This 510HP V12 Mercedes-Benz S600 is a Terrific Family Car or Private Jet Substitute *SOLD*

- SOLD Reviewed today is this 2009 Mercedes-Benz S600, a rather incredible sedan with amazing performance figures for today, let alone a decade ago when it was made. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V12 putting out 510HP and over 600 lbs.-ft of torque, this 5000 lbs. car would rocket from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds (faster than a 911S) and do the quarter mile in 12.6 (as fast as a Lamborghini Murcialago of the same year).
But what is the point of this (then) $150K Q-ship? Who would buy this thing, and why? The average S-Class buyer is 61 years old - is he really going to run these speeds on the open road? My friend Robert insists this car was made as a corporate jet replacement in Europe, where it makes more sense to hop in this thing and run 150MPH to the next major city in Germany than it does to go to the trouble of private air travel. I suppose that's a feasible enough explanation.
Full review and test drive by Bill. SOLD
As a husband of 3 kids and a so called wife, this is probably the best car review I have ever seen. Truly a masterpeace. Thank you, i’m happy now
Bill your sarcasm is delivered with a stone-cold dryness that is unsurpassed. Whoever buys this 10 year old, 100k mile V-12 Benz need not worry about upkeep. It's a fine, reliable piece!
What a joke this guy is all the way around - family car WTF - an SUV is a family car that's why they sell so many. This is a time bomb
The cheapest Benz is the most expensive Benz.
No sarcasm, these V12s are really nice engines and are Toyota level of reliable. It's the ABC suspension you should be worried about.
Did he just say "V12 Fuel Efficient " in the same sentence? "Ozzies and Mack 10s" hahaha I love this guy.
Yea when Bill said "It's got that V12 badge to show people that you....want your family to be safe" That's when I knew the bullshit was officially flowing. XD
@@Johnathan_Waters well they are bullet proof strong cars. Great engines as well
jhawki777 these V12 and V8 Mercedes drop yo 9.0L per 100 on the highway. They don’t suck the gas.
jhawki777 *Uzi’s and Mac 10’s. Sorry to be that guy lol
@@dr.lyleevans6915 Yeah, like Aussies aren't known for our guns lol
Easily good for another 100k+ miles if you replace the gearbox oils. This did not need a MB workshop, only the oils need the right specifications. MB says, this is not mandatory, but experience shows it is. There are in reality also no long lasting motor-oils, motor-oil has to be replaced every 15k miles.
Rick2010100 - 15k? I don’t care what anyone’s owners manual says, oil changes every 5k miles, all other fluids at 30-50k miles. I want my cars to last. Especially if I’m driving an S class.
Stop the capp
Great video, love the car inside and out!!! Your side comments about the Saturn and the ladies are definitely my favorite part!!
"Chris Botti" in your CD changer - he's a great jazz trumpet player
In 2016 i sold w221 s 350 with amg pack. color was golden sand it was in Dubai . People from all the middle east called me
When i drove it it gave ride of my life )))))))
“83 -way pwr seats” and “ nice rear storage for your GERMAN 9 mil” ......... classic Bill.
I have got to see that LS430 Lexus sitting there next to the two W140s! Beautiful car!
DIAMLER they aren’t great, I really wanted one but I ended up getting an MDX instead
i had a ls430 with 350k mi it literally wouldnt break. trust me. i tried. its one of the most reliable and indestructible luxury cars u can get and it rides very nicely
the box Yes I own a Lexus LS430 the best made car powerful classy and buttery smooth 😎
THE MERCEDES S CLASS IS THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD
Only when new or cpo with a warranty. Otherwise they are a nightmare.
They are famous for taxis and trucks. They're otherwise just OK. But is it real leather in there, or the usual vinyl? Most buyers don't know what they've overpaid for, sadly.
Bro u a hater anything s class has genuine leather
Happy Holidays Bill ; )
Biggest problem with this cars is the suspension. I had a w220 and w221, both had endless very annoying suspension problems with the airmatic struts....leaks, control valves, level sensors, and compressors going out. Otherwise they were very comfortable daily drivers.
My E55 has 133K miles, and a totally original Airmatic. Works perfect, reasonable to fix if/when it needs repair. You need to find a better Mercedes repair shop.
Just FYI, the W220 was actually smaller in all dimensions than the W140. It was narrower not as tall and not as long it only offered more rear leg room over the w140 because the took up some slight trunk space with the rear seats. The W221 actually went back to the size of the W140 in its dimensions. And the current W223 that was just released is even bigger yet compared to the w221 And the w140. The new one is taller wider and longer and that’s even before you add the extra size from the new Maybach models who’s is EVEN bigger lol.
