If this was Ed Bolian, it would’ve went like “I offered $5K, he wanted $20K and we met smack dab in the middle at $6.2K” 😂😂
I mean at this point he has to do the thing, everyone expects him to do the thing and he kinda has to oblige us
Naw Ed would have gotten it for $5k 😂
Ed is a shrewd negotiator...
@@joeblack007 Indeed! I was thinking the very same.
Nah Ed would of got it for -$10k (car trek joke)
Dude is a great storyteller! In college (1983) I had $2K to buy a car, I came across a 64 1/2 Mustang, guy was asking $3500. I offered $1750. Guy immediately answers "$1850". Done! I drove that car for 16 years
You know how much that car would be worth in mint condition today?
gotta love it when an owner doesn't care enough about a car to take proper care of it then all of a sudden values it when someone else wants it
There's a point in "all of a sudden values it when someone else wants it" where it literally pays should You happen to be the only one actually wanting it - even more so with a dealership still having a bill open they remind the owner recurrently of ..... I got 50.000 € boats for the money they needed to pay the recent (plus reminders) and the upcoming due Marina bill from the heirs more than once.
it may not be that simple of a story, there is a 1991 Toyota Celica 4x4 turbo JDM spec original WRC platform but in meh paint and finish in Berlin right now being driven rarely by an Italian girl who won't sell it and can't really. That's my car, or it's 'ours' on unspecified terms. She drives it every so often to keep it running OK but atm there are no plans for it on short term other than to keep it running. Eventually I want to restore it gently, but it has some weird 'issues' which is why it just sits. It has a strange rim size that tyres aren't really made for, and a bolt pattern and wheel spec that can't be just bought, without either having custom machining done or a bunch of iffy spacers. Wheels is the only real way but custom made and it costs a lot to do on a car that is never used. So it's in limbo atm. There are some other issues that require more custom crap to fix, the wipers for one - as dumb as it sounds.
The last line of “the best I can do is $6,200” absolutely killed me.
I know that feeling of excitement well! Great find.
Hi ed 👋
Boy that's true.
Elon musk and tesla is awful
Doug demuro is awful because he doesn't care what we think he is very successful and he doesn't even have an editor he doesn't even have cameraman
Doug doesn't do any giveaways
"I'm poor but I really want your car" love it 😄 hahaha
That was some shrewd negotiating
that was some. I literally dont have any more money than this level negotiating. Im 23 i know all about it
being broke AND the only bidder, is a surprisingly powerful negotiating position.
@coffee meh, not everyone drinks bro
@coffee sounds like you’re the alcoholic buddy 👍
Got a feeling there is a part 2 to this? I mean, after the deal is done is where all the "fun" really begins. Right Ed?
Yep. Lots of pics of one that looks great, so clearly it got fixed. Interested in the "how it got there" story.
... And then I spent $30k sorting it out."
@@BlueTrane2028 Agreed, kind of left on the edge of my seat here...
Right, that was what I was expecting
Hopefully it has been put in his garage on a strict service schedule. And driven periodically.
Even seeing a normal 560 sec is rare, a AMG version is the dream
He really has a way with words that convey exactly what he means. Good storyteller!
few more plots, few more details, matching photos and Ed could retire ( if he didnt yet )
Not really. He doesn't know the meaning of "unique" or "different" and struggles to complete sentences.
I love this guy! He knows his shit about Benz' , talked to him about my C38. Glad he is on here
You didn't find it, you stole it!!!
$6200! 😳
You absolute legend!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well legend? I think 6200 is not a fair offer though. Legends do a fair offer.
@@DiscoforU ok mister legend
Blakley was great. Need a part 2 on the restoration.
Mad. How the dealer mechanics were not onto it is nuts.
This guy is great. Get him for more stories please!
I never knew SEC widebodies existed and now I’m lusting after it.
I’ve been watching the SEC cars and would love to have one. A little too expensive for me now.
But I did buy a (C140) 98 CL600 and drove it home to Tennessee from California last week. I told my wife it was an unicorn, black on black with the V12, she said I was a unicorn. I’m going to polish it up and sell it in a few months. That V12 is impressive and smooth.
Vinwiki rarely disappoints me, another great storyteller, and a sick ass car!
I had a 1982 pre-merger Euro spec AMG (75k miles) I sold it cheap just 5k few years ago. That same year I spent more than 5k repair and maintenance on that car! Old man like me gave away cars as we are tired and sick of it. It's a toy we gave it away cheap cheap cheap!
I drive Subaru’s, but I absolutely love watching and hearing these stories about these sort of finds.
