Hello! I built your car 12 years ago! Incredible to see it in TH-cam haha l was an apprentice back then, now working in the S Klasse assembly line. Greetings from Germany
here in Turkey all german cars (bmw, mercedes, wv and opel (who are made in russelheim so i count them as german)) are made in germany and i rarely hear people having problem with their cars. maybe except audi's who seem to have lots of mechanical problems compared to the others.
Actually yes. For years, I dreamed of owning a BMW after a co-worker gave me a ride in his 3-series. Then I found Hoovie's channel. It shattered my dreams. I learned that owning a BMW out of warranty is a bad idea. And since I buy new and keep a car forever, that would be a problem for me. No matter how much fun a car is, I do not want to spend big bucks at a mechanic. I'm just going to stick with Toyota.
@@M3rVsT4H I realize it's part of the schtick.....but yeah some of the cars he gets has made me change my mind about that vehicle! NOPE!! NOT GONNA DO IT!! I always thought those amg wagons were boss....NOPE!! money pits man!! MONNEEYPIIIITTTS!!!! haha that car is like boat ownership!! I'll just chill in the passenger seat not the drivers seat!!!
Hahaha you people clearly never have been even near to a Maserati, especially the Quattroporte. Otherwise, you wouldn't write such absolute nonsense. Not saying the Wagon is great, but one thing is crystal clear: You NEVER EVER should buy a used Maserati, let alone an old one like Hoovies. Those cars contain tons of fx. Magneti Marelli parts, which are bound to die and for which there is no replacement. Watch the Wheeler Dealers UK Episode, in which Edd China restores a 3200 GT. That was in 2014 and he already struggled hard to find parts. Overengineered with no logic.
Pax.Ultimas Mercedes is trash? This thing has 204.000 miles on it and was probably abused and driven by people who didn‘t bother servicing it properly and it ended in this guy‘s hands for a very cheap price, what the hell were you expecting? I‘m pretty sure a Camry constantly driven at 4 - 5k RPM would have broken down even before 200.000 miles.
@@EpsilonBiatch No, its just a used Mercedes. Cars that are designed to kinda last about 5 years and then the repairs are more expensive than the monthly payments to buy or lease a new one. That's no fluke either, its their business model. Same with BMW and Audi. I am wondering how they'll engineer their electric cars to fall apart after a few years too because we all know that's going to happen.
when I watched your first videos, about 3 years ago, I just thought you were trying to be another dough de muro, but since then you have found your own niche and this channel has evolved beatutifully! keep on the good work! :-)
I have lived in Germany for years, and trust me, I've seen wagons with more miles than yours and people get on the autobahn like nothing. Those engines are sturdy and powerful.
I have a Honda with an additional 110,000 miles. It vtecs and hits it’s 7700 rpm red line, weekly. Just basic maintenance on wear and tear items. This is why Euro cars are inferior. They no longer understand reliability.
Antonio Akiki Honda makes high performance cars and motorcycles. Honda also makes midline cars and lawnmowers. Honda is back to winning in F1 racing as well.
From 1976 to 1992 I sold Mercedes Benz and enjoy your insights immensely. The W123 and W126 were distinctive, solid and wonderfully reliable ...nothing compared. I love the looks of the green wagon but Lord what a money pit/hangar queen . Today I don’t look twice at any new Benz.
Turd Ferguson depends Mr. Turd. Often times people who own their own business and the building it is in will have a separate business for the building and write lease checks to that business. That is essentially writing checks to yourself, but you are using two different businesses that you own. It can save you money
HOOVIE LOVES bathing in the warm glow of the CHECK ENGINE light. This is the ideal car for this. Well done crazy man. The old saying goes if you cannot afford a new luxury Mercedes, you most certainty cannot afford a Used One!!!!
So....internet is now able to connect the builder of Mercedes engine with the current owner just by youtube comment section alone in a matter of hours...and those guys still can't find the author(s) of "the most mysterious song on internet". Hmmm....
When the check engine light is on in any car, the engine goes into a “safe mode” that limits power so the engine has less of a chance of hurting itself.
It’s a shame that Mercedes was the most reliable luxury brand up until the 90s and now this. I remember reading an article around 2008 about a study comparing how many faults in a Mercedes compared with Lexus. A one year old Mercedes ML usually has more issues than a 9 years old Lexus LS
@@punnequraq Yup, German cars are built at lower quality for the US market. Everytime I searched the used car market in Europe I've found cars from this gen with high mileage sold with warranty (it's mandatory for a dealership to give you one year of warranty for a car).
I think every time a car is "fully" repaired he should make a video like this to test it! Makes for an interesting end cap to the story of the vehicle.
