I would do anything to go back into a perfectly working W221 S600. I used to have one and hearing your sl start up with the bings and bongs made me feel super nostalgic. I almost cried because of how much I miss it. I had it for 13 years. I can remember the smell it had (smelled like it did when we bought it new) and the super comfortable ride with the insanely powerful V12 at the time

IMO, what prevents you from decapitation is the windshield and its sturdiness. One SL was flipped on a circuit, and the structure was not affected, the glass did not even break. The rollbar was made to future-proof the car against regulations and ensure a global distribution. Still a good idea anyway.

Informative video as always. Thanks A few points from a long time owner. The folding roof never failed me in 16 years of ownership (it was then 22 years old. You just need to operate it at least once a month. Well it always worked for me, and I regularly had the hardtop on and off and then on again... When you are about to put the soft top down consider putting a rolled up soft clean towel lengthwise in the back window ( create about a 4inch roll all the way across the folding roof) when the roof is halfway down you need to get out of the car stop the roof insert the towel (boring I know) This will stop the perspex creasing and cracking at the edges, as the perspex hardens over time. Sure you have to stop the roof going up halfway and then put the towel somewhere . I suggest the space where the roof folds into but it's worth it to avoid the perspex damage (I think) On the v8 SL's using the gearbox shifter brings the car alive when you want more excitement. Lastly the solid carved out of granite feel of the car you feel in a a well maintained never goes away even after all these years, so when there is only two of you in years to come, you should consider adding another one to your garage, To keep that feel and not have mechanical surprises, as you said earlier, you do have use them regularly. Perhaps keep in touch with the new buyer and buy it back again for half the dollars. You will love having it in your garage.

About a year ago I bought a 95 SL600 with 52k on it for $4k, put about another $5k in it and sold it a few weeks ago for $12,500. Listening to you describe your feelings toward the SL was like listening to a recording of what I said about mine. I will probably never own another, but if I do it will never be as nice for how little I had in it.

My father crashed a W123 in to a solid object that did not budge doing 40 mph without breaking before impact and he walked out of that car with just some minor bruises, I know, because he came home just hours after it happened and told me. That car today is 35 years old. So yeah, these cars are safeish. Problem is perhaps if you crash really badly with another modern vehicle, this thing will still most likely loose the fight, and most likely pretty badly. A new car is much stronger then any car made 20 - 30 years ago. And I LOVE the W123's and I love these things you got there! I'd buy em off ya if I could! xD

"The box design that literally every car manufacturer from the 90's had is way better than the bland design of the unique 2000's Mercedes look that doesn't stand out. The box design is iconic and stands out." It's ok to have your opinion but come on man, listen to what you are saying. The 90's look was interesting but I don't think you can say it stood out at all considering a lot of the designs going on in the 90's, meanwhile the 2000's design, especially considering the 4 oval headlights was and is not very common.

Judging by the end of the video Hoovie has bought a Ferrari 328, probably a GTS as Ferrari only sold a very few GTBs in the US. I must admit I approve, the 308 and 328 2-seaters are wonderful to drive, aside from the extremely heavy clutch, and are probably the easiest Ferraris to own, but this is Hoovie and, judging by the way the values of these have gone over the last few years, this one probably has issues. A friend of mine had a 328 GTB that he used as his daily transport for more than 15 years and it was extremely reliable and surprisingly cheap to own...

I highly enjoy your videos including your fascination for eighties pop culture. I always respect (and enjoy watching) other people’s cars and passion about them. That actually keeps me watching these videos as well. I cannot think of Mercedes without thinking “taxi” and after driving SL convertibles or the big sedans I’m always glad I don’t own them, BUT seeing other people explain why they love them so much I do totally understand. I have that with hot rods too. And Ferraris. Then again I am already looking forward to your Miami Vice rendition on the next episode! Keep it up!

@@jag251080 you're never an any issue with any of your 5? how long did you keep each of them? cause that's crazy lucky. the 80's mercs were pretty bad, and the 90s MBs even worse. they did get better in the 10s (the 2013 E that we have still hasn't broken down to be fair). in any case, MB has treated you well, so i guess keep on, keeping on. and yeah, no bmw ever again.

