"I bought the S65 to flip it (***curate*** it) even though I won't drive it, when someone else could've gotten a really good deal on it and gotten use out of the car and warranty. I also helped the widebody find its way to various dealerships that will mark it up considerably so it, too, will never see a day on the road again."
That happened here in Louisville too. 221 chassis s65 from carmax that the customer got for cheap. It came in to the dealership with misfires. The warranty ended up buying both heads. The bill in 2014 or 15 was something like 18000. I still see the car around here running strong.
I worked at Carmax in the late 90s. If you got the right/wrong appraiser, they will miss specialty cars once in a while. One caveat about Carmax's warranty: I found out the hard way that a throwout bearing was considered a "consumable" item. They blamed the transmission failure on that $30 part, and I was out $1,700 to replace the tranny on a Galant! :(
When did 2010 S65 sell for 70 grand? Maybe 5 or 6 years ago... Even on BaT most recent prices vary from 36K to 47K. So I suggest everyone to check and compare recent prices everywhere before buying a car like this...
@@Fasteddiebreakshearts Exactly! Maybe 10-15K mile without any accidents. That one has accident an history according to Carfax... I bet Carmax doesn't have pics or any paperwork for that car, I mean service history. You could pull VMI but still buying from Carmax is just like buying from a used car dealer except they provide warranty. I hope it's at least fully transferrable for free. I think it's another attempt of flipping a car...
I bought a 2017 Grand Cherokee from CarMax 3 weeks ago for $20,300. I brought it back to the same store last weekend and they bought it back for $26,000 🤣 I couldn't believe it. Gonna take my new car back in a few weeks to see what they'll offer me.

I’m sorry but that’s not a steal… that’s a fair price for the S65. These cars (the S65 in particular) are not that hot or in demand. Sure it’s got a cool V12 but the S63 holds more of a real AMG value. I can get a 30k mile S65 from manheim all day for 35k and even less. And this is coming from Used Inventory Manager.
@@A_T88 Manheim. But like I said you can get this car for 35k and under at Manheim. They don’t need a major mark up. There isn’t enough room for them to sell it for 35k to a consumer. They most likely bought that S65 from a customer via trade and sold it at what it could possibly reach at auction. I see the carmax buyers alllll the time at the auction. They bid against drive time and drive time always wins.
Years ago my friend was looking at an auto auction and saw a VW Sportwagen. He noticed on the trunk photo it was the TDI (diesel) but they had priced it as a gas model which was going for much less. It had 20k miles and he bought it for $10k. He used it for a couple of years and then the dieselgate scandal happened and he sold it back to VW for $20k.

I didn't know warranty is transferable. Generally these prices are (at least were) in the range of 6 k for MB,BMW and Audi. When Lexus was around 1.5/2K.
I once bought a car for $1. 1988 Honda Accord. Friend of a co-worker had tried GIVING this car away, no takers. I badly needed a car, and as long as it ran, I didn’t care about looks. Well what happened was he was single he already had a couple cars. SOME uncle he didn’t even know existed, died and left him five cars in his will. So he had to get rid of a few of the cars, or the taxes were going to kill him. I had to actually purchase the car for reasons dealing with Social Security and government assistance, I couldn’t just accept it as a gift. So $1 it was. I went into this whole thing expecting a beat up rust bucket. no, the previous owner before his uncle, this car was her baby she had every scrap of paper relating to repair and maintenance on the car. It was immaculate less than 100,000 miles (I bought it in 2004) paint job faded from the Arizona sun, but not too bad. otherwise not a dent ding or scratch on it. SCORE!!! I drove it until i was going to move back to Oregon. so I sold it to a soldier who was recently a Father and they needed a good, dependable second car. I sold it to him for…that’s right, $1. He and his wife were saving up for something decent, so I saved them about $2000. She started crying when she saw it, and I told her the story. Paying it forward, the only way to go.