Re: the transmission leak in your Imperial. There is an anti-drainback valve in the Torqueflite that keeps fluid in the torque converter. With age, use and mileage, this valve becomes weak. When it gets weak, usually after sitting a day or two, you'll see the Crimson Scourge of ATF all over your garage floor. What happens is the valve lets go, fluid leaks out of the torque converter back into the pan - overfilling it. All this excess fluid either spills out one of the vents, or, more commonly - out the dipstick tube area. The best solution is to either rebuild the tranny or put a big pan under the car and top it up every drive.
@@bravo11x Nope, I surpassed the warranty 80k miles ago, 180,000 on the Odometer of my Cadenza, never used the warranty.....Just basic maintenance. I will say the transmission has been a little finicky lately but that's my fault, I drive this thing likes it's a racecar Everytime I drive.
Alex from LegitStreetCars put our 400k mile 2003 E55 AMG on the dyno right before we bought it and it lost less than 30hp over 400k miles! When it comes to these older Mercedes, you have to be a true enthusiasts to put up with the repairs.
10:31 This is honestly why I like older cars. Alluded to more at 11:02, a big problem I see with modern cars is that they have too much to go wrong. Sure, an older car is going to have a lot of broken stuff because it's old that a new car won't, but once a newer car becomes old you'll have all of the same mechanical issues but then a bunch of computer issues on top. I drive a silver first gen CR-V (Very much like the one Hoovie passes at 5:02) and while people keep saying I should get a new car, I honestly have no intentions to. I'm happy with the relative reliability and the ease of working on my old car. And even that has a computer completely in control of the engine and transmission.
I don't like the gizmos either. Skip the airbags, skip the computers, skip the nonsense. Just make reliable, lightweight and more inexpensive cars. AC and power steering/brakes I guess is all I need.
As a previous owner to a C36 AMG I cant agree more Hoove. I think 97 w202 is one of the best cars ever made. It would see redline daily and when I sold it @294k miles. Ran like a top.
Im not a german car sort of guy, but i do love a good station wagon and it makes me happy Hoovie has one. Though if he ever buys a 1st or 2nd gen taurus wagon i want too buy it from him.
I have the same M113 engine in my naturally aspirated W220 S Class. 273,000 miles and very reliable and plenty powerful. Not a fan of the M156 “63” engines compared to the older “55”. (As far as reliability goes)
In ~2007 there was a new standard for automotive electronic components for vibration/stress resistance (AEC Q100-200) that stops modules from failing early like that. Before then many manufacturers (Mitsubishi) just poured glue over everything to keep it from shaking.
Of all the Hoovie videos I'v watched, this one I turned down the volume as I expected a con rod to come belting out the side. Glad it survived the Dyno.
We had a Citroen Xantia that we bought new. In about 200k miles we owned it, the check engine light never came up and we had no problem other than changing capsules for its air suspension system. Of course, right before selling it, we had to change the steering wheel pump (it became a little bit stiff during winters, when cold). Here is an AMG with the same mileage and tons of problems! It's funny no one buys French cars!
My Mercedes Benz sales consultant told me (in a British accent) " the 2022 S-Class models with the Designo Package will be equipped with a dimmable check engine light "
@@Oockeshoekwhy don't you 'splain it to us? I'll grant that most Toyotas aren't pushing 400 whp but most of the things that have gone wrong have nothing to do with that.
@@Hans_Moleman925 I would argue that his 94 Celica is also a money pit, since Toyota offers no dealer parts for something like that. If it fails you are on your own.
Tyler you are so critical about that check engine light.. my CLS55 throughs that light every now and then and its because of the exhaust sensor and it goes away in a day or two not really a big deal .. I’ve been driving it this way for the last two years honestly..
Thank you for the inspiration I got into making some basic daily vlogs about my Jeep. I’m trying to keep it consistent with the uploads but its such a struggle but I love doing it.
Top Gear bought a Toyota Hi-Lux and promptly drowned it, and put it on top a tower block before it got blown to bits. It still worked. Hoovie could be the first person to buy one that didn't.
I dynoed a 25 year old Nissan 4 cyl with original factory internals. It was upgraded with a bigger turbo, and e85 tune with support mods. It made 456 rwhp, or almost 3 times it’s stock output.
I visited a company that wanted a controller for rolling roads to be designed. I had a good look at what they had, figured what electronic solution they'd need (all standard control system engineering) and gave them a rough idea of what that would cost. Never heard from them again.

