2015 Mercedes Benz SL 550 Roadster Review and Test Drive by Bill - Auto Europa Naples

[@jurel6982]

I’m a 19 year old Asian kid in college but when I watch this guys videos I pretend I’m 49 and white with a decent 401k on the way to the golf course to crack a few cold ones with my buddies from work

[@sixdegreesofgaming4719]

Ok?

[@adelhartreisig9020]

🤣🤣🤣

[@bobd9868]

Ha, that’s funny!

[@cdnetwork9253]

These are honestly the best videos ever! I love how he just vents half way through his videos! Keep em coming!

[@packodenton]

This model is my first Mercedes Benz purchase. Thank you for the excellent review

[@MitchGrooms]

YOUR X GIRLFRIEND? LORD, THESE ARE THE BEST VIDS EVER.. LOL.. KEEP THEM COMING BILL

[@10469]

This SL is so bad ass .. even the flies love it.

[@philnleblanc6664]

Bill...you’re awesome. That ex-girlfriend line killed me 😂

[@classic-kool]

Love your vids Bill … they are educational AND hilarious! .. Keep 'em coming!!

[@classic-kool]

BTW, ToP Down, that is one HOT car! …

[@terrelllee9020]

I seem to watch this video about once or twice a year because I bought this exact same model 3 years ago the cause of this video❤

[@mariegunnerson7796]

Nice review. There are two small things that everyone misses. There are umbrella holders in the door side panels. Although you have to find a fairly fat and short umbrella to store there else it slides into the pockets when you have stop. And SL is missing the exterior "shark fin" or satellite antenna found on almost every other car. After the SL Mercedes is hiding in some of the other newer models as well. Oh, and one other thing. Change the time and watch the clock on top of the dash! Ok, silly things. But the important stuff was already covered. The adjustable warmer massaging seats were an important factor for me after having them in my 2004 Cadillac DTS. When I experienced being able to just turn on the heat to my back without having to heat the whole seat along with a little massage I was in middle aged heaven! The SL does it even better, with a better massage and varible heat direction. And Mercedes lets you cool and heat at the same time. This car has power that exceeds what the old AMG models had so even the "base" 550 is quite quick. And deceptively quick. I just put my foot in it a little to go around a cluster of cars - there are plenty of room and there no anger involved, just an opening in traffic - and in a blink of an eye I was looking at triple digits. The down side? Tires for the car are expensive! And they don't last long. While some love to pan the car for not looking like a supercar or being an AMG GT this is much more liveable than any of those with space in the interior and even a reasonable trunk. I can get a lot in it even with the top down. Lots more than in that XLR! And simply being able to press a button to have the air deflector in place or hidden is a great feature when transitioning from highway to cruising!!

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

One of the most entertaining reviews!

[@tedk572]

Summed everything up perfectly for me. This car will be a perfect replacement for my recently totaled 560sl SL I owned for 30 years 😢

[@c.d.scalemodels9198]

“More flies...... more damn flies!!!!!” My side hurts from laughter!!!!! I kept rewinding that part because I found it so hilarious...... Bill is comedy gold!!!!!!!!

[@randallfrank5682]

What a beautiful outside/inside color combination.

[@dedealexander9135]

You did a beautiful job! Just got one and this was helpful to know about a few features I hadn’t yet discovered! “Time to rise up…” 😂

[@callelindstrom4789]

Great video. So good to have you back, just love your vids ! keep it coming:)

[@CrucialSpeaks]

Great coverage of your awesome cars! ..You ALWAYS bring up some birds! LOL We are Benz guys (BenzcareAuto In chattanooga) and love to see you and your lot.

[@Happyman-od7zp]

Man, I saw a one like this, in New York. Really funny, but detailed video, Bill.

[@Finesse460]

That top is 'hauling ass' LOL! I love your videos man! I watch them all the time! You make me wanna buy a car, seriously!

[@cassinihuygens]

what you said about cruise control really hit home. i drive highway 70 back and fourth at least once a month and nobody knows who to use it! drive’s me nuts

[@mrmr1734]

Absolute hysteria, Bill is a comedian!

[@GenoGruber]

I stopped by only because I have the same car, your review is fun! thanks.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Another great video Bill, keep them coming. SL is a very different car to a 911, both do what they are intended to do very well.

[@angelbreath6539]

Love your wit. Always have a laugh and always an honest review 👍 greetings from England (or what’s left of it) 🍻

[@randyjefferson9007]

Monster ride!!! Way ahead of it's time..