This is EXCTLY the car I want, same color, same year, same model... I can't find any 2009 model for sell in my country let alone my city...
"for the love of god" 😂😂❤ yo this guy is hilarous and gonna keep watching his vids just for that
You good morning always gets me to like the video ❤️❤️
How much for Buick station wagon in the back ground @ 2:00min please get back to me I’m very interested!
"kids safe" - in a 500hp+ car lol. S class used by Yakuza for many years. I think some use Jags these days.
Hi Bill and merry christmas 🎅🎅 I must say that i love your comments about weapen, kids, drugs,and whimmen😂😂😂
I love your videos and Mercedes cars 😍😍by by from 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍
driving 80 on 35 zone lol
Ask not the cost 😶 ask what it does 🤩
Omg an infant Containment net!! That is brilliant!
I’m here to know if my Canadians will be chipper enough in the back. Thank you🎉
Bill. It’s Xmas eve. Go to the house. The grinch will be coming to see u soon. Go count ur youtube cash.
The 600 NVR came with the Sport package.
This guys review is fantastic
So smooth. Sounds like he could sell fridges for Inuit or umbrellas in Sahara..
I truly believe that this guy was a gansta in his day😄😄
Has too many firearms to hide in a car..
Such a great voice I've ever heard.
Really love your reviews!
"..You keep your kids nice and shaded while global warming continues.."
- proceeds driving the V12 S600
make new video on some W221 please
This dude is actually funny as hell!! Lmao!! Andrew is what you call a bastard..
Unless your a mercedes engineer well off and mortgage free and cash reserved forget it
I totally agree
Merry Christmas Bill
My next car!
This or the same year s550
Ill keep my 99 acura 3.5rl with aftermarket air ride 💁🏻
rivalstorm120 sounds beautiful 😍
This is really an aristocratic car. Super funny video man, my dream car!!!!
My only sadness watching this video was knowing just how firmly your tongue was planted in your cheek! Otherwise I’d be running out to buy one, and even with your brilliant sales pitch, I just don’t think the wife would tolerate a third Benz in the driveway!😂
Mercedes V 12 =N 1 hahaha. Mercedes Benz have beauty full truck. Merry cristmas buon natale from italy
You sold me....!!!
At around 23:15....Omg look at these ladies jogging, that's good for 'em, they could use that, keep it up girls. 🤣😂🤣 Lol Bill is a clown, I always get several good laughs outta his reviews.
I have 220/221/230 600s lol. Why? It’s not easy cars to maintain, but 500/550/63s are easy and chip? No. V12 is 50% better than V8. V8 is 33% better than V6. The answer is that. If you consider V8, V12 is some way to go. The main throwback is you can not go below V12s after felt well maintained M275 motor and ABC system.
totally not true about the steering being the last hydraulic system in 2009 lol
Asian massage function. Haha
This dude's going 80 in a 35?? HAHAHA!
Andrew the bastard 😂
Why did the S class have such deep decline in depreciation throughout the decades? Did the German designers and engineers drinking while putting this car together.
The rich want new cars... I have a smart reliable 2004 350SL with that folding roof cost £4k a shade over $5000....
this is not a car review, it is more like a step by step tutorial on how to make your wife buy it
You mean, step by step tutorial how to convince yourself to buy it, and then trying to sell it to your wife too.
I don't like the color silver
Dude you are hilarious...
Heheheeee
U are lsoding up ghis car with plenty gun man ideas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
u said weird things and played off a fart... im scarred
Review the car not the weather or time of year just do a fucking review
Mercedes-Benz are junk and just follow technology which is plastic and garbage and breaks very quickly on you the repair bills are three times the cost of the vehicle in very quick session. None being as bad as the S-Class these things are known money pits
purchased a 2011 S550 back in may. I really like it. My local service advisor told me the only problem with these vehicles is that you don't know what to buy next lol
+Stay Based the dealerships love these things because they are service nightmares
@@tonywellington7854 not the S Class. S Class are durable
@@tonywellington7854 I own a 2007 S600 and its a fucking tank. Never let me down in 14+ month of ownership apart from coilpacks. Better than my old shitty BMW
I have the E550 an I love it been all over the US! Premium Gas there very good they compete against Honda!
It's basically a rich man's Honda!
My 2010 S550 ruined me for my other car, which was a 2002 BMW 3 series convertible. It was in mint condition. I had that car for 8 years. The lack of power and comfort made me sell it and pick up a 645Ci convertible. It's still not as comfortable than the S550 but the power is up there.
"Reliability... I am sure its just fine" HAHAHAHHA
What until he clocks out from work THEN ask him about reliability of this car😂😂😂
"Space in the trunk for your uzis to keep your family safe" 😂, love this guy, subscribed
Who wants a Bentley when you can pick up a German limousine for 15k
You should drive one, then you wouldn't be quite so certain of yourself.