@@bungsana What are you talking about. The 90s mercedes are known for good reliability... Of course they are aging cars, and that means problems will occur, but nothing out of the oridnary really. Most other cars are at the scrap yard by now. It's when Chrysler stepped in things went downhill as they began to cheap out on various parts. Note also that Mercedes that were made in the US, rather than in Germany, are worse in terms of build quality, that also mean reliability wise. In Europe, US model imports are not favored, because of this.

Tyler, have you ever given any consideration to adding a genuine muscle car to the hoopty Fleet? While the prices of the premium and more popular cars from the classic muscle era have skyrocketed, there are still several diamonds in the Ruff available out there. For example the Buick Grand Sport made from 1970 through 1972 could be had with a big block and a 4-speed, the exact same body style and suspension as the Chevelle and GTO, and is still available for under $20,000. Several makes from American Motors can be had at good prices, and if you're willing to do a little polishing you can actually find the more popular Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, and GTOs at decent prices. I'd like to see one in the fleet and get your opinion on it. If nothing else, it would hold its value one hell of a lot better than the stuff you usually buy and repair cost on classic American Iron is a fraction of what the Euro stuff runs

I came across A97SL 600 about 3 years ago here in Boca. The car head 44K Original miles on the Odo And was in Pristina condition both body and mechanically with the exception of the top which had been crushed and punctured by the top of a Royal Palm tree which blew over during hurricane Irma. I paid $6200 for the car and after spending almost $7000 on a replacement top and Another $400 to repair the only other problem which was a tear to one of the seat backs caused by the collapsing mechanism In the roof skeleton. Not being a fan of Mercedes I was able to flip the car for a nice $22000 Which bought me a beautiful Brand new 2019 CamryXLE hybrid. The SL 600 was a very nice car but down here in South Florida I was tired of being The only white guy Behind the wheel of one. Plus I think the car was haunted by the ghost of the previous owner. Sometimes when I was driving at night I could hear a Weird whining sound coming from the back seat. It sounded Yiddish And always smelled like Einstein's bagels

I have a 99 SL500 same exterior color but gray interior. I know it's no V12 but that V8 is still SUPER fast man so crazy to say the rest are slow. My ONLY complaint about this car is the visibility with the soft top up. Unless the roll bar is down you cant see shit out of the back and even with it down it's still just horrendous. Other than that she's my baby and I love her... seriously though I go in the garage and talk to her sometimes, it's twisted lol. I think if you respect a vehicle it respects you back...

I see a 3000GT in back? I am assuming its turbo. Please don't bash it. Regular car reviews did recently, he was being a puss because owner was worried it would break...(That is nonsense) You have to sort out a neglected 3000GT/Stealth Turbo AWD before you can really really enjoy it. (My Stealth TT never had any serious problems, I just kept up on maintenance. 11Yr ownership/I am 28Yr old...) Also Tyler there is 19Ts/DR750 turbo kits etc. you get that done to your car and you'll shit your pants... Lot of forums and few local people I know have 440AWHP-1100AWHP 3000GT/Dodge Stealths... One is a Master mechanic named Ray Pampena. His current car looks stock as can be but is setup to 700-900AWHP.... It sounds soo rude like a aggressive V8... He said it's his Corvette/Viper/Porsche destroyer, but super comfortable. Love the mercedes except the 03 scares me. I have a 92 300D Turbo Diesel 361K. (love it)

i honestly don't know where people keep getting the idea that Mercedes dropped quality during the late 90's early 2000's..... i've owned nearly ever generation of Mercedes from 1983 to 2008, and they get more reliable and more luxurious the newer they get. now i also do all the work on my cars, so i know how the engineering changes over the years. more electronics does NOT mean less reliable. electronics are actually more reliable than mechanical points and timing mechanisms. people often think "ohhhh its got computers i dont have to maintain it" NOOOOOOOOO, you have to maintain them and do proper services.
