The opening sequence is why you have to be SO carefull buying used. My 2015 S550 has just over 110,000 absolutely trouble free miles. Just got 29.4 MPG at an average speed of 71 MPH, have gotten as much as 32 MPG at an average speed of 65 MPH. Still looks like new. No problems ever.
@@MrPhymedhi did you have any problems with the engine like timing chain or the gearbox? Im looking forward to buy my self w222 S350d bluetec. What to look out for when buying used? Many thanks
@@Luchy1119 I had absolutely zero issues with the engine and the gearbox. Look for a well maintained w222 since factory, preferably by the dealer, and make sure the gearbox is timely serviced. Don’t buy a car that was used for taxi, the engine running time on these is waaaay higher than the miles driven.
I think they used the mileage and average speed to calculate the engine hours Example 100 km is the mileage and average speed is 40kph It is 2 and half hours (This car records average speed) Also a diagnostic laptop will show average speed throughout lifetime
You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 the exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit toy must remove the coolant to clean the back flow. The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive. The rigged the software like they did in the Diesel engine. The problem is “Fuel system monitor not completed” 15 states do not pass to drive the car and you cannot do anything about.
The OM-656 400 D is absolutely by far the best engine choice for this car it is both powerful, fuel efficient and reliable the S63 V8 is also a very good engine but the maintenance costs are very high on those, personally i would avoid that engine above 90 000 kilometers milage.
Hm... After 3 new E class and 4 new S class , I have to say stay away from these cars or you will , yes you will go broke ! These are the only cars that will break down while parked in the garage . Yes PARKED . Only Mercedes is doing it . Wiring harness are disintegrating with age . 3 yrs old and all of them must be replaced . Every 5k there is4 additional trouble codes ,, etc etc. Buy it only while under factory warranty ! Remember it will loose. 80% of its value in the first 4 yrs. Lexus IS the way to go . Never again will I buy a German made garbage , yes German GARBAGE !
Dear sir i am thinking to buy W221 or w222 used have mileage around 100 k , from s Korea and ship it to syria. i am currently in california but get job in syria, please i need your advice, thanks
if you really have to have a MB,....Than go with w222 , avoid the M157 engine , It is a leaking garbage DO NOT BUY those Rather look for m278 or m276 3,5 motor Check engine compartment wiring harness connectors for presence of oil . If yes , you'll have to replace the whole harness .. About $ 5,2k parts and labor . On the other hand, W 213 is fairly reliable ..... Look for the one M276 motor

True indeed, amen!
I’m on 362000 miles, same engine no chain replacement yet original turbo,suspension,transmission etc
I call cap
wow ! i think you do everything on time
KM or miles?
I am looking for a used 2014 s63, but it has driven 350.000 kms. Should i buy it, or is too much?
My v6 diesel has 829 thousand km. It runs and looks like new! Meticulous maintenance en careful driving is the key.
which model and year is your V6?
@@thatsmeufo
2014 s350d bluetec.
What’s surprising is that even the turbo and air struts are still original.

@@MrPhymedthanks for advise how do i find out the engine running time?
200,000 km for the diesel V6 is nothing, especially if they are 70/30. Those diesels can last 500-600km easily
In Bulgaria they inport them 600k + there are some cases of 900k+ working with no issues. Talking about the V6 diesels of MB.
regular gas engine will run forever as well, if you take care of it
I brought mine with 70k miles now on 130k miles so 200 kms , still runs perfect, expensive to maintain though but beautiful and safe car
What were some things you had to fix/maintain?
@Ymcdaj only just seen this reply, I now own w220 320cdi :) , the w222 main things where wheels cracking , control arms / ball joints/ wheel bearings
@@jimmyb269 other than wheels cracking , sounds like regular upkeep for the car with 130K miles on it
Where is the link for the taxi driver’s Channel?

How do you find the engine hours?
I think they used the mileage and average speed to calculate the engine hours
Example 100 km is the mileage and average speed is 40kph
It is 2 and half hours
(This car records average speed) Also a diagnostic laptop will show average speed throughout lifetime
How do you clean the the air suspension?
they clean dust , mud , also use special chemicals for rubber lubricate everything , check for leaks
@@snggarageeng I want to get this car used 2018 model. But I'm in Canada, and terrified of ripoff mechanics here

Does this apply to the V6 or V8?
Thanks man.
Fantastic car but Airmatic can become troublesome and it’s eye watering expensive to repair
agree
I really like the S Class.
Fantastic car
agree
Approved 😇👏🙏

agree
I have the S500 V8 4.7L and maintance costs for me are around €1500 a year
This review is matching to all cars.. and has nothing to do with Mercedes S500
Hm... After 3 new E class and 4 new S class , I have to say stay away from these cars or you will , yes you will go broke !

Never again will I buy a German made garbage , yes German GARBAGE !
soon i will make video about lexus LS
You bought 7 of their cars and ate all of the worst depreciation it seems so MB must be doing something right
Strange. I have the very first build of this car (8/2013) and no problems at all. S500.

Check engine compartment wiring harness connectors for presence of oil . If yes , you'll have to replace the whole harness .. About $ 5,2k parts and labor .
On the other hand, W 213 is fairly reliable .....
Look for the one M276 motor
