Got one! A 94 Mk1 3.0 saloon in “Tropical Green” with a tan leather and light wood interior. I believe it’s the last RHD in his colour & specification in existence. 😁

I'll give you advice. DON'T BUY IT!!!!

I still have my Volvo 960 - 1996 model. I purchased in brand new and been with me for all these years despite going through several BMWs and Mercs in between. It is serviced by the same people over the years and they seem to love it and want to buy it off me everytime they see it. I've done 5 trips up and down from Darwin, NT to Adelaide, SA each time 1500 kms per day two days to cover little over 3000kms from Darwin to Adelaide. Not a single problem driving through very lonely, very hot areas, not even a puncture or a cooling issue. Thank you for the video and I was very excited.

I have the 2002 245i Series. I could not get into my car and I even went the key.I've never had this problem before.But I seem to be having a problem getting inside the car with the key.It works on the trunk , but it won't work on the door.

I bought the 2000 version of this car a black one, I love it so much. It’s so nice it has 140k ish miles and the rear air was replaced and it has small issues I’ve already found parts for, overall like 300$ more. I bought it for 3k on offer up in so cal, good condition no bs

❤😂Too old already now. Too classic and bulky. Lack of technology and safety features. Unlike new ones now. New ones now are much better. Better and safer. Better classic and elegance now. For Mercedes name.

My 204 from 2013 has done 188.000 km. Still running smooth without any noise! Had some repairs but he, thats normal. Giving this baby their frequent a and b service and they keep running.

The wide wheels really make it in the picture, never liked the original wheels

Yes California where gas is very cheap of course.

اسمع العلم

Just like mine and same year!

No actual facts about the design - my grandmother knows more detail than you mentioned = PATHETIC !

Bought my 2005 Z4 almost 3 years ago. Brilliant car. Love it!!!

Please am attempting to buy v8 4.2L is it reliable engine?

wow 2017, it feels like a century ago

This is an excellent review! Thank you so much. These are my favorite 7series and these are the years I would want to buy if I was going to get one. The prices for these models range from $15,000 USD up to $75,000 and sometimes higher if it is low miles or the V-12 edition. Most of them for sale range from $30,0000-$60,000 depending on milage and how nice the model is. I like these year models the best. I personally like the tan interior. Some of these 7series are extremely powerful! Here in the US the 8 cylinder engine is most common in these cars. I would love to drive the V-12, maybe someday I will be so lucky. Where I live in the USA is New England. We have cold winters and slippery snowy roads. I would like to own one, and drive it every day. It would be expensive and the parts for these cars are expensive. Changing the oil is hard with the way they are designed and repairs are very very expensive! I would consider buying one with a reliable engine. At the end of the video you suggested a 760Li, I would like that too! $300,000 euro is too much for me. Hahaha. I have enjoyed all of your videos over the years, and i appreciate this video made for me. I would enjoy having a video call and getting to know eachother. Maybe someday I can be a special guest for a car review video. I can try to get a camera so we can both live stream a car review together.

@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB Greetings from Maryland, USA. New subscriber here. I've been watching the Mercedes 500 sec Coupe model year from the late 1980s. Also the e-class E 320 Coupe and E 300 Coupe from model year in the early 1990s. What is your opinion on buying one of these Benz and if you were to purchase one which one would be your first choice? I am also looking forward to comments from your other subscribers. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience!!!