Perfect timing I just found my original SEC (Not an AMG and certainly not a wide body) that I am working on buying back. Will post on Vin Wiki soon. Great video
Im in awe, What I wouldn't give for this find...
Well, that’s a potentially heartwarming story…hopefully we can get at least one or two updates regarding the condition of such a badass classic Merc. Cheers to you on finding your dream vehicle; good luck turning it into the monster it was intended to be!
beautiful machine! and when you're a gear head, even a car thats been beat up a little, it can be fixed. just look at tavarish. insane cars, wild condition, but he bangs it out with jared, and they end up with fantastic cars to play with at fractions of the original prices. same goes for chris at b is for build. get someone elses wreck and bang out a car
The biggest markets for AMG's of that era? Saudi Arabia, Emirates, California...and of course, the cocaine-soaked shores of Florida. Imagine if you beat the bushes in Southern Florida you can find some of these in or near the mangrove swamps.
Love the smell of a good car story in the morning! Love the channel!!
Beautiful car and a great story. Thanks so much for sharing. Also, I love the MB Market, I visit every day.
I was hoping this came from Japan, considering most pre merger AMGs are there and for a long time they could've been had for 25k for low ends to 60k for the nicest ones
Great find love these kind of stories
We need part 2 ! I know that there's more to this story !
My uncle had a s600 like these ones all I can say is that these cars are timeless and unbreakable ! Whenever he started the car it sounded like it was bears roaring in the neighborhood ! Love this car so much !
We definitely need a part 2 to this story. What happened with the car? Did it have the 6.0? I would love the hear that story.
This guy is a pretty good storyteller - not quite Ed Bolian level - but damn good 👍
what? This guy has zero inflection in his voice and the story, there wasn't any.
@@ek.74.914 lmao what are you talking about, all this talk of negotiating the price and the seller throws him a bone for 7k. “best i can do is 6200 bucks” that was funny bro
@@Cynsham dude was monotone and boring and the story was 10x longer than necessary for the small amount of actual interesting story there.
@@ek.74.914 is on point on this one, but I'ma give the guest the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the editing. I felt like i was listening to my wife tell a story with no closure.
I've loved these cars ever since I saw a 1985 500SEL AMG W126 in all gold as a kid. The car still sits there to this day and I covet it.
And I've got some pictures of that car to remind me!
Lack of capital is a very powerful negotiating tool. A very well bought AMG, Blakley. I hope you come back and show us this great car when it's restored to it's former glory.
Love the story! Those Becker head units are pricey though 😂
Man you stole that wide body. What a nice ride.
I don't know how many widebody SEC's had the same pin stripe treatment, and the rear fenders curving inward again (unlike some of the other widebody coupes), but a L.A. area acquaintance bought an identical SEC in the bay area, did a little bit of work on it, and sold it again. I happened to be there when the car was parked in Henrik's driveway, behind his Phoenix SEC widebody project. Congrats
HEY ED!
Bam Margara's Purple Gallardo has been popping up for sale in the past 2 weeks. I feel like this would be a great car for Vinwiki. Its referred to as the worst Gallardo in the states!!
They seem to want anywhere between 50-65k, Im sure you'll take it home for half that!
I live in Roanoke, VA also and I'm always looking for a gem sitting out on "death row" at dealerships. I have an idea on where there one was found and I hate that I missed it!!! Congrats on the find!
that was almost Ed Bolian level deal, well done
This car needs the Petrolicious treatment!
Episode 3 of Car Trek 5 will release today at noon Eastern on Tavarish's channel.
Heck yea!!!
DUDE that made me jump out of my seat! Epic score, would love to see the car too.
This car definitely needs its own Doug Demuro review. "This!...is a Mercedes AMG wide body SCC and today....
Real car guys love selling special cars to good homes even taking a loss ..
That is some shrewd negotiation right there
What a great story! Would love to hear what has happened since.
Now I finally know why there is some classic AMG parking on the street of Roanoke. I was shocked when I saw these car cause I never thought I can see those in such a small city when I was a student of Virginia Tech. Anyway, great story, I wish I was still in VT so I can visit this guy in person someday
Wow now that’s a shrewd negotiator 👌🏻 Thanks for another interesting and entertaining story
You made off like a bandit, awesome score young fella, there was a similar car getting around Sydney Australia for a few years, black on black widebody AMG, number plate, DVADER, love to know what happened to it, Rj in Oz
A friend of mine has a 6 liter DOHC one in Australia. His is white though. He actually took out the 6.0 and put it on a stand. Replaced it with a standard motor. The 6.0 DOHC cars make a Countach seem cheap to maintain and Prius level reliable.