[@lestergrantham4452]

What a vehicle!!! Masterpiece

[@gedaman]

Bill’s walk arounds are the most entertaining things I’ve ever seen in car sales. I would love to work with him at my Toyota dealership. Everyone is so monotone where I work. I hope to be wealthy enough to go down to Naples and buy a used Mercedes-Benz from Bill someday.

[@twilliams8041]

what a beautiful car. There is no front bumper?

[@knubbzink]

Awesome video! Didn't you also review the 2007 a while back? Im still looking for that 2007

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

Amazing deal, how do you find all the crown jewels at any price point? Thank you for your articulate, well-informed and hillarious reviews! Is that a go-pro?

[@jusmyamg65]

Love that interior color!

[@the.rogue.roman.77]

I'm glad there's a car KZbinr who describes convertible tops as "hauling ass"

[@1000yearz]

Bill is the MAN!

[@gbcprofesional]

My God man, turn on your cruise control! I came for the car, and the commentary got me hooked! ..lol Man youre funny.

[@philging]

Great review style Bill . . . funny and informative.

[@grgygantz6760]

Horse power, a lot. Hammer the throttle. Crazy.

[@thewiseguy3529]

Watching the gauges do that is like the car stretching and waking up

[@j.jmcquade5278]

I'm fixin to buy one of these in Texas for $46k with 22,000 miles on it for my mom (mostly) ;-). Just curious of any maintenance/reliability feedback.

[@postalgreetingcards]

Nice car Bill. One of these days I'm going to upgrade my '99 SL500.

[@lucifersonsco.230]

6:30 windows don't just stay up they are designed to go up so next time try it with the windows down you'll see

[@luisantoniosblog.gonzalez9315]

Stunning!!!

[@yaboibababoey834]

Can you control the roll bar like the older ones?

[@tokyowarfare6729]

I love this car, I love also how mint your cars seem.

[@mrkongsimr]

Love this SL specially with the red interior I’ll trade my 04 in for one when I win the lotto because I won’t get anything for it even with 20k , nice damn video as always. Thanks

[@luxurreview]

The wind deflection works well

[@user-qy2wf2lt6v]

Would this be worth it for a first time car?

[@tonyrappa4611]

No

[@visionboard1783]

I like your knowledge and car is sweet im thinkin bout financing a 07 model💐

[@rls895k]

Price? Sold?

[@michaelbenvenuto8713]

Great video

[@dustz33]

"Built for the a-flu-ent, but now available for second tier guys with them coming onto the used market, give us a call" what a pitch!

[@efechristian7625]

How much for this car now?

[@bigboo2097]

eh SL's went down hill. the best years we're 2003 to 2008, what the helll was Benz thinking with the whole body change

[@borisyurinov4822]

They discovered crack cocaine. Hope the new one is better. Heard it's gonna be a 2+2

[@MillerVanDotTV]

R129 aging the best imo

[@bobd9868]

Yeah, these R231’s are hideous looking.

[@DEFACTO9]

Did you do any work other than polish this Car?

[@243wayne1]

Damn flies... God Damn morning mist... Hahaha!

[@mosesm7428]

The SL should be for Sport Luxury, it is heavy but that is good, means much more stable on high speed, more stable is more important than zero to 60 ratings, lighter weight cars can loose control easily especially if a gust of cross wind intersect it, or on a roads where there are dips in the pavement, I regretfully noticed that the quality of materials and paint in a the 2013 and up models are a lot less quality than the S and E classes, the paint mostly not ceramic, the black upper and lower grills are cheap, low quality, less dense and brittle, they fade quickly during nozzle types of car washes, sadly corolla quality, the leather seats wear out horribly quickly, arm rest covering is thin and feels like a cheap vinyl, air intakes hoses are trash, car of that caliber should have better built quality, the red paint clear coats are peeling off and Mercedes are repainting theses cars at their cost, the rear windows side triangle pieces are flacking off.....etc i am a big fan of Mercedes vehicles, I currently own 3 S classes and a 2014 E550 coupe, I have been looking for a pre-owned SL550 for over a year and yet to find one that is perfect as the other 4 pr-owneds I got.

[@yuanyuanalan6092]

so beautiful car

[@mikkellorenzen1637]

I wanna go the US and buy a Mercedes from you, Bill! 🙂

[@rabshan5426]

Today I smoked it with my F30 today that’s why I’m here to see what it is

[@ayres6727]

What is the difference between this and SLC AND SLK?

[@secrethamilton1195]

The jab at your ex... legendary!!

[@mikepaul396]

Good video

[@irabraswell8172]

Best car ever, the R230 ruined me for anything else.