And after every 100 000km's you'll need replace the timing chain and sprockets

My family car is a South African assembled, C200K manufactured in 2003. It has the 1.8 liter M271 supercharged engine, 5-speed automatic. The car was originally used in Japan for five years and had about 20,000 kms on the odometer before being exported to Malaysia. My father purchased it in 2008 and we still use this car in 2024, clocking only 68,000 kms. My father can't drive anymore due to his advanced age and Parkinsons Disease, so I am the only one driving it for the past three years. Our Merc was generally trouble free until 2014 and then it started giving problems one after another. The car is serviced/repaired by two different garages and if the problem was urgent I would send it to the one nearest to my home. Mechanical issues: 1. The engine was slightly misfiring and we had the all four ignition coils replaced at the end of 2014. 2. In 2019 the engine starter once jammed at a relative's home on a hot afternoon, and we had to get the mechanics to come and fix the problem on the spot. 3. The foot brake release handle snapped off early this year, while the (right) driver's side door handle broke off last year. 4. The transmission makes a whine on the first three gear ratios. It made no noise during the first five years' of ownership. 5. The engine sometimes idles roughly after a cold start, but runs smoothly after it has warmed up. It never had this issue when the car was still "new" with us. 6. All front and rear shocks were finally replaced recently in 2024, along with the lower arm bars, linkages, etc. We have never had the absorbers replaced since the car was purchased. It was the most expensive bill to date. Electrical issues: 1. The driver's side air vent made a soft but annoying whooshing sound, like a vacuum pipe sucking air, whenever the car was accelerated. It was finally fixed by replacing the blower's fans and the motorized flaps. 2. The dashboard's LCD status panel doesn't display the information properly for the last five or six years. 3. The right side wing mirror's LEDs will not blink while folded which shows up as 1 malfunction on the center display. 4. The CD changer worked erratically since the air conditioner's evaporator coil was replaced in 2021 as part of the dashboard had to be dismantled. It usually shows "No CD changer" each time I press the CD button on the head unit. The only time which it _does work_ is when the battery had been exhausted and replaced with a new one. Even then, the CD changer reverts to its inoperative state after two days. 5. The alternator was replaced with a new aftermarket one in 2022 since the garage mechanics couldn't solve the electrical drain issue that's still plaguing the car to this day. 6. The steering column multi-function stalk malfunctioned in 2017 (it wouldn't stay put) and was replaced with a new one. 7. The SRS warning light stays on even while driving. This problem surfaced only recently and I was told that could be caused by brake issues. 8. The automatic headlights, in the Auto position fail to turn off when the light sensor detects sunlight in the daytime. 9. The overnight battery drain, which was first noticed in 2021 had already cost me four new 12v batteries and a new alternator. In a bid to solve the excessive battery drain problem, the electrician pulled out the fuses for the radio and the interior light. This only slowed down the parasitic battery drain and then the car would also be without interior lighting and the radio. The car is now back at the garage for the third time as the car still drained the battery in 3 days despite the interior dome lighting unplugged from its socket. As much as I like this W203, the electrical drain issues have been driving me up the wall and I'm fed up having to charge the battery at home each time it goes flat overnight. 😢 *Full disclosure:* The only mods that I have done to this W203 is to replace all the rear tail light filament bulbs with LEDs, as well as the front turn signals. Headlights and fog lamps are stock halogens and so are all interior lights. I've seen YT videos of W203/204 owners upgrading their exterior light bulbs to LEDs and their cars are fine.

The only weak point of these are the A/C. Never ever blows super cold if at all. Could be because they are 35 years old. Lololo

All cars as much as we love looking and admiring them, should be DRIVEN and ENJOYED!!!!

Do your research properly bud, some comes with 7 or 8 speed zf trans.

I’d like you to do a video on the bmw 7 series from 2014-2017 ish

Nice video on this great SUV. I had a 2007 Volvo XC90, what a fantastic car! I like the new intro on your channel. The car source!

Afternoon I'm staying south Africa, Vereeniging can I buy it Evin I'm staying here, 2005 to 2007, price how much 15 dolllas is how much south African price

My Suzuki Swift is giving me headache after headache, but i can afford the repairs and other second hand cars are even more expensive... I bought it second-hand with 197000 km on the clock with it now being 222000 km. This is my list of issues: - Light switch handle broke internally causing the front lights to not come on. - ABS pump fail. Turned out it was already broken when i bought it, but the previous owner made a botchjob by wiring the rear left brake to the rear right brake. ABS pump and brake booster were replaced. - wishbone rubbers in the front were worn out and had to be replaced. I chose to completely renew the wishbones in the front including the ball joints. - Center and rear exhaust muffelers were worn and rusted and were replaced. - Right front speaker broke due to corroded connectors. Entire speaker was replaced. - Backlight instrument panel for fuel and temperature often ain't working. Choosing to leave that as is. Don't really need that info as much as the speedometer. - Timing chain needs replacing. That will be done asap. - Gearbox will be overhauled soon, including a completely new clutch while were at it. The bearing is starting to become worse... - Starter motor is becoming worn out. Is on the list to be replaced but is not a priority. - Due to a lack of service history it recently got a complete service with every little detail checked. All the filters were changed, engine- and gearbox oil was changed, wipers were replaced, tires were replaced, brake fluid was replaced, foggy headlights were cleaned up, a bit of rust on a brakeline was checked and cleaned, spark plugs were changed, AC received a full service and the car was deep cleaned. Luckily the garage owner is a collegue of mine which means i usually pay half of what things would normally cost. This means i will do the timing chain and gearbox overhaul despite the high cost. There is no sign of rust on the car so i am planning to keep it for a couple more years!