Summarized: "Man uses a lot of words to describe how he's a rich genius who flipped an OK luxury car, all while maintaining zero charisma and clothes that are way too baggy for his small frame."
Car max warranties are great. I bought a 2012 BMW 750Li with 27,000 miles on it. At 57,000 it broke the timing chain cover. They paid over $11,000 for it to be fixed at the BMW dealership🤣🤣🤣

10 years ago I purchased a Cadillac SRX sport with the v8 for what they were selling base v6s at carmax, I think they just didn't realize the options package it had, I think I saved 5 or 6k.
Someone needs to fact check this guy. Unless this story happened 6 years ago, he’s talking bs. W221 S65’s with under 50k miles sell for 35-40k $, NOT 70k $!!
you know alot of people are knocking this guy in the comments, but think about it, he sells a rare AMG widebody to someone, finds out that their selling it wrong and then goes out of his way to get the guy a better deal and better money for his rare car, while getting a fair small commission for it compaired to what they could have done if he had bought the car, and then flipped it, like that is the kind of guy you DO wanna do business with vs like for instance that currated guy who really comes across as someone you dont want in the hobby somehow, like its value and money first, the flaws and the realism about the cars second with that guy as he never ever says how crappy those things can be, which with an italian car, like he frequently poaches and jacks up the price on, is part of the fun frankly.
My dad got a white s65 from Texas a few years ago and we got it for a quarter of the price because the front door was smashed but easy to replace, its an absolute beast
Hopefully the car is well sorted. OR..you have a great mechanic at hand. The repairs on these , at a Mercedes dealer, can surpass the value of the car in a pretty quick manner
i had to rewind the video 3 times to the introduction of the bmw m3. idk what it was but whenhe mentioned the tobacco leather i just realized thats probably my favorite color interior, then i day dreamed through the video twice about all the other things i liked in that color.lol if he would have refered to the color to anything other then tobacco i probably wouldnt have thought twice.
What I do not understand is that regardless of the pricing model and they bought the car at a given price. So either they themselves bought the car at half price, or they priced it at a loss which seems unlikely.
I know a guy that had the same luck when he was searching for a new car. He went online and saw a 2017 Camaro with low miles and clean title listed for $42k but it wasn't an SS...it was a ZL1! The dealership didn't realize the difference so he got a loan from his bank, got the paperwork all signed, and drove the car off the lot that same day. He said the next day the dealership realized their error but it was too late as the sale had been completed so the dealership was out $13k-$14k on that sale.
Purchased a 2013 M3 from a brand new 3rd party dealership. The owner got injured by a horse and the wife ran the place for awhile. The BMW was listed as a 3 series but the vin matched the car. After I signed the contract. A few days later the owner called me and told me to bring the car back and I owed him 20k. I told him it’s a legal contract and to pound sand lol
what's even more messed up to think about is if carmax undersold the vehicle by half, they likely undervalued and gave even less of an offer to the person who traded it in or sold it to Carmax, i'd imagine something in the 15-25k range...
So, I was the guy that traded that S65 into Carmax. Flame away. Also, the passenger front Michelin PS4 is newer than the rest. I hit a pothole in March. VinWiki/Ryan Feel free to reach out if you'd like any more history on anything.
Carvana thinks I bought a Acura TLX base… I actually bought a TLX Advance. They put in a new battery, resurfaced the brake rotors, replaced the tire inflation kit, and performed a transmission service all at the Acura dealership. Cost me fifty bucks. Difference between the advance and base prices was about 6,000 dollars.
A possible clue for your sponsor: There is an alloy of Gold and Aluminum known to semiconductor manufacturers as Purple Plague. 30 years ago I asked Bob Hazeltine to make my wife's wedding ring using some of this. He was unsuccessful and we settled on rose and yellow gold. It may be possible to add gold dust to a melt of aluminum (I think Bob tried to add the aluminum to a gold melt) to make this beautiful brittle alloy useful in jewelry. I'm no longer in the market to buy, but the unique purple color should attract attention. FWIW

found one for $38k 86000 miles guess the carmax car was a good deal because of the low miles
@@ClearwaterChad even with 25,000 miles that doesn't increase the value anywhere near the $70K this guy was saying it was worth, lol.
agreed
He confused the 221 with the 222.
