You can't be serious: Ants are insects that defend themselves by biting with jaws and pinchers on their heads or stingers on their bottoms if they feel threatened by humans. Most ants are not a threat to humans. During an ant bite, the ant will grab your skin with its pinchers and release a chemical called formic acid into your skin - GOOGLE
Most do absolutely bite. I'm not going to list them since that list will well exceed any text limit TH-cam might have. So please, do look up biting ants.
Well I beg to differ I was stung by a bullet ant while visiting Nicaragua doing missionary work. There's a reason they call them bullet ants. It felt like I was shot by a gun. I was writhing in pain for almost 20 hours straight I wanted to die. Some local villagers brought me some concoction they made with plants local to the area. Which helped quite a bit but I still will never forget the pain from the sting of a bullet ant as long as I live I've had toothaches broken bones concussions kidney stones And all that s*** was child's Play compared to that bullet ant sting. You must be a liberal because you're definitely living in an alternate reality than the rest of us. Although that reality must be pretty fun it's full of unicorns and rainbows and ants that don't bite or sting😮
I've had my 07 S550 for almost 2 years. Best daily driver I ever had. It's been great and like this one it is on the plain, base 18s. But they ride the best and don't destroy the wheels. And tires are cheaper. Currently I'm salivating for an S560....
these W222s are my favorite S classes by far. The interior is a perfect mix of being technologically advanced while not being overrun by screens. Interior is absolutely beautiful. The new gen is also great but it feels looks a lot more screen reliant
I've been a subscriber and watching all the way back to the Uberman days. I've seen and heard so much great content on here, but by far the coolest thing is hearing about and imagining young zayne doing walk arounds before school in a parking lot. Keep up the great work Randy and being a good role model. TH-cam needs more like you and MWM.
Do not get rid of that car!! Drive it every once in awhile. Think of it as your Sunday go to meeting clothes. You don't want to wear it every day but when you do you feel special! Great find! You won't be able to replace it unless you are spending a boat load of cash.Even than it would be at best the same.
Good job today!! But since your talking about shop tools. Tell us about the lift.....I'm looking for something like that....do you have it drilled into the concrete? Does it move....have you had problems? Looking to store a car above and under
You are doing right by selling her.. at 180,000 miles.... Shes ready to start popping problems.. Transmission, and all sorts of little things that arent cheap.
I had a Mercedes 20 years ago and the gear shift was $800. I can't imagine what it goes for today. I know my oil changes on my BMW were over $100. That is the only thing that makes me hesitant to buy one now.
Loved your video. The S-Class is a beautiful car, that you have. I wanted to say, your whole change of the way you did content-I love it!! If you think your ants are bad, you should see what an Australian Bull Ant or Green tree ant, both very painful. Keep up your great content mate, am loving it!!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I know but what’s all that all over the underside of the car I’ve never seen that before unless it was fluid film but then that’s a dark color. Im just concerned on what happen. Oh well at least you don’t have deal with it
@@Msardinas86 he mentioned that the water pump was new. Pointed to it. Water pumps when they start to go they leak. New pump now. No biggie. Rest your mind.
My 2015 W222 the worst Mercedes ever . Adaptive headlight quit working first one then the other there is a bulletin out from Mercedes with the advise for the dealer replacing headlights ,they are $ 4000 a piece and have to be married to the car .I replaced the the ballast from china it worked. The a permanent misfiring on the 8 cylinder well known by Mercedes ,probably need a new cylinder head .We changed all spark plugs,all injectors for $ 1000 didn't help. The car when you accelerating the car shuffle so till it was almost not driveable anymore Happy that carmax gave me 12K for it I think they didn't find everything what was wrong
entertainment stop command and you use the controller if you want to show different settings that's this though you can scroll through the engines Worcester The where's the climate control there is also heated inventory in the rear seats And some of those things would be with differences stops
I love that S class Randy it's a beautiful car but we all know what happens with those they break and they're lots of money but they are a superior car take care buddy
Yeah I had an ant problem outside the house one year. Simple solution though. Buy a good amount of liquid soap, mix with water, dig a larger hole around the ant hills and other entry ways and go to town with the soapy water followed by boiling water from the kettle. A couple applications and they got decimated.
All cars can break, and all cars can be insanely expensive to fix. I just do all the maintenance they need on time, do regular inspections like the manual says, including oil analysis so no surprises pop up. Cuz I hate pop-ups.
Thanks to MWM and yourself I noticed A LOT of black Mercedes S550s on I-95 last weekend while making two round trips between South Carolina and Virginia. There I was, tooling along at 75mph or better (just trying to not get ran over), and along would come a big black Mercedes just sort of gliding by me without effort. I think Mercedes, for all the over engineering recent year models have in them, and as expensive as they can be to repair/maintain, they may well be last real interstate cruisers since Cadillacs and Lincolns have devolved into little more than glorified, overpriced, Chevy and Ford SUVs. If I needed to do a lot of interstate driving, I would be more than a little interested in a 5 Series Mercedies
Randy make sure those are not carpenter ants, this is swarming season for them, if you think termites eat wood think again, look for saw dust or what looks like sand around the outside and inside of your house, if you have to hit some of the panels outside/inside and see if anything like sand falls out, if it does then you have wood eating insects.
Between 18 and 22 000 $ for an S550, that's crazy cheap. The cheapest W222 we can find in Germany are around 30 000 €, with between 200 000 and 300 000 km and are S350d with not that many options. We still have to wait a few years more so that we can find W222s at around 15 000 €
A beauty! Ever plan on bringing back the "Profit or Loss" videos? I'm REALLY curious what that beautiful white Seville went for that you drove back from Terra Haute
methinks you should sell it off for at least $25,000 as listed on the original owners platform...the car is a BEAST!! and you took an great risk...kudos.
IMO add some chrome wheels & it would be golden🎬✨️ 🚘🔥🔥👍. Don't get me twisted ,the car is beautiful regardless. Nice choice Randy & car looks slick awesome job. Salute 😎
Hey Randy, kudos as always! My number one go to channel! Wow, what a dilemma! Should I stay or should I go? I don’t blame you for wanting to keep it! But it’s in perfect shape now and how long will that last? You should be making more profit I don’t think 18,000 it’s good enough for you there’s gotta be another outlet where you can get closer to retail
Don't really know what you have for new cars and current loans for car payments and so on but possibly keep the Mercedes and sell off or sell back to the dealer one of the cars that you pay monthly on to save some money? If you need to that's all up to you but there's no way I'd let that beauty go lol
It’s very nice of you to let it go to your friend Sam for $18k. I’m sure he’ll return the favor if there’s a car you want that he comes across and wholesale it to you.
It's a great deal if you're a Mercedes-Benz person. You could probably even scrap it and STILL get your money back. But its way too nice to do that to it. Isn't it close to the Maybach? Looks identical! 👍🇺🇸😎
You'd only scrap if it needed repairs that would make it unprofitable. Body panels, wheels, electronics, motor and transmission. Every part of the car has value. But scrapping a car is a last resort.

