10 Years With My W210

[@Mevax]

I have a CL500 215 for 2 yrs now. Daily driven (germany) 389.000KM now Perfect car!

[@garyzhang5099]

same, 210 is my Car-repair101 teacher🙂, sounds stupid, but I never touch wrench before I bought my e55. And when I look back, I found 210 probably is the perfect car for new-mechanics as it has 0 tricky design. With a lot of support from both WIS and forum, every repair is enjoyable. (Compare with 210, my lexus is harder to DIY🥴)

Thanks bro your video inspires me to bring this 1996 e320 I6 back to life I just bought. My uncle had a 98 e320 v6 since 2010 and I have so many memories, so I bought one myself off an original owner they’re some dents, some little paint problems, and also a head gasket leak. Thankyou for your videos man!!!

[@TheKingHomer]

Really like your car, looks very immaculate. Also like the subtle changes, I might have opted for alloys in the original silver color though. I got myself a E430 4Matic 2 years ago which was repainted/rebuilt from scratch because of the rust issues here in Germany. Unfortunately the AMG bumpers where not available for the 4Matic models here and getting them now cost you an arm and a leg. Most of the prices for W210 have spiked anyway so please treasure your car for at least another 10 years. :)

What a great car. I have one.

[@RedmanSlapz]

To anyone that knows how to work on cars and turn a wrench. These cars are golden if you want a cheap, reliable, good quality car and the thing that makes them cheap is whoever owns it right now. Doesn't want to put up with the maintenance. They're tired of paying $200 for an oil change thats really 50$ tired of the $100 light bulbs where you can just go to a junkyard and get one for $2 fixing this car. There's so many ways around taking it to the dealer or having another mechanic scalp your wallets...... This is literally my sixth w210 and I started fixing cars with my first w210

[@Edgardoborres]

just got myself a w210 E230.Fix the power windows that won't roll up. Doors that won't open from the inside.Very small matters that was fixed. It is a great ride

[@baraabayoumi5509]

Nice video,one of the best reviews, awesome car and details. We want to see more about the E60

[@luisparadela5819]

I have a E280 24 years old and all original parts 128,000 km naught it with 0 km and can’t wait till 5 years more when it gets to be declared a classic car

[@christopherserrano5868]

Very informative video, keep up the good work! I completely agree with you on how hard it is to source replacement parts and to have work done. Question - Do you have any recommendations on where I can find a OEM front licence place delete for the W124? The part is NLA from Mercedes and EBay has not given me any luck either.

[@SoCal210]

There was a seller on eBay that had reproduced ones but they were pricey, there was also another guy selling new old stock which was also pricey. I think I see both of them still up on eBay.

[@michaelschneider-]

+1 .. Ditto looking for an OEM front licence plate delete. (C124) .. Yeah, the eBay seller thinks he has gold. .. Possibly a 3D printed version might be worth the effort? .. Cheers, M/S

[@michaelschneider-]

+1.. A decade of ownership! .. Calls for an oil & filter change and fresh air in the tires celebration. .. Cheers, M/S P.S., Sourced the AUXITO LEDs you'd recommend for the '94 C124. .. It's a full-on Colorado winter here at 8,150ft elevation. . The coupe has been hibernating since late November. .. Can't wait for Spring '24. .. Much to do with the coupe. .. All the best, M/S P.S.S., That's one schweet OEM condition W210. .. Money well spent. .. Solid logic. .. Nice project !

[@bigboycars]

I love this body. Late 90s gangsta car.

[@TravisSeabrooks]

Same stuff my 200 e430 sport had lol 5years sold 2yrs ago.

[@MR.GEVORG]

У вас отличная машина, Берегите ее. Таких мало осталось.

[@001Tika]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@martin1649]

The blessing of california is the no winter and salt. In europe where it snows everywhere and they only don't use salt in switzerland and belgium i think, everywhere else these cars rusted years ago.. they used the technique of not refining the metal chassis as much and just use thicker paint to cut costs and it shows.. only letdown of these cars....

[@SoCal210]

Even some of the cars here are rusting

[@ChippiAble]

They do use salt here in Belgium, I've had the E200 pre facelift and the rust was really bad, I got the facelift e240 now and it still got a little rust, i'm gonna try to fix it myself but I have no experience working on cars

[@toyotacorollaaltis8613]

I have a 2016 A-45 Amg and I might own the highest milage A class bought it brand new and drove it 400,000km with minor issues

[@RedmanSlapz]

I wanna say barn find but the owner died...never drove it...was passed on to some 17 yr old... He knew what he had but upon him googling and getting pricing for the maintenance he was scared to keep the car. So I got a 2000 e430 with 90,000 mi on it for $3,900.... The only thing it needs is transmission mount rotors and brake pads😊😊😊

[@ڪبتشينوٰ-ع9ث]

nice masterpiece ❤️‍🔥 . do you have any plan to sell it?

[@SoCal210]

Nope

[@worldhello1234]

You have no problems with rust because you live in a hot climate without ice or snow, right? Cheaping out on paint wasn't such a good idea by Mercedes.

[@SoCal210]

The answer was yes for the first 10-15 years, but now cars that have spent a lot of time outside in California’s light rain are rusting out as well

[@armandhernandez1720]

I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos. I’ve own my w210 for 2 years now and I’ve grown more close to it, since watching your videos. It’s a special edition version in quartz silver, I plan to get the AMG body kit but these pieces 😅. I hope to keep seeing more uploads.

[@baitse7676]

I recently brought my W210 '99 E55 back to its former glory with a complete 200 hr repaint. It seems your center console wood doesn't match the rest of the car. I have a spare which may match your interior. My car has birdseye maple, which is darker.

[@Styrbord]

My mom had a w210 1996 brilliant silver (u744 i think?) with a m111 2.0 that we sold to my cousin that i am going to buy back and i am going to put a om605 turbo in and its going to be my first car at 18 i live in sweden. I like your channel keep going!

[@210works]

Didn't know leaking from the oil cap was a possibility, better check my E430 now lol

[@ezmac6386]

Hello socal! Hope all is well with you! I wanted to ask where I can get that gasket for the rocker panel on w210? Mines rotted out and I need new ones on both sides. Just the fronts! Do you have part number/where I can go to purchase? Thank you for your time

[@SoCal210]

They have replica sets on alibaba. I just purchased a couple

[@ezmac6386]

Thank you! I’m looking now. Any key words I need to put in to narrow the search?

[@Malaysianlovesbars]

Hell yeah JAKUB

[@kulkulaatkulkulaat3235]

What a lovely car w210 is. Mine is 98 model with M 112.

[@askbascombe]

[@russellaycock3703]

You mentioned a specific type of headliner or headliner material in one of your videos but I can’t seem to find it again. What was it? Thanks

[@speedsterspeedy2146]

E430- 275hp~ E55 349hp

[@Music96able]

In germany you can buy the EU trunk lid for about 50€ - 100€. If you want, i could buy one for you and ship it to your adress?

[@SoCal210]

I do want one but shipping it is the problem. Last quote I got was $800

[@1995RangeRover]

Beautiful ride...love your dedication bro!

[@haydenedson8344]

Id love to swap boot lids with you and have your US one but shipping from Australia might be a bit expensive

[@SoCal210]

Yeah that’s the biggest problem

[@mmttpp4477]

Nice

[@gugaesitashvili3116]

Awesome car and love your videos! How come your car doesn't beep aggressively as soon as you put a key in it? Please share the sacred knowledge if you got rid of it, it drives me crazy on my car!