[@bladerunner6282]

it's not at all likely that people are changing the speed on their cruise controls it's just that not all cruise controls are equally capable of maintaining a constant speed under all conditions. there are many factors to consider including the weight of the vehicle, head/tail winds, inclines/declines and acceleration and deceleration capabilities of engines and brakes. and BTW, this wise-cracking guy sounds like the kind of 'buy it or not, it's up to you.." car salesman i like to buy a car from.

[@Liplip40]

This was one was fun

[@DEFACTO9]

Prediction: if You're in the US.. and into Guns, Music , Big Money, Vice or , Politics.. Bills yer Man!. Confidentiality assured. "Room for your clips," "" great audio for yer drug deals" ""Room for your Grenades"

[@paolozanconato3665]

Beauty full video

[@pastorvickiemurphy1579]

Yes sir it is lovely to much car.

[@Mr.Higginbotham]

Very nice.

[@jonboy9912]

Nice review of an excellent - if over complicated and indulgent car. However, may I point out that the word I think you need when describing what you believe to be the original owners of this car is "affluent" with an "A" not "effluent" with an "E" - these words mean very different things. Maybe you really mean rich people are all effluent and I am missing the point?!!!

[@Fabz794]

he actually said the wind deflector will keep the noise down when your speaking to your drug connection ffs

[@ntshembo]

I think this is still the R230. Hence the styling looks half backed.

[@MDavidG1]

No, this is the R231, which is substantially lighter than the R230 due to the use of more aluminum in the construction. There were many other changes/upgrades as well.

[@Tommy_Irish]

Just for the record, Bill hates anything with wings! Lol

[@AutoAbsolute]

conversation with broker, real estate agent or drug connection - i died, he knows who buys these cars :D

[@Niles-Guy]

Floridians consider anything under 70 frigid temperatures. I can imagine 1 inch of snow and the entire state is paralyzed

[@nknasi]

the only real weakness of the car is the rear styling. not very good.

[@KhalidKhan-co1of]

It is a theeess chay vehicle!!

[@fludeball]

Bill should date the blonde lady from the Auto Haus videos.

[@MDavidG1]

Bill is now working with Mary Anne and her husband Peter again. They have been friends for years.

[@bvisse]

these are the best reviews - you should quit selling cars and just do reviews. So funny - steal the old lady's purse

[@j.jmcquade5278]

Was so funny when you said drug connection 😂😂😂 I swear I was just saying drug dealer & prostitute right before you said that lol

[@jeffwolf8018]

The only time you do afford a 5 to 10 mile an hour up and down speed is when you're breaking in a motor when you first buy a new car

[@lucifersonsco.230]

the key fob hasn't changed in years

[@andywheeler2645]

You know! You know!

[@vahebaldemian]

Hey Bill. Seeing how you mentioned the ventilated seats, which other deadbeat car manufacturers call "cooled" seats, Mercedes is still the only car that you can ventilate and heat your seats at the same time. Nobody wants a sweaty ass when you're on a hot date.

[@robertcorrales4774]

you know

[@hueytrump2711]

Your ex ?

[@mp3545]

You know, silver generally looks boring on cars. Except on MB SLs, then it’s pure sex appeal.

[@felab5313]

WELL IT IS A FLY CAR MATE.

[@tedingram516]

Wink wink nudge nudge those elderly gals just want to get busy with Bill.

[@untilkingdomcome]

10:26 Drug Connection lol

[@thewiseguy3529]

This car is so badass even the Jews love it 🤪🤣

[@Fancyman181]

How does this car do over road bumps, it’s so low... 🤣🤣... but in all seriousness

[@Fancyman181]

Speed bumps*

[@theabujarealestateguyrealt1455]

Drug connection 😄😄omg

[@stephenlacher5460]

Real estate agent! HA! With 120 month financing and a balloon at the end!

[@jetstream454]

Lol...steering wheel and brakes are all still mechanically connected 😂 It's not SBC

[@slyguyaction]

He gets so upset about anything that flies.... 😂

[@jeremyrobinson7919]

It’s sexy as hell 😂😂😂

[@lastwhtknight3002]

Bill or the car?

[@Mr2pint]

Not at all a hansom car but imagine it's very capable...

[@DEFACTO9]

Car salesman bill.... Im sure the issue changes post sale.. lol "good morning.. this is BILL"

[@andrebrown5238]

Drug connection, watever. #LOL

[@lukeskywalker1574]

Nooo, not another silver mercedes, they are everywhere these days lol. Black is best!

[@rogeliovilla8760]

SAY GOOD BYE TO MERCEDES CHINESE PEOPLE...
