Drew Makes An Easy Profit By Just Cleaning A Mercedes Benz 500SL | Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars

[@Jus287]

£1300 for a detail......Christ!.....and they missed the grubby seatbelt housing.🙄

[@detailingshorts885]

I noticed this lol. These guys are ripping people off. Looks like they didn’t even machine polish nor did they ceramic cost lol what an absolute bump. These are clearly overcharging. I know companies which are just at competitive, yet offering for a lower price.

[@flashrmapping]

is there a bigger wingnut on teh plannet than that Drew plonka - I think not

[@tommyvandervelden2977]

Wow, that polish turned the indicators orange!

[@doca8792]

Yep.

[@Sentosaman]

These are great cars as mine was a 300SL 24 Valve. Very easy to clean with the car form and the high quality leather simple to refresh. The high cost for a valet was not a smart business move and just for the show purposes.

[@scotsman46]

Not surprised about the 1300 valet price charged. The same guy jumps in a white van, drives 300miles, visits a 50 room mansion and buys a 100 quid table. And the only thing, allegedly, the wee man lifts is skirts.

[@alanstanley9465]

They never tell you how much they actually get for it lol

I heard Drew was given a smack in his local a year or so ago! They are going to have another raffle soon!!

This show is so pompous, they never show any in depth restoration details, just them talking crap. It's a poor mans Wheeler Dealers.

[@andrewmc9453]

these are great cars - one of the best made by Merc.

£1300 thats ridiculous, you could have painted it for that!

[@bumfluffmcregor3730]

Drew knocked the profit out of that one the bloke is fucking hopeless at this which car dealer spends 1300 on a valet for a five grand car but don't worry you can make up a higher number that you will never get at the end and pretend you've made money

[@johntate5050]

6:54 That detailer could have done with giving Pritchard a good clean. He always looks a right scruff.

[@petescarport]

And here I am doing a full restore to sell because I’m obsessed with making it right. But yes you can easily buy and sell these. Great video

[@doca8792]

I’ve a 2001 SL. Man what a tank. Lovely cars. Worth the cost of the detailing.

[@benlee6500]

Lovely classic collectible...Nice design of its era

[@ziurkis]

i suspect the previous owner replaced mexico 2000 with cheap Blaupunkt to make some 500 extra profit:)

[@DustyPearl-13]

Same here!

[@allanfulton8922]

Even if you do the work yourself the parts are expensive af.

[@knobrotknobrot]

There were no parts apart from a roof lining.

[@nelsonclub7722]

Cheapest one on sale in UK is a red one for £7,500 Classic Car - in faded red with the wrong wheels, miles to the moon and back, no hardtop a ragged roof, shabby blue interior with warped veneers. Just needs a good clean then.

[@fivedotsdave9723]

The title should read ''drew makes an easy profit by someone else cleaning it'' Did you see that sarcastic look on drews face when he discovered Paul had bought that SL without him being there, he needs a good slap, it's no wonder Rebecca left him....

[@andrewhumphreys9889]

Great car and OK they did the headlining but the rest is basically nothing but a good clean - and they couldn't do that themselves. A joke of a "show" LOL

[@qalba3016]

You can take it back to Mercedes Benz classic center in either Germany or California USA and they can refresh it on Mercedes level change all the parts

[@joesmith9216]

That was not even that bad to begin with, try seeing one of these from new york state in America, the seats are always in shreds and every single interior piece is broken.

[@francisbrown5469]

The cheapest car here in Perth Western Australia in similar condition is for sale at 26500 quid. so dont sell it in Blighty export it to here ...

[@LOTPOR0402]

Must be set up for tv at those prices .Even in the uk you wont get one that cheap

[@benjaminvolant3083]

£1300 for a valet, and they missed some obvious bits, like the seatbelt rest lol. Also, that polish must've been high in acid content, it's magically turned the front indicators from clear to orange hahahahahahaha.

[@gedruane4206]

who the fuck pays 1300 for a valet

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

Yeah, call out here for a full valet is priced on the vehicle being valeted, some of the polishes & waxes cost daft money, when you ever see a mobile valeted driving a beat up Ford Transit (nowt wrong with them js), they have these top MRST Designer vans, fat rims, and a top* paint job & logo lol

[@LOTPOR0402]

More to the point who pays it .No other job pays so much for so little , that most people can do at home on the drive

[@karl3927]

Certainly no motor trader would ever spend £1300 on a valet. From what I could see the guy cleaning the inside was using a magic eraser and some general purpose cleaner. They might as well gone to their local Tesco/Asda and bought some household cleaning items and all in one car polish such as Autoglym.

[@jamesguffogg7119]

Love this car restoration stuff, it's what I'd do if I had the money 29👍

[@EdzashedFudwinkle]

change to manual and amg monoblock wheels and spacers.. cmon you guys dissapoint me

[@Jamesmorley1999]

Doubt that’d make them much/any money. It’s hard to make money on a cheaper car, particularly when you start wasting it on manual swaps and the such like

[@detailingshorts885]

£1300 and they didn’t even do the seatbelts properly ! I noticed this lol. These guys are ripping people off. Looks like they didn’t even machine polish nor did they ceramic cost lol what an absolute bump. These are clearly overcharging.
