Here's why I Like to Buy Used Cars From Germans - 2014 Mercedes-Benz E 350 Convertible Full Review

[@thumperjdm]

How many of us here are currently not in the market for another car, but we're addicted to Bill reviews just to hear the comedy and attitude?😁

[@charlesmoore2485]

Mee !

[@8corymix8]

Not currently in the market either but if i was, i would drive from Detroit to Naples on vacation & demand to buy a car from Bill & nobody else. Im not an elbow rubber just like Bill isn't, but i would love to shake his hand, share a shot of corona virus whiskey & find out more about the guy. What a class act & talent. Instantly a likable fellow. On a crappy day, you can watch one of Bill's reviews & instantly be laughing. My favorite are the Lincoln reviews. Especially the Town Cars. I have a collection of 3 beautiful ones. Best Regards from the Motor City everyone!

[@charlesmoore2485]

Bill : “Real quick video today.” Thirty minutes later…”now about this car…”

[@rmkri]

Never mind "under 40", you kept it just under 38 minutes. I'm proud of you, Bill! Now don't ever change.

[@parkecorepersonaltrainingp2601]

Yes sir. Well said.

[@richardelson3261]

Bill is pure comedy genius. “German self help book on how to be friendly and cheerful.” Perfect.

[@Springbok314]

"Each headlight looks like it cost $11,000" " A first aid kit; everything a wounded German would need" "some German self-help book on how to be friendly and cheerful." Ha!

[@egold2071]

And of course, the Lexus First Aid Kit; Anything a wounded golfer needs! 🥴🥃

[@hertzair1186]

I’ll vouch for that…my parents are German and were very strict with proper auto maintenance on their cars. If you drove it one mile over the 3,000 mile oil change interval, it was one week in the cooler. Incidentally, the “E” does stand for Einspritzung….fuel injection.

I drive one of these 2014 E350 Cabriolet and they are wonderful cars. 140,000 miles with no troubles. i open/close the roof 7-8 times a day and still original cylinders. If you find one, grab it. It's a future classic.

Fed up with most car videos but Bill is in a different class...😂😂I could listen to him all day. He should come to the UK and critique us - and maybe a car or two! 👍👍

Good evening Bill from Ron in Manchester England. It is cool and wet here. Sorry the weather is muggy. Fantastic review of a fantastic car.

[@JonnyBravalicious]

Hey Bill, aside from your side splitting comedy I was so impressed with your comments and your complete review of the E350cdi that I bought a 2016 version and the car is simply incredible! So a huge thank you from across the pond.

[@donmoore7785]

I bought a Ski-Doo touring model sled from a German owner way back in 1985, and he had kept it in perfect order. He put a couple of ounces of oil in the cylinder every spring. I took it out and beat the snot out of it.

[@inexconst]

Your videos Bill are GREAT! Really enjoy your Florida weather reports and the birds, goats and ants I laugh so hard I tear up ! How refreshing and please Bill keep them coming

[@PureBloodUsa]

Great video. You are hilarious. I'm buying one this weekend. Thanks.

[@mannyalons8427]

I love this channel because of Bill. I actually came here to hear Bill talk and not to see the car.

[@johnhenrymcmahon6878]

Wonderful review, Bill!! I do think this edition of the E-class coupe/cabriolet (with this swoopy facelift) is by far the best looking. Sexy and stunning live in the metal-that rear hip makes me weak in da knees. My cousin Claire has an E450 convertible of this vintage (white with a blue top and cream leather, gorgeous) and drove me back to NYC from our Uncle Donny's memorial in Manahawkin, NJ. Stunning and larger than life, really. I felt like a celebrity lol ;)! As Janice so gloriously sang "Lord won't You buy me a Mercedes Benz...." Amen. :)

[@edwinedwards6796]

Always love the non verbal drive before the very end. Nice touch. Great review Bill! You knock it out everytime. 😎

[@jasonmccord2880]

Bill is fun... Must say drive by wire and autonomous drive isn't what customers want as much as it is what insurance corporations want.. love your reviews

I got a 2014 E350 Sedan for my first car at 24, and it's honestly my favorite model. Its a good balance of modern without being over the top in computer features, and still kind of tradicional. I dont like all the bells and whistles and safety features newer cars have, and I like keeping up with car maintenance in general. Its a beauty and im definitely keeping it as long as possible

[@RossEnzo]

I got a 2014 sedan at 23, still have it. Purchased in 2019 with 90ish K. It’s been good but careful of long oil change intervals, do it every 5k instead of ten!

I had a 2012 or 13 E350 for a rental for 2 weeks when my car was being repaired. Really nice car to drive. The park button on the end of shifter lever is a stupid idea. I had the car about 15 minutes and pressed it by accident while in traffic. Lucky I was slowing down at light but transmission made that nasty grinding noise.

[@egold2071]

That's the best part of having a rental, Tommy; Seeing what sorta violent noises you can make jamming the tranny... oh for the love of... transmission into park while doing 75 mph!

Up front want to give kudos to you Bill know what you are going thru and identify. You did the JJ and seem so fine I'm watching and wishing your health continues. Have studied this set of shots and understand the effects that come down the road. So at this point in my life I'm watching Bill talk about the baby going into the trunk net and thinking 'this is a normal way to spend my Friday night with a bit of gin and tonic' . We had this in a 350clk and it was a nice car but for the damned hydraulic top which I tried to fix myself and fucked it up and it cost thousands to fix.