This guy is the reason so many dealerships suck to work with
1.5x speed helped my brain.... lol 😂👍💯
Wow, that really was better.
Yes and you can see his hair go from long to short.. then BACK to long!!
I tried .75 and can't stop laughing
“I don’t really need a S65 AMG and I don’t drive that much” hahah
Then he says it makes for long commutes!!! It’s a V12 bro!!!
I've learned a lot about different cars thanks to this channel keep up the great content 👍
Can’t believe you got Rob Schneider to tell this story 😂
Damn he looks just like him lol, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was hilarious, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo was hilarious as well, him and comedian Eddie Griffin, especially the scene with that cat.😅🤣😂
10 years ago I purchased a Cadillac SRX sport with the v8 for what they were selling base v6s at carmax, I think they just didn't realize the options package it had, I think I saved 5 or 6k.
Did they comb his hair halfway through the video 😂🤣😂
“She wanted something smaller”
*s65 amg*
Someone needs to calm this guy down a bit! :)
He takes a couple of Valium to perk himself up.
Someone needs to fact check this guy. Unless this story happened 6 years ago, he’s talking bs. W221 S65’s with under 50k miles sell for 35-40k $, NOT 70k $!!
This guy is a great story teller. Bring him back soon
Tell me your jewish without telling me your jewish
you know alot of people are knocking this guy in the comments, but think about it, he sells a rare AMG widebody to someone, finds out that their selling it wrong and then goes out of his way to get the guy a better deal and better money for his rare car, while getting a fair small commission for it compaired to what they could have done if he had bought the car, and then flipped it, like that is the kind of guy you DO wanna do business with
vs like for instance that currated guy who really comes across as someone you dont want in the hobby somehow, like its value and money first, the flaws and the realism about the cars second with that guy
as he never ever says how crappy those things can be, which with an italian car, like he frequently poaches and jacks up the price on, is part of the fun frankly.
My dad got a white s65 from Texas a few years ago and we got it for a quarter of the price because the front door was smashed but easy to replace, its an absolute beast
Hopefully the car is well sorted. OR..you have a great mechanic at hand. The repairs on these , at a Mercedes dealer, can surpass the value of the car in a pretty quick manner
and btw - coup is not a car body type, it's where you keep your chicken
i had to rewind the video 3 times to the introduction of the bmw m3. idk what it was but whenhe mentioned the tobacco leather i just realized thats probably my favorite color interior, then i day dreamed through the video twice about all the other things i liked in that color.lol if he would have refered to the color to anything other then tobacco i probably wouldnt have thought twice.
had this dude on 2x speed and still spoke in a normal tone. lol
Why I am weirdly intune to this man’s soothing description of this Merc?
I can't believe you guys got James Spader on the show
I was just about to make a similar comment lol
It’s referred to as “Exclusionary” coverage- they only list what is excluded.
What car would you buy if you never had to worry about fixing it?
M6 V10
C63 amg wagon
Lexus LFA
Mazda rx8
Rx7 twin turbski. Another e46 M3
Someone said he was boring. I thought he was a great story teller and really enjoyed this video
What I do not understand is that regardless of the pricing model and they bought the car at a given price. So either they themselves bought the car at half price, or they priced it at a loss which seems unlikely.
Nice to know Rob Schneider is into cars. Lol.
Dear sweet lord, this mercedes. I wish I had the money for this drool-worthy V12 monster.
Deuce Bigalow tells us how he bought a benz for low
I know a guy that had the same luck when he was searching for a new car.
He went online and saw a 2017 Camaro with low miles and clean title listed for $42k but it wasn't an SS...it was a ZL1! The dealership didn't realize the difference so he got a loan from his bank, got the paperwork all signed, and drove the car off the lot that same day.