I have problem with climate control AC .....can it be fix or buy new one ?

To the comment on the top newer cars are far more difficult to fix than this. I have fixed my 960 several times and is a sweetheart to fix is just so easy and i can eat dinner on yhe engine bay while fixing it. There are still parts available. The one to have now i think is the 850 wagon turbo. 859 parts are plentiful and the car is east to fix too. But the 960 is a blast to drive due to the rear wheel drive.

I love the fact that owners only have good things to say about it. My W210 has been in the family for 29 years, and I have no intention of selling it. As a happy owner, I find the maintenance a pure joy. It's so easy to work on.

For Any Budget is not really the case in this video, but I never set a budget when searching for cars since this yields the most results.

I love these cars in geeen

THey are good but I think they don't compare to the MAzda verisa.

Thanks! I just bought a 2013 from auction that’s a non-runner. Working through it now but this was helpful to know what to check before I get too much further

Which would you choose in terms of reliability. A W124 or a Camry (XV30 / 40)

Agree. The comfort levels of the seats are in another level… the leg room

there were a couple of versions: 1.3 92hp 1.3 90hp 4x4 all wheel drive this was only made in japan but some made it to europe second hand market 1.3 diesel - its a diesel from Fiat, not bad if you do many many miles but the petrols are better 1.5 102hp 1.6 125hp (this was the swift sport) The training rental cars on the Nurnburgring Nordschleife (aka green hell), IMO the best race track in the world use unmodified Swift Sports so that tells you something about how much abuse these cars can handle. You can rev them on the redline all day long and still run 300-500k kms without major issues (same cannot be said about the transmission but its not expensive to fix that) Unbeatable cars for the price point.

I just buy one ..why the 1.6 8 v bgu / bse avoid??its a very robust engine,with a belt ...and can run easily 450.000;km...i think you just have to avoid the fsi and early tfsi engines.....its just that car dealers ask 1200 euros extra for the normal 1.6....because it is super reliable and economic engine...

Do not fall for them. They were reliable in their first 7 to 10 years of life but now they are money pit cancer. yeah, I also very much like the idea of a mint 90s Volvo or Saab but I know firsthand that they come with serious engine and gearbox issues. If you want to get an old car, try Japanese cars.

Awesome info! Any details on the "Intake manifold leakage arms"? Im not sure if i heard that correctly. Any solution for the variable valve timing issue? Any issues with the timing chain guides? Are they plastic as well? Thanks!

5:59 - I think that is a 940, not a 960.

On the second hand market now the first gen B-class is more than double cheaper than this one. Can't say this one is worth the money because for like 7 to 10k euro you can find way better cars.

The CL is a odd sick of a Mercedes but it’s really cool that they were made

I really love this review. And I love Mercedes SL!!! Glad you did this

On Friday I’m going to go pick up a 2005 c230 kompressor with only 108k miles on it, it did have a little rust on the doors near the top next to the windows, and I’m in New Jersey where we get quite rough winters. I’ll definitely have to check out the rust on my car when I get it and have it rectified if needed

I bought a 2017 E300 with a 2.0 turbo engine from Stuttgart Germany and brought it back to the US I'm hoping I'm okay because I heard some of the engines had piston failures but I heard it's from the Alabama or Nissan plant is this true?

I recently bought a 530i Touring in Oxford green. Some issues to be solved, but so far I'm very happy to have made this choice. Drives and looks like dream.

It sounds like every other Mercedes. A great purchase until you have to fix things. Then it is way more expensive then it should be.

WTF is this narration

Hi . I am from Greece. Can you tell me the problems w124 e200? Love the videos ❤

I need buying advice instead of specs
