I have the same E500 S211 4matic airmatic 2004 in black with 18 wheels and its so fun when you want it to be and so comfortable when you are driving calmly. Nothing like old Mercedes.
I found your channel like a week ago and your content is great! Really like the new Merc. I do have a question, could you do a video going over all your cars you've owned?
When I was young, I hated this car because it looked like an undertaker's vehicle. However, now that I'm 35, I love wagons. I adore the interior of this s211!
Nice, looks clean. I have a E500 sedan lowered on coilovers with AMG wheels, AMG front and rear bumper and C63 quad exhaust tips. I think a E63 front end swap would look amazing on this wagon of yours.
MB wagons are awesome. We have an S212 and it's a great car (if maddening because it has 150k and the electronics get frustrating...) Things make sense with it! Have fun!
Excellent choice, beautiful car! What a lot of car and utility for the money! Frankly, anyone that makes those big monthly payments on some generic bland basic new or newer crossover/SUV instead of using that down payment money getting something like this is absolutely out of their mind!
Congrats. I need a wagon in my life. I currently have an 03 S430 and have had a few Benzes from this era. They are not scary to own at all. M112/113 engines mated to the 5 speed are quite bulletproof setups
Coming over from your collab with Sofyan, you got a cool channel and I’m digging the laid back vibe, got my sub! This is a awesome score for $6k, hopefully misfire issue isn’t too bad
i’ve got a 2005 E320 sedan and while I love my car, I really wanted a wagon. super jealous of you! love these wagons (and pewter is a great color! my car is pewter too)
Key to any older premium vehicle is maintenance records. Generally speaking, the owners of these cars have the maintenance done at the dealership and keep records. Don’t buy one that’s been neglected. Even if you need to repair something on these, you’ll get a lot of car for the money if you take care of it. If you can’t save a couple hundred a month for things that inevitably come up, you won’t have a good time. (Same as any car, but it sucks driving luxury vehicles with issues)
@@BernonCarsreliability reasons or just bored of it ? There’s an 03 e500 sedan over here for 8k with 87k miles and I’ve heard this gen is pretty reliable
Does the awd system send 70 rear 30 front or 30 front 70 rear or 50 50 and thats it or doesnt it actually torque vector with the computer like 68 rear 32 front with the stability control?
@@BernonCars i was wondering that about the v6 rav 4 awd system too because ive seen a slow mo video of it engaging in snow and its impressivly fast i think it might use the computer to figure how much to send front an back rather then a set amount

Oh nice! Seriously nothing like them!
Nothing like a young classic Mercedes. Me and my W210 wagon salute you.
Thank you Dan!
there is a cup holder in the rear tap the front of the fold down compartment .. spring loaded and well hidden
Thank you!

Thank you!!! I could! I’ve had a lotta cars 😂😂

That's funny LOL, I'm glad you like wagons now! 😂
😂😂
Those wheels are absolutely beautiful.
Yessss

Oh Bernard! Congrats on the lovely wagon.
Thank you Ben!!

Hey!
Mine too! So practical and I’m so so happy I have one 😂 thank you!

Thank you! Its a fabulous car!
As a mutiple mercedes owner . I love these wagons . m113 are great engines .
That’s so good to hear!
What a cool and underrated car, the rims are so good. Kudos to the editing btw!!
Thank you very much!!

Thank you! Yeah I’m excited to learn how to work on this thing. Love it!
HELL YEAH welcome to the Benz fam! Such rare wheels can’t wait to see more on it
Yes sir!!! Im excited for more Benz content 😂
Welcome to the fleet Klaus 😎
A very good addition to the fleet 🤩
Coming over from your collab with Sofyan, you got a cool channel and I’m digging the laid back vibe, got my sub! This is a awesome score for $6k, hopefully misfire issue isn’t too bad
Ahhh welcome! Thank ya!! It’s been great! Misfire is gone and I’ve been dailying it for a week or so already!
i’ve got a 2005 E320 sedan and while I love my car, I really wanted a wagon. super jealous of you! love these wagons (and pewter is a great color! my car is pewter too)
Nice!! Yeah it was sweeet!
Ash trays for your kids or homiess😂, Yayyy
Yeeeeeeee!! 😂😂
LOLOLOLZ!
I like the wood too, btw.
I have a 2004 E320 4matic wagon. It has 90,000 km (55k miles) and pretty pristine. Great car for a road trip
Nice! I quite like these 211’s!
i got my w204 last year march its been perfect
Nice!
Random but when I saw you walk out on "Redline Reviews" I was like😳! Congrats 🎉
Thank you sir! LOL
Holy shit I wanted to get one exactly like this!
No way!! 😂 what a coincidence
awesome find man!
Thank you!!
ugh so jealous! could not find any e500 wagons in my area for a reasonable price!
It was such a random find too!!
Thats the car I'm looking for.
Misfire is probably a failing ignition coil- easy and not expensive to fix.
Plugs and a new #5 injector did the job! But i’ll keep that in mind
This cost over 100k new 💀
Yeah! 60k back in 04!
There is cup holders in the third row..
Your very good at this.
Thank you!!
I have the same, and it’s a rocket 🚀
Rocket for sure!!!
W211 E500 4matic sedan
"We want Klaus, We want Kkaus"! Lol
Yeah!!!
I ♡ my 211 e500 4matic wagon
You know the m113k is an easy swap for these ;)
Your voice… 😊
Shoutout too my hometown Maryland
Yes sir!!!
Is this the shorty (longy?) on CL right now?
It surprisingly sold quickly on Cars and Bids! I’ll talk about the sale in the near future! Just didn’t wanna interfere with the auction
Good
menuda maquina amigo y menudo sonido v8
Gracias amigo!!!
Do you think 2004 180k is to high to buy these wagons
I don’t think so!
Key to any older premium vehicle is maintenance records.
Generally speaking, the owners of these cars have the maintenance done at the dealership and keep records.
Don’t buy one that’s been neglected.
Even if you need to repair something on these, you’ll get a lot of car for the money if you take care of it.

Do you enjoy it more than your previous XC90?
I still miss the XC90 but this is definitely more pleasurable of a driving experience. Feels much more premium and rides so well
Hows it been so far? Looking at an e500 wagon. 2005 55k miles & $10k…no rust good service history. Should I?
Its been great! But.. I’m having thoughts of selling it already LOL
@@BernonCarsreliability reasons or just bored of it ? There’s an 03 e500 sedan over here for 8k with 87k miles and I’ve heard this gen is pretty reliable
Mainly because of reliability, I really got fed up with it pretty quickly, I already sold it 🤣
@@BernonCarswhat were the problems?
”There’s ash trays, for your kids”💀
LOLL

70 rear and 30 front, and it also does 50/50 but I don’t think this does torque vectoring

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but how's your SBS ?
It’s been replaced!
@@BernonCarsGreat stuff. My 211 320cdi wagon was a powerhouse cruiser and its SBS was simply awesome! Enjoy.
@@russellbeaumont7131 neat!! Would love to try out a diesel 211 sometime.
BOOOOOOSTED
That is a consideration for one day LOLLL
Not worth the money.
If you want a boosted MB get a kompressor out of the gate.
