2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Review: ruclips.net/video/TB0kT00XXHs/видео.html
I'm not a fan of the body on that Merecdes. But you do make cool vids.
i own same year . maintenance is KEY!!!! 115K on mine
i have an 07 with 119k and maintenance is for sure the key
U bought it new? @@prodbydanny
I bought a 2014 Hyundai Equus with 200,000 miles after watching your vids. It’s runs sweet!
Massive congrats my friend glad it's running good
@@MeynMotorGroup thanks!
The w211 e63s don’t have electronic brakes, it has a traditional set up. You might be confused with the w211 e55s, those do have the electronic brakes that everyone complains about, but they changed them for the e63s.
Another solid review of a performance classic.... my favorite was the E55 from the Korn "Got the Life" video.
A man of culture I see! And yea I remember doing the E55 review at Cary Imports really loved driving that car!
Very well informed review. My '09 E63 at 56k miles now and has never gave me an issue. None of the Mercedes that comes after it have caught my attention so I guess I'm driving my W211 to the grave!
All I hear is positive reviews about this car, cant wait until I get mine.
Gorgeous car, great review Kevin , I've been perusing several AMG cars, they are beautiful and are aging well. My neighbor has newer AMG sport utility and sedan, they just make your head turn. As you said they have presence. Refinement at a very high level. Get the warranty and ride. Thanks for covering these beautiful cars.
Hey my friend thanks again for stopping I def agree these are some beautiful rides for sure. Thanks for the support
Thanks for the video
My 2007 e63 threw a rod at 100k - $14,000 for a used engine. Rotors are $2500 each. Fun car. Loved it. Glad to sell it though too. It’s like a boat that way.
My fav E is the model that I think was discontinued after 2004. I always loved the two-tone seat version. This one isn’t too bad. Glad to hear it’s a decent buy, obviously if you keep up with the maintenance. I still love the roominess of an S class, even though I’d probably rarely take anyone for a ride. Nice to see certain Benzes that have good lifespans, and are not a waste of time after awhile. I know someone with an olderJag coupe that I’m like, why does he bother?
Yea I think I did a vid on a 2001 E55 and a 2010 S63 amg review as well. I too was happy to see how well this Benz aged as well as the chassis it handled really well
Hey, how about taking a look into Infiniti Q70 2016 Sport or its older model M37s 2011 and review it? This car is pretty rare to find these days 🙂
I am a fan of the W211 but I went with the E55 over the E63 since the 5.4L is pretty bulletproof as is the 5 speed transmission. Not to mention the E63 needs head bolts replaced to be trusted for the long haul. The M113k engine in the E55 offers the most in performance upgrades for relatively cheap, bolt-on parts whereas the M156 engine in the E63 is not as receptive to inexpensive power upgrades.
If I was to ever get a old high performance sedan, it would have to be the E39 M5 with that 6spd manual. With proper maintenance, you can get up to 300k. I know because my buddy has one and it is a freaking blast in every way!
Great Review ! I always liked the front end headlight scheme on this particular model. Very reminiscent of the M-B cars of the sixties but with an aerodynamic flare. What was European's asking price on this 13 year old vehicle as you usually clarify that detail in your content ? BTW - Any pertinent ^updates^ on the progress of your Lexus LS exterior project ?!? Keep ^Up^ The Great Pre-Owned Reviews Yo ! ✴ 💯 ✴
I think it was around $17k
For the audio, just use the aux jack in the glove compartment with a good Bluetooth receiver. A cheap one from fiio should do (still overkill quality). You won't get the most out of the sound system without using your own music.
Kevin,
Please review the Lexus GS430 / 460 if you're able to spot one.
06-10 thank you!
I'll try to!
I am caught in between an ‘09 E63 w 67k miles and a similar-mileage E55. I LOVE the low-range torque of the 55, but it seems that the 63 offers the most well-rounded and balanced driving experience. It feels like a true trade off because the transmission and engine are more reliable in the 55, although they are both more sporty/linear in the 63.
Did you ever choose ?
Have an 09 e63 60k miles I love it
Does it have Bluetooth music for your phone? I haven’t been able to find any answer on that bc I’m looking to get one of these
what do you mean electronic brakes? you mean the SBC? last year for SBC was 2006
I miss my 211 07 E550 even though its not as brutal as the E63 it can still get to dangerous speeds pretty quickly. As long as the headbolts we fixed or replaced this car is pretty rock solid prices on these are decently reasonable I think there at lowest pt right now before this car appreciates slowly. The 211 07-09 E550 probably the best 400 HP car you can get for under 10K.
Yea forgot to mention the head bolts but you're right if properly maintained they're not too bad
@@MeynMotorGroup and finding a owner that took care of this car. When I had my 07 550 I was fortunate he did the repairs on the Airmatics and many other things on the car. .
@@iheartgs400I have an E350 amg, I lust after that E550 everyday...
I like it, thanks Kevin.
Thank you my friend!
This is an incredible car!
Agreed!
MB engineers really decided to put a giant clock in the gauge cluster of an amg car .. 😂😂🤦🏿
That threw me off so much 😅😂 I was like what kind of tach is that lol
The only thing I've done is a transmission issue(5k bill) and bent rims (3x) in my time driving an e500 over the course of 20-25k. Really, fun to drive. But I'm a casual driver, I just like a big V8 engine. I always felt confident driving it on bends. It handles well to me.