ants do bite actually...couple of species we have here in Nigeria sting like a scorpion...
I've owned my W222 for 3 years and absolutely LOVE it. Such a reliable chassis for how much technology it offers.

Thanks for the likes y’all 😂
What a beautiful vehicle!! Almost 190k miles and still running strong... The Best or Nothing!!!
Hey, Randy I"ve been following you for years and it gets better and better, love your videos Roger.
She's a beautiful ride Randy. I absolutely love it!!!

I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness.
You are finally begin to realise that some European car brands , like Mercedes, are masterpieces. I have a GLE 500 and its a wonderful beast.
Which model Otofix scanner is Randy using? I need a new one but the price didn’t match the one he linked. The Evoscan Ultra seems to be around $2800.
This is the most I have ever seen him work 😅😂😅😂😅😂
You haven't watched him very long
@gordonil30117 been their done that since way back from carnage videos
If you can afford to not sell the S550, do not sell it. You deserve to have a very nice vehicle.
OH MY GOD, RANDY!!!! THAT'S CLEAN!!!! You can do my black Impala. I wish you would keep this beauty. Wow.
Keep it up Randy! Been loving the great content man
Nice Mercedes. 18k is a good deal.
Randy you should keep the S550 for what you got it for Its a great car to drive

@@timeforchange3786 Yep, got to run full synthetic 5-40. Close to 8 quarts on most . Then the canister filter upcharge on them. 100 is cheap now days.
i would like to see more videos with it like povs and drives of it
hi Randy,
i watch all your videos all are good but this was really good,nice job on the benz looking good
Loved your video.

Randy caught me off gaurd with the wet feet intro 😅
Samcrac this got your name all over it.
He’s too cheap to pay $18k for it. 😂 🐓
It looks like it had a cooling problem a long time a go because when you had shined the light you can see a hint of green
Coolant isn't green on Mercedes. No cooling issues.

Maybe some testosterone booster for you?
Where rons house at I loved those videos of u fixing that place up

Bye bye Mercedes S550! Sweet ride for sure.

That factory tint is so cool
that usb "printer" end is refered to us usb -b. so that was be a usb-a to usb-b cable there.
No leaks, no rust! A win! 😊✌
All cars can break, and all cars can be insanely expensive to fix. I just do all the maintenance they need on time, do regular inspections like the manual says, including oil analysis so no surprises pop up. Cuz I hate pop-ups.
Hi randy how are you. ...for s500 driv and salet is good for you ...back to golden car bater. ..good luck bro
Yup, the wheels are just not as Grand/Shnazy as the car. A bit of a bummer, but nice new tires.
The new scan tool also does live data?
S550 looks great. Thats a road trip machine right there.
Nice MB Randy! Thx for the review of the scanner!
What a beautiful car!!! Now that’s class!!!
Randy that car looks so good
This puts a good name to the channel ❤
Very impressive mileage. Might be a MB fan now.
Hello Randy. The 2014 S550 W22 is a great looking car. Are you going to give us a ride along .
Man’s talk game is amazing 😂 when it’s on the lift
Thanks for the video, Randy.
Mercedes looks great. Black is awesome when it's clean, but tough to keep clean! I think the ants might have a date with some gas...
Thanks to MWM and yourself I noticed A LOT of black Mercedes S550s on I-95 last weekend while making two round trips between South Carolina and Virginia.

