The 5 speed automatic transmission that Mercedes-Benz used it a masterpiece, with a V8 or V12 you dont need more gears than 4 or 5 the motor has enough torque to move this full size sedan around. And the 5 speed automatic transmission is really reliable compared to the transmission that replaced it. I have never understood why a normal vehicle need more gears in a automatic transmission than 4 or 5, it is just something that will break and be expensive to repair...
I thought it's the same later model s600 that made nearly 500bhp. That's a monster of an engine and only can use its full potential on the autobahn. I would say take it to a drag strip but I knew you got Mechanical issues to worry about
It's a lovely car! Insurance isn't actually too bad, but running costs (petrol, UK car tax) are high, and there's always the potential for a very big repair bill with a car like this!
Thanks, that's good to know 👍 I actually usually just use my phone even on cars with more modern sat nav, but it's always good to have in the car as well.
That S600 is made to have a driver. The owner sits in the back. Im sure he/she gets thisty. And/or...being a 4 door, it's a family sedan. Kiddos get thirsty.

I agree, 5 speed is plenty with this much torque!
Yeah, owning 2 Jaguar V12s with the shitty GM 3 speed auto, I agree - these are a revelation and you don't need more than 5 gears.
2005 S600 here.....i luv mines.
It operates in open space areas only.
For a 20 yr old car it performs Superior, effortlessly!!!(Highway preferred)
Yes definitely best in the open and on the highways... It's awesome at that 😎
Welcome to the family my friend 👊🏽
Thank you 🙂
Lovely car and it now looks a lot better without the gold trims and wheels. The AMG bumpers make it look really nice.
Another great video 😊
Thanks a lot mate 🙏 yeah the gold wasn't really my style!
I have owned one for 3 years I love it. Such an undervalued car
Congratulations 🙂
I agree... It's so much car for your money!
M275 ❤ beast. Have the R230 SL600 👍🏼👌
Awesome car, I'd love an SL600! Yeah the M275 is brilliant 🙂

In the UK (possibly worldwide?) the later W220 and all W221 S600s had the same M275 engine with close to 500bhp.
I'd love to do that 🙂
I have a 2006 S55. I bought it instead of a V-12 car because of the coil assembly on the V-12.
Great car and a wise choice. The V8 in the S55 is meant to be very solid... And I love a supercharged engine!
You're very lucky, that’s my dream car, but the insurance on it must be quite expensive though

Used to have a CL500 with ABC - you should not get any body role at all with suspension set - takes some getting used to... You did mention ABC pump.
Great car 🙂 Thanks....have had the ABC looked at now and it's all working fine 👍
The navigation system can still be used. Updated discs are available and very easily replaced.
Thanks, that's good to know 👍 I actually usually just use my phone even on cars with more modern sat nav, but it's always good to have in the car as well.
I have had a Clk 500 2004 for the last 6 years and absolutely love it ...yeah its cost a bit but I cool with that 🙂
Lovely car 👍 and probably the best engine choice to be honest!
Your car looks much better than it did when you got it.
Thanks very much 🙏
@@Rich_Runs_Cars you are very welcome.
Cup holders in the rear center arm rest. The driver doesn't drink while driving.
Of course! I was forgetting it's a limo 😂

I think someone told it's the golden era of Mercedes and he took it too far
😂
😅😅😅😅
Oh man! Just buy a late model Mustang and call it a day. Buying a money pit like this is crazy.
Haha, yeah you're probably right there... Definitely stupid and a potential money pit!
Epic car. The new wheels and 3D plates are awful.
Thanks for the feedback 😂