@@bmpowellicio I have a Bentley,and you are ABSOLUTELY right,He will change his mind,but,of course,not for fifteen grands😁
@@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630 Mercedes is more cutting edge and Bentley has more style its easy xd
@@bmpowellicio there's no way a Bentley feels better than an Sclass
Bill you forgot to mention where I can put my RPGs!!! 🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHAHAAAAA
I have a 07 S600 - hands down best car I’ve ever owned. I have near brand new C63s latest model and I think the S is a much nicer car. Just doesn’t look as cool - but definitely as quick
Asian Massage Function...😆👍😷
How is the car now? Is it reliable? Is it worth owning still?
@@stefke318 100% - still in the garage, I might do an update video soon. In the last 2 years ive literally just done oil changes and i have replaced a heater control valve for like $80. I do though have a minor oil leak, that requires engine out to fix, but its been like that for probably 1.5 years and apart from a small oil patch on the floor has not gotten worse and car drives fine...In saying that i'd love to fix it one day now I have a hoist / workshop. Definitely recommend them IF they've been garaged and well looked after.
"He's what people would call a bastard." Love it!
I love the S class! Merry Christmas!
Prescription meds Bill....stop it.
Saw a cls550 in a car accident, I must say the way the airbags looked around the whole car is truly beautiful, yes the bens was wrecked but the airbags, looks like clouds all around inside.
I've been lucky enough to drive an S600 Maybach from this generation, and it was beautiful! A wee bit slow on take off, but it kept pulling like a freight train! I can only imagine how _spritely_ this S600 is with less weight to cart around.
Talk to Robert Kraft about that Asian massage function.
Wild Asian Orchids...🤣🤣🤣
It's no longer possible to do 150mph in Germany very often. The roads are heavily congested most of the time, primarily with Polish trucks. So there goes your private jet alternative.
Oh such a glorious vehicle! I agree on the W140, there will never be another car made like it. We still keep one and drive it regularly!
This is what I'm looking for to replace my cheap plastic engine BMW falling apart at 60k miles when I bought it brand new. And I love your sidebar comments because thats how I am.
Love my 2008 S550. It's my baby.
You could consider purchasing one for me too
any update on reliability? any major repairs? Also, how's your mpg?
My parents used to be hard core full sized SUV people. After a test drive my dad fell in love with his W221 identical to the black one in your vid, and my mom fell in love with her W211!
Do o e one the w140s that you have
review the yellow SAAB
Man, one thing that I really love about this S600 is that the interior is really quiet inside, you can't hear a thing inside when you're driving the car.
Bill and a w221 S600, Simply perfection:)👌.....
Man this guy is hallrious man 😭🤣🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I had an S550 just like the black one shown in the video (mine was silver/blue) and I absolutely loved it. My favorite car ever, the single most comfortable vehicle I’ve been in.
S600 typical family car ...😂😂😂 and the most fuel efficient engine....6.0 V12...😂😂😂...low running costs...😛🙈...Bill you are so great 😀 👍👍👍😉
It's a nice car but come on it's also a money pit
The ABC system is very expensive and not reliable at all!!
Back when Benz was still a Benz
It’s my bday tomorrow
Happy late birthday bro
Now I want one. Wow. Great car. Great video!
This guy makes me want fly to the USA and buy a car from him
Merry Christmas bill love your work
love all the space for guns,its my daily driver, personal fav
So this guy has a great sense of humor. I’m picking up on most of the sarcasm but I can’t quite tell if he’s being serious about the reliability.
This guy is a mess.
Bill talking about Safety Features for Kids is a HUGE indicator that he had WAY too much of the CORONAVIRIS WHISKEY 😂
Bill we ❤you. Please come to my funeral. My Wife officially planned it for October 17th.
The mercedes pause, Are you sure? this is soooo true all my mercedes have this, and that's exactly how I describe it too
cost of ownership AINT gonna be pleasant on this one
Has there ever been a 7 series that outdid an S class?? Maybe in 1998, 99...maybe.
Hey Bill, looking forward to watch your review of the yellow 9-3 convertible! Merry Christmas
Bill said he's sure if you purchase one the cost of ownership would be affordable 😂
throw a towel over the windshield sensor to show the night assist ops.
Huge! That’s not a car.
That’s the battlecruiser Scharnhorst!
12:45 the wooden trim on the door and dash look horribly misaligned.
Surely you can't be serious! Reliability not an issue for a 10 year old Mercedes 12 cylinder engine? Have you ever owned a benz? A fucking Tune up will set you back $2,500!
