  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1997 Mercedes-Benz S500. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    When you sit in the car and close the door it's like a mute button for the outside world. This generation was expensive for engineering reasons rather than the logo.

      @barry mccaca nowhere near as reliable as this. W140s (especially the one with the M119) don’t suffer engine problems like the E38, such as the plastic timing chain guides breaking and falling into the oil pan, trashing the engine… the M119 will run forever as long as it has oil in it. Can’t be said for BMWs V8

    I owned the 1999 S500 model which was the last year of this body style before Mercedes switched body styles which I gave to my Dad because it was always his dream car and he still owns it to this very day and it's still his pride and joy even through he has new SUVS! I have been in search of a very specific 1999 S420 LWB since giving Dad the S500 years ago and it has been a long process finding what I'm looking for. Great video.

    Bought one of these last week, 97 in a very dark blue with cream leather, S500 with 120,000 miles, full service history, 3 owners. Very original unmolested car, has the electric rear window blind and heated electrically moveable rear seats.
    Only thing I can see that needs fixing are the headlamp wipers and 1 front elec window is not going up or down on the 'one touch'.
    No rust, mint interior, re furbished wheels, good tyres, just needs a good polish.
    Drives well, brakes good etc, feel very special driving it and cost me just £1600. Not bad for a car that cost around 70,000 quid 18 years. ago!!
    WHY WOULD'T I????

    • @1Reddd
      @1Reddd 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aspie Otaku Not really, Mercedes engines are actually quite bulletproof. It's just that when things do go wrong, which they will because every car wares down with age, it will cost a boat load of cash to replace or repair. So when things do go wrong with a older Mercedes people tend to sell it instead of fixing it, which is why you can't find many Mercedes cars in good condition. Because the ones that ARE in good condition, are being enjoyed by the people who are willing to pay the expense to owning such a prestigious car.

    • @1Reddd
      @1Reddd 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** That is true. Also learning more about your car, and doing as much as you can by yourself is also a way to avoid all the ridiculous repair bills... However, regardless of who repairs the car, a specialist or yourself, the price of the parts will almost always be the same... And parts for these cars aren't cheap.

They reward understanding and knowledge more than $'s. The post face lift versions, 95' & up are generally preferred for various mechanical reasons. Bruno Sacco, I thank you.

    Its nice to see what kind of standards and options a luxurious car had 16 years ago! You can notice a lot of things that are considered standard now a days, but were state of the art in 1997. One thing I noticed was the auto closing doors, I thought that was a modern option from new Bentleys and Rolls Royces, but apparently, the options has been in existence for quite a while. I would have expected it to come standard on a average C-Class by now!
