I don't even own a Mercedes but I still received a $50 bill from Mercedes just from Watching this video.

Last Mercedes I rode, was a stripper in Atlanta.

I've owned the same Mercedes for 20 years, no problems. Runs fine when you are smart enough to keep up with maintenance. Almost any car is fine that way.
I owned a BMW for 6 months and it broke down three times before it ever hit 5k miles.
Any car can be a lemon or not.

I think they shipped the faulty ones to US, here in Germany they run very well.

As a Mercedes-Benz owner, I approve this message. People sometimes admire my car, and say that they want one. I often discourage them.

[eyesoresoob]

100% correct. I work at a Benz dealer in the parts dept, and we laugh at what we charge for parts and service.
The engines rarely fail. Everything else does.

Scotty ....I cant rev up my engine.

The most expensive car you can get is a cheap Mercedes 😂

[ghodkiller]

You are probably not used with euro cars.

1. Brake rotors edge/ridge, I haven't seen a car without them and there is no problem with the edge using oem or aftermarket brake pads, even ford mondeo has those edges here, don't really know about how they are in USA. I consider the edges helpful, you can see very easy how much of it is consumed.

2. Low profile tires enhances perceived stability and that's a plus, the owner of that mercedes has good taste (michelin pilot sport) how fat do you want the tires to be ? It isn't a van, it's a fast cruiser ( almost 400 bhp ) that can go around a bend.

3. Window system, I have a 2003 CLK with the same system, never broke. That system is used by almost all coupes. ( personally seen it on Mercedes, BMW, Renault, Lancia, VW )

4. That depreciation is the same for all expensive non-sport cars. Nobody will buy an old expensive saloon car, usually second hand buyers want a cheap car that does excellent MPG, not a large V8.

5. The prices you showed, you were not really fair, first it's OEM price and you call it a 'shock absorber' but isn't an usual shock absorber right ? CLS 550 uses air suspension, that's why it's so expensive, and it worth the money. As a hack you can buy for the price of an "air pillow" ( that's what we call them ) a full set of coil-over or normal suspension, and will solve the problem of expensive shock absorbers, but will not offer the same ride quality.

6. The errors, I think there is a good thing that they have so many 'computers' and sensors, you can know everything it happens with the car. Not every error is a problem, it is just a value or a parameter that jumped from the pre-defined 'safe' values. This way you can keep track of what's happening to your car. Most of the old cars do not have these sensors and don't 'complain' as much. Just delete the errors and see if they appear again to make sure it was not just a random spike.

You have to keep in mind, no matter the brand, a car that costs $100.000 will have components of a $100.000 car. Wrote this as a car enthusiast an a person that appeciates mechanics like you.

He's just helping us out and informing us, why are some of y'all getting so uptight?

[Justicejamesb]

I didn't take Scotty's advice and bought an x-type Jaguar, a month later the transmission blew, they wanted $8, 000 for the fix. I trashed it. I bought a Taurus for $800, best car I've had in my life. Lesson learned.

[curtisrshaw]

I've been binge watching Scotty's videos and the more i listen to him, i swear it sounds like Mickey Mouse giving me car tips.

[ChrisGugliuzza]

There's always two main types of car owners. People who buy cars for their reliability and cheap cost. The others not caring about long ownership and wanting sexy and fast ones. Buying a car is never a good investment anyway so why are you comparing luxury brands such as Mercedes to Toyota. Different worlds.

This video has been banned in Deutschland, and some of the Mercedes engineers were taken out back and shot.

[pastorgoof]

attention, if you make over $100, 000 a year this video is not for you.

[cjpaul]

I owned two Mercedes for 12 years. everything he said is true!

[benjibumble]

25 problems and a Toyota ain't one

[robertglotzer]

I'm on my fourth used Mercedes. I have owned a 1976 240D, a 300SD, a 190E, and I now own a 1993 300E. I put 110, 000 miles on my 1983 300SD before I retired it with 330, 000 miles, and I drove my 1990 190E for six years and 80, 000 miles - not bad for $2500.  I've owned the 300E for two years, and it drives like a dream.  Before you buy any used car, let alone an MB, you need to have a appraiser examine the car, and have the car's BOOKS AND RECORDS.  If the seller will not consent to your appraiser examining the car, find another seller.  I have been pleased with the durability of my older MB's, but I must say this: The current MB's are NOT the well designed and durable cars of past years. Since the wiring harness fiasco of the mid-nineties, MB has had one embarrassing design or manufacturing flaw after another.  And no - I would not buy a new MB if I could afford one. The current MB's are no longer the MB's of 1980 or 1990!

Not just luxury German cars. My new Volkswagen Passat was a nightmare. Ran well for two years. Then it developed one thing after another. At 24, 000 miles: water pump, various electronic maladies, headlight dimmer switch, electric trunk latch, etc, etc .
The worst car I ever bought--including 55 years of very-used cars. I was never happier to drop the lease, in spite of the $1200 hidden charge the Volkswagen dealer ripped me for. I bought a new Subaru Forester, that has been running for 12 years with no notable problems. Every time I see a Volkswagen ad I see red.