Dang that’s actually pretty terrible
Feel like trans services are so overlooked people arent aware which leads to transmission issues
All hail algorhythm 🙌🏻 🌝
I would prefer the wagon to the sedan.
Great overview. Interesting car. Anyone looking to buy a vehicle like this needs to budget for a $3000-$8000 extended warranty. Thanks Kevin,
💯% agreed my friend
How much would it cost to get this car? I really love it
pro can I found like this e63 amg in copert
I currently have a w211 E500 sport(2003 60k miles ) and I’m actually looking at a 08 E63, all these issues are common air matic, and wheel bearings
Really helpful video
How much does a Mercedes e63AMG cost.. for Qatar??
Mines have 157k on it
I forgot how much plastic even luxury cars of the time had.
These things can throw rods, have transmission issues, and a ton of other less major (but still relatively expensive) problems. I see it all the time, folks that are attracted to the 500hp and the low price, but don't factor in maintenance. You'll get guys that swear they've spent less than 3 or 4k over 4 or five years of maintenance, which is decent, but then you get soooo many other people that run into camshaft problems or rod issues, and boom, 12-15k repair bill.
To put it bluntly, you'd have to be stupid, young, or have a decent day job to buy a 13-year-old used AMG. Beautiful cars, but there's a reason why you have to be relatively well off to afford one (unless you do your own work, or are very lucky, or both)
P.S., I do like how you mentioned buying a warranty, that's smart for a used AMG. Thanks for the video, I just get frustrated with the other folks with titles like "I spent 25k on maintenance on my used Mercedes over 4 years" or something stupid like that.
Oops! Sorry if I chef off he wrong box. I’m in hospital until tomorrow. All best!
Cheers Kev.
Hi sir hope you've been well and as always thank you for watching
@@MeynMotorGroup TBH I've been very sick for a month with an infection from a cyst, but I'm almost over it now thankfully.
Oh man sorry about that but glad you're recovering. Yea about 2 years ago I went through the same thing fortunately there are medications that help a lot.
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah mate I was on 625mg Antibiotics three times per day but it seems to have beaten it as a matter of fact I took my last pill last night, this is the third time I've gotten it, the first I didn't know what it was and eventually went to hospital cause my heart rate was 220 sitting, they told me once it was figured out if I left it twenty minutes longer before going I wouldn't be here.
Oh jeez I'm so sorry about that 3rd time?! Man I feel for you sir yea I just had it once but I have heard it can come back. Those antibiotics are certainly effective but def want to take them more than you need to. Let's pray this is the last time for you
I had the pleasure and curse of owning a 2005 E55 out of warranty. I miss is everyday, but damn did it have its share of problems.
E55 was a fun car for sure
@@MeynMotorGroup I just wish someone warned me about the airmatic suspension issues.. would have installed a coil over kit right out of the gate and saved myself a lot of hassle.
@@rorythomson3439yea very common for airmatic to fail ,sacrificing a lil comfortability n getting coil-overs definitely will save $ in the future
Yo bro
Nice looking ride, but I'd definitely consider an extended warranty as these can be an endless money pit.
warranty from where?
W211 AMG 100k. Well let’s see have a 2007 e63 So let’s see what I had to do when I bought it Left light went went out 500 for bi hid then upper pan leak 1200. Rubber. Was only 10 dollars. Then lower pan leak. 480 Then both front shocks went bad. 2000 then one rear shock went bad. Replaced both. 1500 Cvc or oil suction in back of engine went out. 220 to fix rear frame broke 11000 to rebuild and wield Car got hit in back bumper from non insurance person 1800. Just for the oem bumper 450 paint and install tcu went out 1500 to replace n install new one Front and rear suspension need to change 3200 parts and labor The two rubber things that are on the shaft had to be replaced. 650. But the smile that it puts on my face when I hear that engine roar. With open cats and no resonator While it’s lowered on star Adjustment With that ceramic coating and. Black with grey interior is priceless. 😊
you could have saved $5000 if you just got coilovers
@@asapmonkey2393 yes that’s true. But I love the push of a button and car raises ⬆️
How slow were you driving that it gave you 19 most I could get was 15 when I drove to Missouri and stayed at 70-80 most of the way there ,that thing loves to chug, any over take of a semi or of anything and your losing a couple mpg immediately 😂
👍👍👍❤️
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yes sir
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝
I don't wanna hate your channel. I just don't understand why you make a video about a E63 but there is nothing about the exhaust sound from outside.
Oh it wasn't as loud as you may think it is not much to record there trust me
@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you for your answer :)
It is just some feedback from me.
I believe you, i just would like to hear it by myself to judge by my own.
More Lexus, more Lexus, more Lexus, more Lexus, more Lexus.
Sorry but a 13 year USED Benz....nah, I am good 🤔
Still better and faster than a bogus honda.
Yes European cars reliability sucks.
The E63 is one hell of a bench mark - nothing American comes even close so don't kid yourself.
If you want the full package of get up and go stopping power, build quality, features, looks - the soundtrack,then look no further. If as you seem to allude to you want to hit the gas and drag the car from 20mph to 60 mph as you demonstrate here, then the E63 will do it too but you are really missing the point.
To compare a decent spec AMG against an American muscle car is like comparing Liverpool AFC against the LA Dodgers or any other American Football Team - No comparison.
bro said the LA Dodges is an american Football team lmao
@@wikzy.7966 Touch of something called, irony.. Dude..
lol same with the maintance, nothing even compares to it ,nobody can touch it 😂