Oh so the German's have trouble with MB too? Here in the USA we thought MB sent us the bad cars.
Mercedes’ reliability has decreased since the w124 in die mid 90s, so sad. I am working for MB and the quality isn’t nice through all models..

Here in the U.K. Lotus stands for Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious. Nice to know AMG has a German equivalent. 😀
Instead of calling it a check engine light you should call it a content light. Whenever it comes on you get new content lol.

Tyler, you know the end of this journey will take you where you started from- the W123.
This car is what Scotty would call a *MONEY PIT* !
Shakalkg Scotty’s such an angry little man lol!
@@Oockeshoekwhy don't you 'splain it to us? I'll grant that most Toyotas aren't pushing 400 whp but most of the things that have gone wrong have nothing to do with that.
@@CarswithNash he's seen every bs thing car manufactures pull
Everything except for a 1994 Celica is a money pit, according to Scotty.
@@Hans_Moleman925 I would argue that his 94 Celica is also a money pit, since Toyota offers no dealer parts for something like that. If it fails you are on your own.
Tyler you are so critical about that check engine light.. my CLS55 throughs that light every now and then and its because of the exhaust sensor and it goes away in a day or two not really a big deal .. I’ve been driving it this way for the last two years honestly..
Thank you for the inspiration I got into making some basic daily vlogs about my Jeep. I’m trying to keep it consistent with the uploads but its such a struggle but I love doing it.

When my Check engine light comes on I check around to see where Hoovie is :)
This car is a masterpiece, just beautiful, however this front grill is kinda weird..
The reason for that big flat area right on the nose is so the radar guided cruise control can work properly...
Intellectual Wino I thought it was for aero
Top Gear bought a Toyota Hi-Lux and promptly drowned it, and put it on top a tower block before it got blown to bits. It still worked. Hoovie could be the first person to buy one that didn't.
I'm a used car buyer and I appreciate the extreme long term reliability/durability reports I get from Hoovie.
I Ctrl+F'd "limiter" so i could upvote everyone who pointed out... the speed limiter. One click of the shifter away from 7000+ rpm.
Swap the fixed Porsche motor into it and then re ls swap your Porsche and then blow them both up and trade them both for a Pontiac Aztec.
And drive over drug dealers with the Aztec.
Hoovie PLEASE get rid of those yellow head lamps. They're naaasty
Yes, and they scream "I've been driven by a moron". Just like the debadged front end.
I love that I get to live through you and not spend any money on stupid purchases
OG subscriber here been with Tyler since before his silver play button 🤜🤛
Stupid question, did you do you tune up? Plugs, wires, fuel filter, maybe coils?? Just saying.
Im pretty sure the Wizard already went through basic stuff like that already, he already looked at the car, just saying
Your face was like, "Please Don't Break, Please Don't Break...."
Should get an E55 AMG wagon instead, maybe one with only 100,000 miles...
AMGmeister this is not how it works on this channel
Or how about getting a quality car not a Mercedes junk?
@@ShitboxXx360 yeah a Lady with lots of horsepower ah wait there is none.. High power engine+high milage=nightmare on any brand
@@koirasdilluminatioy3835 Yeah, the videos wouldn't be as entertaining I guess.
Exactly
Some people could break a hammer dropping it on a carpet. Hoovie is one of them.
I adore green cars, so rare and I love them!!! Specially metallic green!
A fool and his money are soon parted......
Some fools can earn more money than they can part with
The more his car breaks down the more content he has.
And content = money.
The vicious cycle...
He might come out better if the Merecedes were parted... out.
*hoovies car breaks down*
Tavarish: *Heavy Breathing*
Hey for your next car i have a suggestion
How about a *W12 VW Phaeton?* I think its the cheapest W12 on the second hand market
PugLordTR yes this needs to happen
Excellent job sir! Didn't break it! Keep that beautiful piece of German engineering alive.
8:20 Hoovie's face wincing with constipation as it nears maximum RPM: priceless. 😳
Looks and suonds like Millenium Falcon after Kessel run😂😂
Dont do dyno with old cars.its like making and old guy run and he gets a cardiac arrest.
The E63 isn't that old.
@@AE86ofMtAkina 12 years old is ancient for this generation of mercedes
I dynoed a 25 year old Nissan 4 cyl with original factory internals. It was upgraded with a bigger turbo, and e85 tune with support mods. It made 456 rwhp, or almost 3 times it’s stock output.
Juan C Yeah but that’s a quality Car unlike the Mercedes.

What was the obd code? Did I miss that reveal?
I visited a company that wanted a controller for rolling roads to be designed. I had a good look at what they had, figured what electronic solution they'd need (all standard control system engineering) and gave them a rough idea of what that would cost. Never heard from them again.
"Subscribe otherwise I will come to you in the night and turn your check engine light on." 😁 That is a nightmare!
