off! Hope it turns out to be true so I’m not stuck taking my son to kindergarten in a few inches of snow driving my 91 NSX 🤣. God bless you, Ed & your great car stories too.
First time I've heard a Mitch Hedberg quote used like that and I like it.
I am not sure it was a perfect fit but a marginal Hedberg opportunity is an opportunity I will gladly take.
I think we should look into an exploratory committee for Ed's 2020 run. Who wid me
I found this channel 4 days ago and binge watched every video Ed just oozes charisma and seems like a great guy to be around.
I could listen to Ed for hours upon hours he’s such a great conversationalist
Crazy how we live in a world where auto insurers don't take into account the car's depreciation or any cars depreciation.
They sure do when one gets totaled!
I was starting to wonder when your new daily would get it’s world premier. Excellent story. 👌👍
And....you include the beauty of Mitch Hedberg’s fantastic insight. This is my favorite VINwiki to date. I just shared it with a friend who keeps buying used BMWs because, well, they’re BMWs. And they’re both in the shop. Again
My dad used to have a 2004 s600 and man was that the best driving car I’ve ever driven.... even today working at a dealership no new luxury cars deliver the same experience, everything now tried to be too sporty. These cars were pure luxury with a shit ton of smooth torque
One year later....... ‘hello Freddie, got a new project car for you!’
Range Rovers are like a bad girlfriend... love it and embrace its issues.
“An escalator breaks and the worst that could happen is that it becomes stairs, sorry for the convenience.” Hahahah I love Ed
This may have just become my favorite story! The analogies and narrations throughout the video were simply perfect and hilarious. Great job as usual, Ed!
This is one of the best story’s you’ve done Ed!
Wow. Thank you!
he just overdoes himself every video
The title should be "Ed Makes a Decent Purchase?"
True
Theurban Robinhood g
Thx Ed 4 the great compliment on the S Class! I have 4 supercharged S55's ('03-06) which I'm restoring now...
I love the honestly of Ed on what to buy and what to stay away from when buying cars.
I totally agree with all of them but the Range Rover. I know what you mean when you say you like it but I'd say that's more of a massive marketing win rather than a good car.
Great video!
100% correct. It is eerily good how they are marketed. Imagine if they still did Camel Trophy!
Let’s get a garage update
Range Rover is working, 993 is going strong, S65 can't move because no insurance, S55 has a tag going on 3 years expired due to fuel vent, CL55 is good but the doors don't work when it is cold, Audi is hurt and in Arizona with the Murci, Murci is prepped and ready for Verde Draco paint.
i really enjoy how well you narrate your stories, very well put together and entertaining!
Ed, that Hooters analogy was hilarious! Literally made me laugh out loud! Savage!
That was not what I was expecting as something that had never happened to Ed.
I always love Eds stories. This is another one!
2:38 “The best four by four by far” 😂😂😂 this has me dying the way it sounds as it’s pronounced.
I love this channel. I don't know many other car guys anymore and watching these vids makes me feel like I still have interesting car buddies. And all the other cool guys hang out here too lol
When I first saw the title for the video I thought "Wow, Ed bought a Honda or Toyota." But then I remembered.."wait, this is Ed." (Hope this made you laugh. I always love the VINwiki videos.)
Am I the only one that just figured out that Ed dailys the cannonball car?
I don't like big sedans and I don't like Mercedes. Yet I couldn't stop, listening to Ed talk is listening to a symphony.
Excellent Ed! I have a ‘91 S-Class I bought for only $500 and I’ve been fixing it up to be my new family car. It’s a really nice driving car, somewhat timeless in that regard.
Range rover is like an iPhone. It's sht and expensive but people keep buying it
And the VINwiki app also works better on Range Rovers.
An android is like a red sports car, everyone thinks it’s a Ferrari until you tell them, then they are disappointed.
Range Rover has it soul but iPhone only has simple interface for grandparents
Except a range rover doesnt work
B.Roa 23 wrong
Last time I was this early, Dougie was awed by a parking brake lever.
Land Cruiser?
Lol the beginning is hilarious. I agree, you have to step back and say wait I do not own a single “normal” car...
i actually owned a Land Rover Discovery 2, loved it, yes it broke every 50 yards and i may have swore at it the most but it always was the best to work on and surprisingly the cheapest to run out of the cars ive owned
Thank you for finally releasing the monster 👍
Insurance is such bullshit, I have to go for collector insurance on my $7,000 Supra because none of the mainstream Australian insurance providers will ensure a car that they deem "sporty" to anyone under 20.
Great job, Ed! Love your videos and everything from VINwiki!
One of my favorite cars. Have a fond memory of being driven to my Year 12 formal in one, as a family friend had just picked up a brand new '11 S65 AMG in the same color too! I remember finding the front brakes so interesting haha.
The S65 is pure class. Really want one of these in my fleet when I’m older and can afford it lol
Ed talking about owning a "normal" car in the first min? Who is this impostor??
I'm a petrol head but I openly admit that the best all round car in the world right now is a Tesla Model 3. Among the most safe vehicles whilst being able to embarrass just about any car at the lights after dropping the kids off at school, not to mention the energy independence by charging the car from your own solar generation, they also hold their value and with less parts to break, there's less maintenance costs and thus a lot of savings.
I'm also a Brit living in the US and will openly admit no one in America should buy a Range Rover, I don't know what it is but Range Rovers that have been made for the US market are utterly terrible.
Congratulations on a win Ed! I am jealous, just had the other 90 percent of the used car market myself, so I am happy someone somewhere is getting a better hand dealt to them
Range Rovers get annihilated by Toyota Land Cruisers
J KERLS they are not even comparable really
J KERLS In what respect?
Reliability, yes.
Off road capability, they’re even.
User comfort, no.
The hooters wife comment almost made me pee myself.
For some reason, I was expecting to hear Camry and Accord. As soon as Ed said V12, I quickly remembered what channel I was watching...chuckled to myself
S class is a great choice. I like the jeep grand Cherokee loaded better than the range rover though. Mitch Hedberg was a genius. One more thing......toyota camry. They are very nice and VERY reliable. Thanks ed for another great video!
