Devin you know what you’re doing, then Craig goes on to lecture him for an hour about what to do. 😂

[WTF-shis]

Craig: the type of car guy that knows nothing about cars but knows everything about frosted tips 😂😂😂😂

[Alabastard]

As someone with a v12 version of this car and a mercedes mech this was incredibly painful to watch

[egarc]

This guy is a real piece of work. He’s more worried about a stubby antenna than the clear coat he ruined by slapping duct tape all over it 😂

[Estilocampirano]

I bet Devin is telling him to stfu in his head because he already knows what to do 😂

[KarnageKollectibles]

"This car is garbage". So what does he do? He buys another one.

I love your channel but I think you are micro managing your detail dude. I've noticed this in other videos too. Do you have trust issues? No disrespect, just an observation

[jmorris]

Craig says stay away from the MBs, but then goes out and buys any Audi, regardless of how shitty.

[remote]

Taping that Mercedes up was one of the biggest brain farts ever.

[garys]

There's no such thing as a cheap used Mercedes, even the S class. There's a reason they're at a third to half of their original MSRP at Manheim Auctions with low mileage. Today's MBs will last you nowhere near as long as MBs from the 70s.

[NikoTn]

I burst out laughing when I saw the second SL500 also in red.

[richardmorris]

That Merc looks ruff for 39k miles. Hard to believe on such a high quality car. Dont know how the mileage got finnagled but it just gives that impression.

[mbzizdp]

I admittedly 1/2 a$$ watch these videos so I might be wrong but if I understand it right he sometimes buys a car at one auction and then tries to sell the same car down the street a few days later at another auction. Can’t wrap my head around that logic.

Had a 2003 just like yours. Bought it for $26k in 2013. It was perfect in every way. Had just 25, 000 miles on it. I thought I would keep it forever. Started hearing stories about how the air suspension system would suddenly fail one day and cost $4000.00 to repair. $1000 per shock absorber. One day while opening the top plastic pieces broke off and flew in several directions. The top still worked but the plastic trim replacement parts would have cost me over a $1000 for a 10 year old car. Didn’t know what might happen next. That’s when I made the decision to sell it. Sold it to an older dude who came out with his wife just as you suggested might happen. Got $16, 000 on my original investment. Cost me $1000 a year in terms of ownership. Loved the car. Only put a 1000 miles on it in 6 years of ownership. A quality Low mileage vehicle that sold new for close to 100, 000k should never fail and require expensive replacement parts from just sitting by itself inside your garage!

Craig this is Richard Main Street Autos in Florida. Why are you not repainting the clear coat that peeled…that cold night back in January? No woman going to buy that car and she can’t show it off till she sends it to the body shop. I believe this is why you haven’t sold the car in past 7 months. Just a car guy opinion

[Alps]

I had an SL55 and they are great cars BUT the ABC suspension and vario roof can be problematic which can essentially make these cars worthless as a simple repair can cost in excess of $10k.

[sfgarry]

I was the guy in Florida that called you regarding buying an SL500 at Mecum. THANKS for telling me to run from these MB SL 500’s, I owe you and I’ll let you know when I’m selling my 23 Z06 next year when my 25 ZR1 gets delivered. Welcome back to The Sunshine State.

[TroyJamesMD]

Such an easy fix on the clear coat. That would have been my first fix That's why nobody wanted it. You spend 10k you get nice paint.

[dougholdem]

Owned a 2004 SL500 bought in 08 and then a 2009 SL550 in 2013. Bought each for 52K when 4 years old less than 12k miles and both had extended warranties from MB that's only transferable in private party sale. Had the usual issues, pump for top, strut, suspension issue. Loved both. '09 same color red as yours.

@8:42 telling Devin that he knows what to do and proceeds to tell him more of what to do for an additional 7 mins🙄🤔😡