He said the next day the dealership realized their error but it was too late as the sale had been completed so the dealership was out $13k-$14k on that sale.
@Paul S Guess the salesperson or whomever priced the vehicle didn't know or realize the difference between an SS and a ZL1
Purchased a 2013 M3 from a brand new 3rd party dealership. The owner got injured by a horse and the wife ran the place for awhile. The BMW was listed as a 3 series but the vin matched the car. After I signed the contract. A few days later the owner called me and told me to bring the car back and I owed him 20k. I told him it’s a legal contract and to pound sand lol
You must be one of the luckiest guys alive lol, how much profit was it then/now?
what's even more messed up to think about is if carmax undersold the vehicle by half, they likely undervalued and gave even less of an offer to the person who traded it in or sold it to Carmax, i'd imagine something in the 15-25k range...
It's pretty clear this is a bullshit story.
The model he bought doesn’t sell for 70k. You can get one around 32k-33k. He messed up actually. Lol
Did he sober up mid shoot? slicked back hair new voice lol
Bro literally as he started talking about the S class I got an add for an s class
So, I was the guy that traded that S65 into Carmax. Flame away. Also, the passenger front Michelin PS4 is newer than the rest. I hit a pothole in March. VinWiki/Ryan Feel free to reach out if you'd like any more history on anything.
Guy giving off James Spader vibes. Lol I like it
Bring this guy back for more stories. Great speaker
Carvana thinks I bought a Acura TLX base… I actually bought a TLX Advance. They put in a new battery, resurfaced the brake rotors, replaced the tire inflation kit, and performed a transmission service all at the Acura dealership. Cost me fifty bucks. Difference between the advance and base prices was about 6,000 dollars.
Hoovie from "Hoovie's Garage" @ 1:03 🤣😆
Also: Ryan is 100% a prep-boy villain in a John Hughes teen drama/rom-com.
Crazy how just staying on your toes can be so profitable! Another great one VINWIKI! 🤘TEXAS!!!
I like the story but you can tell this guy has never had a greasy knuckle in his life
“And that’s when I realized that the person I had been doggin for the past 4 hours was not only a man but was master yoda” Vinwiki intro plays
Are you pulling my leg "Rob Schneider" with this Mercedes story😆...
Robert California and Rob Schneider have combined powers
Oh! It makes sense Raymond Reddington always loved the S class
A possible clue for your sponsor: There is an alloy of Gold and Aluminum known to semiconductor manufacturers as Purple Plague. 30 years ago I asked Bob Hazeltine to make my wife's wedding ring using some of this. He was unsuccessful and we settled on rose and yellow gold. It may be possible to add gold dust to a melt of aluminum (I think Bob tried to add the aluminum to a gold melt) to make this beautiful brittle alloy useful in jewelry. I'm no longer in the market to buy, but the unique purple color should attract attention. FWIW
I work for CarMax and I can confidently say it’s the worst experience of my life.
"and it doesn't have rims on it" so funny
Lol aka it wasn’t a “rapper/black owned car”
When playing bass for R.E.M. becomes tiring, you start collecting Land Cruisers!
Carmax has a Toyota FJ Cruiser for sale right now for $47,000. These are crazy times.
The FJ people and the Toyota people are weird. I know one girl who’s still driving the second FJ she’s rolled because they’re getting harder to find.
I always remember the ones that got away. A 1964 ISO Rivolta for $ 3500.00, and a 1971 Challenger 383 car for $50.00.
I'm old enough to remember when these AMG Mercedes were new. I would be crazy excited just to see one, much less own one. Which I hope to do some day. Thank you.
Anyone else just get an ad from Richard Branson asking if you want to go to space ? 😂
No such thing technically as a "bumper to bumper warranty" Its a phase the automotive industry really needs to try and stop using imo.
That 300CE AMG widebody coupe is probably the most gorgeous thing to come out of Germany in the 1990s.
Ryan is the man when finding MB easter eggs!