The W222 is my favorite luxury car, and this example for the price is an amazing bang for the bucks.
Thats the Mercedes effect
Exactly my thoughts when we bought a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-350 that turned out to need a whole new engine.
I always enjoy watching your videos
Randy I'm waiting for more videos with that amazing V12 Mercedes.
Keep up the great. I hope you can get rid of those ants soon. Doing a awesome job indeed.
What is meant when he said a " timing job" was done on this car. Does that mean the timing chain was replaced?
Where did you purchase the OTOFIX EvoSCAN Ultra for $500?
tip to reduce water spots first try cooling down the paint by soakingthe car 2 to 3 times water actually cant dry too quick when paint is cool
Between 18 and 22 000 $ for an S550, that's crazy cheap.
The cheapest W222 we can find in Germany are around 30 000 €, with between 200 000 and 300 000 km and are S350d with not that many options.
We still have to wait a few years more so that we can find W222s at around 15 000 €
What are the risks of buying this vehicle used? Theres 2009 S class for $9k but i dont know if its a good buy
The Champ is here
A beauty! Ever plan on bringing back the "Profit or Loss" videos? I'm REALLY curious what that beautiful white Seville went for that you drove back from Terra Haute
Keep it Randy keep it Randy keep it Randy I love that car making your daily driver❤❤❤
Thankyou Thankyou so much for shoutout he is so so so happy listening his name he can’t stop smiling thankyou very much
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Hello Randy you did a wonderful job on the car you look good in it if it make you happy i say keep it and let the other cars go .
It looked very clean
The printer end on the USB cable is USB-B
methinks you should sell it off for at least $25,000 as listed on the original owners platform...the car is a BEAST!! and you took an great risk...kudos.
link for the scan tool on amazon cant find I really want one for that price thanks in advance
that is a great car Randy, pure Luxury 💯
Does it have the fragrance thing In The glovebox?
it sure does ,
Gorgeous car 🖤
IMO add some chrome wheels & it would be golden🎬✨️ 🚘🔥🔥👍. Don't get me twisted ,the car is beautiful regardless. Nice choice Randy & car looks slick awesome job. Salute 😎
Beautiful car Randy! Wish I had $18 for it!! Damn good price!
I would have sprayed some Iron-X to decontaminate the paint.
Awesome show Thanks.
I only see the scanner listed for $3000. Which one is $549. Is the link wrong?
I do miss the old school car cleaning like you used to do
My favorite car in the whole world.
Good job Randy 😎😎👍👍car looks nice
This car is beautiful.
Always looking forward to watching your channel Randy from @Auto Auction Rebuild 🙏😇
Oklahoma got no ants like the fire ants in FL? I gave up trying to kill ants, they are almost impossible to irradicate?
Actually we do - I've had fire ants when I lived in NC, and I have fire ants in OK.

Does everything you own have to be for TH-cam? Keep it and enjoy it. When it takes a crap, give it to Mike! You can't take your money with you!
Yes - it's ALL for TH-cam.
If that car ends up stolen you can bet it'll be in the back of monkey wrench Mike's yard lol😂
It’s very nice of you to let it go to your friend Sam for $18k. I’m sure he’ll return the favor if there’s a car you want that he comes across and wholesale it to you.
Enjoy the videos every time!!! 👌🏼 love from the netherlands 🔥🔥🔥
Nice video Randy. Time to sell the 550. It looks great.
It’s a beautiful car Mercedes thatthat you bought Randyvi. I enjoy watching your content Randy. Just to make you day👍
Such a good limousine
if you are changing the wheels in future dont put low profile tyres, let it with bigger profile like 50-55 so it can ride like an S class.
It's a great deal if you're a Mercedes-Benz person. You could probably even scrap it and STILL get your money back. But its way too nice to do that to it.
Isn't it close to the Maybach? Looks identical! 👍🇺🇸😎
why would anyone scrap such a nice car
You'd only scrap if it needed repairs that would make it unprofitable. Body panels, wheels, electronics, motor and transmission. Every part of the car has value. But scrapping a car is a last resort.
by the way that otofix Evoscan Ultra is $1759. not 500 or so
Your 40 chevy has a Ford 9 inch. 3.73 gears
It does have a 9" but how do you know? :)