Nice! These cars are so awesome. I hope to have a wide body one, one day. But for now I’m ok with my 560sec and my 1999 c43 lol
Lucky dude! The Merc of my dreams! Stunning!
From 20 to 6.2?! Ed, start taking lessons from this guy! 😅
This is like Pawn shop level negotiation offer.
The Car is for sale for 20 k .
- best i do is 6300 $
Okay done..
I am from europe and when I was in school at the 90s, this was the previous model S class shape, and the hit was W140, the previous gen was also such a bomb! These cars in good spec and condition are stunning indeed, the coupe is even cooler! "Eurospecs are cooler", I never liked the US bumpers, or headlights on the old Benzes:)
There's one of these running around Queens NYC looking very rough,daily driver type deal. Only ever saw it once.
I want you to know you bought yourself. What hell of a car? I've had Mercedes all my life but I had a 6 leader wide body SEC. Then I bought an 87. They are absolutely incredible you never have motor problems. You never have tranny problems. They're the most reliable car ever and the car you bought is probably the best they ever made. Where in good health?
One of my dream AMGs!! Incredible story bro
lol "given my current position"
I know what it’s like to negotiate over time over an old German car. Good work!
6200 plus 200 to get it back from the dealership. but how much did he spend to fully restore it? Great story but these need more to them.
he took notes on Ed's negotiating skills!
Pay that forward man! congratulations!
It's incredible how this video has only 338k views.
I seen one of these on Craigslist about a year or two ago for around $5k. I thought it looked sweet but didn't know the value in them.
My favorite vin wiki stories
I love these Benzes I just never bothered to try to find one. Good deal and good find.
The W126 SEC is a quintessential classic and my absolute favorite Benz of all time .
The 560sec was always one of the cars I would've loved to have bought when they were cheap. :/
80s AMGs are some of the most evil cars ever created
I have two 560SEC I have a European bumper kit with genuine AMG front and rear valances and side skirts. I believe they are for a widebody SEC
Are you interested in selling the kit?
Awesome story-telling ability....I would rate 2nd behind Ed B. But....WHAT HAPPENED NEXT !!? Is it restored now ?? Excited !
I wanna hear what it took to get it looking fresh again!
Met right smack in the middle at $6,200!!! Take notes Ed! This guy is the king of shrewd negotiations!
I have a very similar story about my 1 of 788 Supercharged Jaguar XJ.
After watching this video, I went looking online and couldnt find a single one for sale in europe....nor the US (checked autotrader)....WHAT A DEAL!!!! So few were made....
I've seen this guy at my local bank... remember seeing a Brabus g-wagon in the parking lot, had to be his haha. Good storyteller.
Oh, I remember how it always worked out great in the past, when one larger bank acquired a smaller one.
Where in VA? Hoping I get to see it in person
I’m sorry to hear you live in Roanoke 😂 man I hate that place
Seen this blue Benz on road house movie been trying get my hands one ever since
The best storytime ever.
I didn't even know who I was expecting to tell this story... Then I saw Blakley and then it all makes sense to me..
What a machine! What a deal! You are the man.
As a kid I remembered one of these in Camden NJ on my school route. My mom told me it belonged to a Philadelphia Eagle Player. (It was red)
Sometimes you just got to chance your arm what's the worse that can happen be told no. beautiful car anyways bro fairplay Jack sounds like a good dude too
Now theres a legit shrewd negotiator!
Ed Bolian would be proud
That has to be one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen
We’re e up early here in Atlanta watching this in the shop
friend of mine in Atlanta had one , Imported by Stallone Motor Company in 1988 ( I think)
When he was talking about how they could have been 2 different cars and then shoes the pic of the ass end of them I was like yup that definitely could be a different spec or something
How to shrewdly negotiate without really trying??? Nice find!
Great young storyteller…. Obviously watches Ed and knows cars!!!! Well done young man!
I’m jealous. Great find dude!!
Holy shit I live in Roanoke to lol. Seeing these pictures and I'm placing the car around town loo. I'd love to meet the owner (okay meet the car, tbh), if he's on here and sees this.
One of the best looking Mercedes period. I just wish it was a manual
whenever I see this car all I think about is The Egyptian Lover’s Greatest Hits album cover lol
Didn't know these existed. That rear is sexy. Reminds me of a GTR.
Need more on this car im hooked what did it need? What did it cost to fix? Does he still have it?
Was sold 2 months after purchase apparently
Good ole Berglund Luxury.
Never know what they’re gonna have to find.
